This exciting new painting by Al Nelson Weitzel is being reproduced as a limited edition lithograph and a full size canvas giclée.  Al has pledged 60% of the selling price of each of these prints to the University of Saskatchewan Huskie Athletics.  By purchasing either of these valuable prints you not only have a chance at winning the original painting, valued at $18,500.00,  you also help raise money for Huskie scholarships!

I have a great appreciation for the University of Saskatchewan.  For the first five years of my art career I was employed at the university, working nights as a caretaker.  This not only allowed me to keep money earned by my art in my art business, but also provided me with needed exercise without taxing me mentally.  More over, I found it very inspirational to be on campus each morning to see the sunrise in one of Saskatoon’s most scenic locations.  Obviously, showing my appreciation to an institution as large as the U of S seemed impractical until the suggestion was made that I could donate money to Huskie scholarships.  And so, it is with great pleasure that I pledge 60% of moneys earned through the sale of “Eager to Play” prints to U of S Huskie Athletics.
