Junior Caminero

"Junior Caminero" is a 16" x 20" original watercolor painting of the Tampa Bay Rays' young star third baseman, painted in 2026, the same season the Rays reached their third World Series and Caminero his first. The sunburst background revisits my 2008 Carl Crawford painting, reworked in muted grays so the neon throwback RAYS logo and stingray take center stage. A large portrait in his All-Star cap pairs with his powerful swing, with shadows built from cool blue tones and warm red tones to give both figures depth. See images of the process below.
