Pure Love is an original oil painting done on lightweight, 1/8” aluminum composite panel. This piece of art highlights Kobe Bryant during his first years with the Los Angeles Lakers - wearing #8. He’s painted during one of his signature reverse dunks - eyes focused on the hoop.

I loved this image, and I thought it would look great as an oil painting. The title, “Pure Love” comes from an interview Kobe Bryant gave. He said, “the quality that we all share is that we love what we do…it’s a pure love. It’s not the fame. It’s not the money. It’s not even the championships. It’s loving what we do and we do it all the time. We study all the time. And as a result, the championships come.”
