This beautifully framed piece features an original piece of watercolor artwork glass-framed in an attractive two inch wide black resin frame with a double mat. The outer dimensions of the framed piece are approximately 17” wide x 24.5” high, although the exact size will vary according to the size of the original piece of art.

At the core of the framed piece is the actual piece of original artwork as painted by the artist on textured 100% rag, water-marked watercolor paper. In many cases the original artwork has handwritten notes in pencil from the artist (be sure to “See the actual artwork without the frame” elsewhere in this website). Simply put, this is beautiful, one-of-a-kind artwork.

The outer mat is a rich textured black acid-free mat with a decorative inset white v-groove, while the inner mat is a complimentary colored acid-free mat reflecting one of the team’s primary colors. The website image of this framed piece shows the mat color that we suggest (Red), but since each piece is custom framed, we are happy to use whatever color mat you wish (depending on availability) – our standard mat colors are:

Light Blue / Dark Blue / Brown / Maroon (close to brown) / White / Silver / Gold / Yellow (bright yellow) / Green (dark green) / Orange / Purple / Red (bright red, somewhat close to PMS 186)

Beneath the artwork is a silver plate with black text describing the original artwork. The text for this piece will read:

This original, one-of-a-kind watercolor painting of the 1963-64 Chicago Blackhawks jersey is the original artwork that was used in the creation of this Chicago Blackhawks uniform evolution print and tens of thousands of other Chicago Blackhawks products that have been sold across North America. This original piece of art was painted by artist Tino Paolini for Maple Leaf Productions Ltd.

Beneath the silver plate is a 3” x 9” reproduction of a well known, best-selling print that celebrates the history of the team. The print beautifully illustrates the chronological evolution of the team’s uniform and shows you how the original art was used in the creation of this print. If you look closely, you will see that the print features the actual artwork being offered for sale. The 3” x 9” print looks like this:

The piece is framed with an extremely high quality framing glass. We have used this glass style for many years with excellent results. We package every piece very carefully in a double layer of bubble wrap and a rigid double-wall cardboard package to avoid breakage at any point during the shipping process, but if damage does occur, we will gladly repair, replace or refund. Please note that all of our products come with a 90 day 100% satisfaction guarantee.

Each framed piece also comes with a two page letter signed by Scott Sillcox describing the history behind the art. If there was an extra-special story about your piece of art, that story will be included in the letter. When you receive your framed piece, you should find the letter lightly attached to the front of the framed piece.

If you have any questions, at any time, about the actual artwork or about any of the artist’s handwritten notes on the artwork, I would love to tell you about them. Simply email me, Scott Sillcox, at scott@heritagesportsart.com and I will tell you everything I can about your original piece of art. The artists and I spent well over ten years of our lives creating these pieces of original artwork, and in many cases there are stories I can tell you about your actual piece of artwork that might add an extra element of interest in your one-of-a-kind purchase.

History

The Blackhawks continued to hold their place as an NHL elite team as they finished the season with 84 points, just one point behind the league leaders, the Montreal Canadiens; just missing out on the club's first ever first-place finish by 2 points.The Hawks also boasted having 3 players in the leagues top 10 scoring: Stan Mikita and Bobby Hull  - who finished 1st and 2nd with 89 and 87 points respectively and Kenny Wharam who finished 6th with 71 points.  Mikita was still a few years away from being a candidate for the Lady Byng trophy for most gentlemanly player. He led Chicago in penalty minutes with 146, good enough to rank him third among NHL tough guys.Glenn Hall remained a stalwart in the Chicago net logging his usual immense workload of 65 games and posted a very respectable 2.30 goals-against average. In the playoffs, for the second year in a row, the Blackhawks met the Red Wings in the first round. And for the second straight year Detroit proved to be a formidable opponent. The teams split the first two games and continued to alternate victories through the first six games.  And for the second straight year the Red Wings advanced to the Stanley Cup final by defeating the Blackhawks on Chicago Stadium ice 4-2.This sweater, as worn by Chicago rookie Phil Esposito, showcases some great changes from the 1957-58 version. The crossed tomahawks and c have been shifted away from the sleeve stripes to the shoulders. Notice the thick, black cuffs on the base of the sleeves. The end of the Original Six era is drawing near (the NHL would expand for the 1967-68 season)gone will be the days where 4 out of 6 teams would be strong enough to contend for the Stanley Cup! The mid 60's were also notorious for Hull, Mikita and Boom Boom Geoffrion introducing ridiculously exaggerated (banana) curved stick blades whereas most NHL's used straight blades.
