Combining sports and art together can be quite a challenging task. 

In today's market, original sports paintings of famous athletes
 have become a very popular collectable item. 

In many situations, the paintings are signed by the athletes themselves, 
which significantly increase their value. 

Owning an original sports painting by a sports artist is considered to be a 
sound investment, as well as more lucrative than a lithograph or a serigraph.
