Painter and sketch artist LeRoy Neiman, best known for evoking the kinetic energy of the world's biggest sporting and leisure events with bright quick strokes, died Wednesday at age 91.
My brother and I used to raid our Crayola box and create our own versions of Mr. Neiman's unique impressionism. How I wish I still had the portrait I sketched of my brother's t-ball team. I thought it looked like a true LeRoy Neiman original! Thank you, Mr. Neiman, for reporting the major events of the day in your colorful way.
