Bud Grant Print
Over the past year, with invaluable input from Bud, a beautiful painting emerged that captures the life of a North American sports legend. His amazing journey started from the grain docks of Superior, Wisconsin, across the border into Canada and on to Pro Football’s Hall of Fame. This painting captures the life of an extraordinary man who enjoyed his free time in the outdoors when he was not participating in athletics.

Dimension of Print: Paper size 38 1/8 x 22 1/2. Each are numbered, signed and inspected by the artist. They are available for $300 each, or personally signed by Bud Grant for $395.
Proceeds from the print will benefit the Vikings Children’s Fund.
