Never Again
Alabama artist Daniel A. Moore has now completed his latest masterwork in oils, Never Again (shown at left). This magnificent new painting portrays the power and grace of Trent Richardson’s hallmarked running style as exemplified in his historic 57-yard run during the 2011 Iron Bowl.
From concept to preliminary drawing to the final rendered grain of flying sand, Mr. Moore has poured hundreds of passionate hours of labor into this exquisite work of fine art. It is this same passion and dedication to his art which has been instrumental in his paintings and prints receiving collectors-grade status. His first limited edition print, The Goal Line Stand, soon sold-out after its release in 1979 and prints have recently sold for over $3000 on the secondary collector’s market.
Limited edition Fine Art Prints of Never Again are currently in production by New Life Art. Prints will be strictly limited according to the number of prints ordered by March 15, 2012. Each print will be inspected and hand-signed and numbered by the artist. Each print will be accompanied by a certificate of Limited Edition and each comes with a special gold-embossed medallion design for enhancing custom framing. The full-color limited edition prints of "Never Again" are targeted for publication and release in March

Alabama's Leader in Fine Art Publishing Since 1979
Mr. Moore notes, "I think that collectors are well aware and appreciate the time it takes me to complete a painting. I won't quit until I know I've given each painting my best effort, no matter how long it takes me to get there, even if it sometimes goes beyond our target dates."
Unlike the computer-generated action images of sports (simply and quickly published from enhanced photographs) that are on the market, Moore's original compositions are fully hand-rendered in the tradition of the Great Masters, using brushes and oil paint on canvas. Mr. Moore received his formal training in painting from the University of Alabama and received his Fine Arts Degree from UA in 1976.
Since 1979, New Life Art has published the exquisite quality of Daniel A. Moore Fine Art according to the highest standards in the publishing industry. "The Goal Line Stand," our first limited edition print, sold out shortly after its release in 1979. Since then, these prints have sold for over $2,500 on the secondary collector's market. "Never Again" will be published as a Time-Limited Edition, meaning that it will be "Sold Out by Publisher" upon its release.
