1979 IRON BOWL - Steadman Shealy
Alabama 25 | Oklahoma 18
After the completion of The Top of the Line, Mr. Moore decided to go back and commemorate the dramatic come-from-behind touchdown against Auburn during the 1979 season that allowed the Tide to go to the 1980 Sugar Bowl and play for the national championship. Alabama was trailing, and the Tide's hopes lay heavily upon Steadman Shealy, who was playing with a previously injured right knee that still had not healed. In the fourth quarter, Bama mounted an 82-yard drive that Shealy capped with a scamper of eight yards into the end zone. The touchdown gave Alabama a 25-18 victory over Auburn, paving the way to the Sugar Bowl and another National Championship.
Daniel A. Moore's body of work, generated from a life-long labor of love, has grown well into the millions of dollars in created value. His fine art prints have been collected by art lovers across the U.S. and in several foreign countries. But above all, his fine art limited edition prints have become treasured heirlooms of his alma mater's faithful.
For each of his major releases the artist spends hundreds of hours and even 1,000+ hours in creating the original oil painting — the all-important masterwork for a fine art print production. Beginning in 1979, with the sale of The Goal Line Stand for $10,000, his subsequent masterworks have sold for up to $80,000. In recent years the artist's original oils – each typically measuring 36" x 48" – have been certifiably appraised to establish fair market prices for up to $239,000 for The Tradition Continues ($1,870/sq. in.).
