"Don't Mess With Texas"

Nolan Ryan

Nolan Ryan’s legend was built on a powerful fastball, a record 5,714 strikeouts and a refusal to back down. On August 4, 1993, that competitive reputation took on another lasting image when Robin Ventura charged the mound after being hit by a pitch at Arlington Stadium. Ryan caught the White Sox third baseman in a headlock during the confrontation, creating one of baseball’s most widely remembered brawls. In “Don’t Mess With Texas,” Justyn Farano captures that unmistakable moment from Ryan’s Rangers years, connecting collectors with the defiant spirit behind a remarkable Hall of Fame career.

Ryan and Ventura fill the canvas, with a Texas star behind them reinforcing the painting’s title and Rangers connection. Fiery orange and red brushwork gives the confrontation its intensity, keeping the focus on the moment that became part of Ryan’s Texas legend.

The philosophy behind my art has always been to make the most compelling, engaging experience for you, the viewer. I try to envision what it was like to compete against that athlete on the field. I want you to feel that grit and rawness of emotion, the athlete’s competitive fire, and passion.

As a perfectionist, my obsession of getting these details precise, takes razor focus, constant critiquing, and fine tuning. It’s not till the painting is complete to my highest of standard, till I am genuinely satisfied.
