Ian Thorpe can't paint hands but he put the heart in the right place!

Cezanne could not paint hands that well either!

Above is a painting by Ian Thorpe titled My Pain, My Gain, which will be auctioned off for a charitable cause called: Right to Play China. Here is a snippet from the article: "...My Pain, My Gain is estimated to fetch between $US7,700 ($9,230) and $US10,300 ($12,350) when it is offered to buyers at Sotheby's Sport in Art] auction on October 5. - [Preview catalog]

The acrylic on canvas measures two metres by four metre and shows Thorpe cutting through the water with tiny human figures all over him...." [Link]
