THE GREATEST ARTISTIC INTERPRETATION
OF AMERICAN FOOTBALL EVER PUBLISHED

            In October, 1994, the autobiographical account of Ernie Barnes' transition from
        professional football player to artist was revealed in "From Pads To Palette." This hard-
        bound book contains the artist's dramatic sketches, intimate notes, original artwork
        and a personal diary of his life in "the pit" of NFL trenches while with San Diego Chargers
        and Denver Broncos.

            Revealed is the cultured and refined Leah, a wealthy LaJolla socialite whose affection
        and wisdom broke through his crust of toughness and inspired the artist in him to come
        alive. This historic and easy-to-read book is a courageous and substantive story of sensitivity
        surviving the hazards of being born a male. A must read for the sports enthusiast, art lover,
        and all of those who have a dream.

        ABOUT THE ARTIST- Americans became familiar with the art of Ernie Barnes via the
        television show "Good Times," and his appointment as the Official Artist of the XXIII
        Olympiad at Los Angeles. But his work gained critical acclaim and collector strength
        through Manhattan's prestigious Grand Central Art Galleries. Today, he continues to
        be one of the most collected artists in America. Ernie Barnes and his wife, Bernie, live in
        a quiet section of greater Los Angeles where he works in his home studio.
