Matt Szczur immortalizes Anthony Rizzo, Kris Bryant on canvas

Matt Szczur showed off his artistic skills again on Instagram, this time using his talents to paint Cubs teammates Kris Bryant and Anthony Rizzo for charity.

The painting appears to be modeled from a Getty Images photo of Bryant and Rizzo running toward each other just after the pair secured the final out in Game 7 to win the World Series.

Szczur posted on Instagram, "Check out a sneak peak of the painting I did of @kris_bryant17 and @arizz_44 to auction off for Cubs Charities! It will be available to bid on at the Bricks & Ivy Ball in April! @cubs #cubscharities #letsgive."

Sczcur's painting will auctioned off at the charity event at Navy Pier on April 19.

In January, Szczur's two self-portraits raised $1,020 for a bone marrow foundation in his hometown of Cape May, N.J.
