So I am finally home and seeing these paintings on a big screen. They look even better. That Hubbell is amazing. I can almost feel the breeze blowing watching him. So incredibly lifelike.

I have to agree with Mark and Scott as well. On a phone the Hornsby was good, but on my monitor, I am just blown away. Mesmerizing is the right word. Is that Hack Wilson in the background?

Man.. all these paintings makes me want another one.

Keep up the good work buddy.

Mark

Guilty!!!

Guilty like a fox!

Thanks again for the warm words, Mark. For serious.

I just saw these recent postings....Although I am loving the Berra/Robinson I have reason to believe the Hubbell will be right up there on my favorites list next to your Mathewson. Spectacular as usual.

I am hoping to get a chance to meet you at the National this year. Keep up the great work!

Thank you so much, Andrew! Just let me know when you'll be around Chicago and hopefully we can meet up!

Hey everyone,

Hope you're all keeping cool.

With some cool timing by my photographers, I just got these guys back:

Carl Hubbell, July 10, 1934, 29" x 35"

Jackie Robinson & Yogi Berra, September 28, 1955, 30" x 36"

Today is actually the 79th anniversary for the Hubbell painting scene - warming up on the sidelines before he struck out Ruth, Gehrig, Foxx, Simmons and Cronin in succession during the '34 All-Star Game. Hubbell's always been one of my favorite players as a few of you know, so this painting was an absolute joy to create.

The second guy is hopefully a bit more obvious as to what it depicts - quite the photo finish!

Anywho, comments and crits are always appreciated. The color adjusting is almost there, but still might be a little off in some places.

Looking forward to seeing some of y'all in Chicago!

The texture on Berra's uniform--and Jackie's too--is just amazing, Graig!

AWESOME!!! :eek:
Congrats, Graig and to whoever ends up owning these two beautiful Kreindler gems.

Outstanding and awesome.
