In The Shadows Of Graig's Paintings
I have been painting for a while now and have gotten much better since when I first started. I have done some vintage paintings and am in the process of doing another Jackie, a Willie Mays, Ted Williams as well as Mickey Mantle. Have done commissioned pieces of Jackie and Sandy for some collectors.

Very nice; I look forward to seeing your newfound improvements applied to a baseball piece. I can see a definite style budding, particularly in the Koufax piece -- very different from Graig's, to be sure, but potentially quite appealing in its own right and perhaps also unique to your perspective. To my eye, much as Graig's style really lends itself to an aesthetic that is more typical of pre-westward movement baseball, the beginnings of your own style evoke post-war modernism. That may be why I am much more taken by the Koufax, with its reflection of his sleek and efficient power, then the Robinson, which seeks to capture a moment of rough-and-tumble grit. I recommend you look to develop that style, and look to create images that work with it. (I can easily imagine older players working with it as well -- Williams and DiMaggio being obvious choices.)

Thanks! Can only keep getting better, hopefully I can make paintings seem more realistic than photographs soon!

Can't wait for it to be done :D |
Nice stuff. Another frustrated artist here; perhaps some day I can get back into it.
