Don't make me start that Pennock...

:o

I think he captured the unibrow perfectly. Is that really Baker or the drummer for REM?

Pennock huh? Well at least you didn't go all Julian Wera on my @$$.

Hey guys,

Here's the latest for those of you keeping score!

Jackie stealing home against Andy Seminick during the first game of a doubleheader between Brooklyn and Philadelphia on July 2, 1950.

That was a mouthful.

Hope you dig it!

That's a gorgeous JR. Where's the Gil McDougal you said you were working on?

Bobby Shantz in the future?

Do the Vera just for that Scooby Doo reference alone. I bet he spent all night working on that line. :-)

P.S: GK, BH was sent yesterday.

Once again, spectacular painting! Someday I have to see these in person!! I bet they look even better!

Hey all,

I figure it's been more than a month since I posted something last on here, so I thought I'd give it a whirl for those of you who are still tuned in.

I got these three 9"x12"s back from the photographers a couple of weeks ago. The Gehrig dates from '27, the DiMag from '36 and the Feller from '37. All of them originate from that master of disaster, Charles M. Conlon.

I also have a bunch of larger ones in progress, but I'll have to post them later when the studio is a bit cleaner and I can actually get them onto the easel to take photos of 'em. Some of them are even commissions from fellow board members. Woot!

Oh, and if you want to keep track of any painting stuff, I regularly update my Facebook page - http://www.facebook.com/home.php?ref...GraigKreindler

Hope everyone had a wonderful Thanksgiving weekend!

nice job again Graig. Out of a personal preference, I prefer your action ones that show more of the stadium. Nothing against your close ups but for me your strongest with the wide action shots. Looking forward to seeing the ones your working on and for gods sake make a Hal Chase! :)

I second the call for a Chase...any candidates for a good Chase picture to work from???

Thanks for your thoughts, Sean. I actually really enjoy doing those action shots the most, as like you, I love being able to see the ballpark. Man, if I could do one of those a month, I'd be super happy. Maybe I really need to start trying.

But yeah, the small ones are ultra-satisfying too. Thankfully, those images only go on the smaller panels, so in a way, I think of them like baseball cards - profile pictures, I guess. At the same time, they're not as tough to research as some of those other paintings, so they're a nice break from everything.

Regarding Chase, I've always loved this shot from '05. Though smiling, I always thought he looked kinda devilish.
