Graig,
I am with Mark(perezfan), David Atkatz, and just about everyone else.
You are the Rembrandt of Sports Painting.
That Jackie Robinson is Spectacular. Mark's description about your use of light is spot on. I love how Jackie appears almost in a spotlight with the whole background in the shade. Great great contrast effect.
There is something very emotion provoking about the pic. That little playful smile. It's like he's thinking "I gonna have some fun with this pitcher"
This is definitely on par with the Matty. I have to say it's getting harder and harder to pick my favorite as you keep cranking out these things.
Maybe we need a new thread. What is your favorite Kreindler? ...Ok post your top 3 , but you can't vote for your own, if you own one.
Outside of mine
1) Matty (Nuff Said)
2) Jackie Robinson (new one)
3) Joe Jackson (The detail and texture of the hands on the bat and the glove in the back pocket are just crazy good)
4) My next one whenever it comes.
I don't think you have anything to worry about impressing that high profile guy. If he is a sports or Jackie Robinson nut, there is no way in hell he isn't going to go crazy for it.
Mark
