Hey all,
Thanks again for all of your lovely comments, especially in regards to Rembrandt - that man was a beast.
Which reminds me, David, you've actually seen Night Watch in person? If so, color me jealous. That's definitely on my list of things to see before I die. The size of that thing alone gives me nightmares!!
I kinda thought that the Robinson was gonna be a cool painting (if I did it right), especially because of that play of light. I guess there really is a metaphor in there, whether subtle or not, about the integration of the sport, or even of America. They're a couple of other images that I'd love to paint of the man that echo that sentiment, especially that famous team shot of the '47 club, with Robbie being the only African American amongst the boys. It just speaks volumes.
And of course, feel free to use these images on your desktop or iPhone - whatever's clever! I'm more than honored to have you guys enjoy them so much. Thankfully, no money needs to be handed to any of those parties involved.
Also, here are two more I got back from the photographers today:
Babe Ruth, 1918, 30" x 34"
Lou Gehrig, 1938, 18" x 24"
The color needs a little correcting in both of them, but I think you get the idea.
Hope y'all dig 'em too!
