What image would you choose to have Graig paint for you...

[thekingofclout]

regardless of size or price?

This is still a very tough decision for me but I think I would stick with this image of "The King of Clout"

And for those of you that are new to the board, simply click on his site and you'll understand what we're talking about...

I cant tell you how many times I've thought about this. Every time I see a killer photo I cant help but imagine how it would look on canvas in Graig's hand. I think it would be the coolest thing for him to do a big panoramic style team photo (although that would likely be one hell of an undertaking).

This shot of the 1912 Red Sox walking onto the field in the World Series would make a killer painting. Love the menacing stare across the field at the competition. And those amazing jackets. Also love that they are carrying their equipment. And not to mention the great stadium signage.

Brock,
I agree! I've never seen anything like that image before- very emotionally moving! Start saving your shillings

Jimmy,
Your image would be a great one too! Babe looks like he means business!

I agree it's a great image. But - regardless of what was scratched in the negative, the Sox are clearly walking off of the field - probably after pre-game batting/fielding practice.

A team photo never occurred to me. I like it.

I would have to give it a bit more thought, but the image of Roberto Clemente making his leaping catch featured on his 1956 card was the first to come to mind.

I think the quote refers to the entire team was coming onto the field from the clubhouse. You can clearly see they are bringing their equipment with them...stuff they wouldn't have if they were coming off from batting/fielding practice.

Oh, Jimmy. What am I going to do with you?

Brock, I LOVE that shot. I actually have a few more from that World Series and the one from 1911, many of which are shots of both teams taking the field. The compositions have great views of the old Polo Grounds, complete with advertisements, old sweaters, and many familiar faces. I can't wait to paint one of them!!

[PhilNap]

Thanks Jimmy. Will be in the "On the Easel" thread soon enough. With Graig's workload that could be a while though.

OK - they had walked onto the field from the outfield clubhouse, but as the playing field is now behind them and the 3rd base (visitor's) dugout is a relatively few feet in front of them, and are also walking off of the field. So I guess we're both right.

You're a very sharp guy Mark and I mean that sincerely... but even I have made a mistake...once...maybe... well kinda...actually... I still think I was right... never mind

They are coming onto the field from the centerfield clubhouse at the Polo Grounds, walking toward their dugout.

I am loving this thread. Some of those photos are fantastic! ...and only surpassed by Graig's paintings.

[thekingofclout]

This would look spectacular in "Kreindlercolor"*

I think this window display would make a great painting.

[GKreindler]

That Cubs photo is absolutely wonderful. The action, the light, everything!! I'd kill to do 100 paintings like that!

[jacksons]

Here's one I need to get you a good scan of, Graig.

[jacksons]

or this one...

[jacksons]

talk about use of light...this baby would sell like hotcakes.

I was watching this photo on ebay and was interested (ultimately i did not win the auction) because of Bench in the photo. I don't know any of the other players but i love how the Cubs player is in the air, starting his slide, coming home from third and Bench is waiting to recieve the ball, not to mention the guy on deck.

This is Ruth's last homerun #714 at Forbes Field...would be an awesome artwork!

Looks like the sliding Cub is Don Kessinger. #7 - Rick Monday.

[HRBAKER]

I'm kind of partial to this snapshot I bought from Dan Bretta. Eddie Collins with Mr. Mack in the background. Don't those unifroms look a little warm?

Kessinger and Monday are correct. The funny thing is I ran across DOn Kessinger on Facebook and "friended" him. Very nice man and I try not to stalk him. LOL

I bet he would love this photo

Blocking the plate like that, Bench looks like the dominant predator, ready to devour his prey (Kessinger). I wonder if he was safe or out?

Either way, that is a great shot, and would make for a tremendous Kreindler work of art!
