On the easel...

Oh, and George, I'm sorry - I totally forgot to answer your question!

I've only done a small handful of 19th century players, and a lot of them actually appear with their teams from the early 20th. Of that group, I do have a finished George Van Haltren, a finished Cy Young, a half-finished Ed Delahanty, and a bunch of others drawn out and ready to go, including: Bobby Wallace, Jesse Burkett, Sam Crawford, and Bobby Lowe. They're might be a few others too, but I can't quite think of them at the moment.

Here are scans of the two finished guys:





If we're talkin' about players that were strictly 19th century, I only have one completed, and that's of Radbourn:



But I also have some in-progress ones of Louis Sockalexis, JM Ward, Mike Kelly, Deacon White and Cap Anson.

Hopefully I'll be able to finish some of them soon...yikes.

Who did you have in mind specifically? Or is that a secret?

Very very nice Graig!! I don't ever recall seeing the Cy Young painting. Ever since picking up a few very difficult woodcuts of James Creighton I've thought about how wonderful it would be to have a painting of him. I believe that there are only 2 actual photos of him with one pose being the entire 1860 Brooklyn Excelsiors team for which the woodcut was created.

Thanks a lot, George!

Creighton would most certainly be an awesome challenge to undertake. I mean, sometimes one can get pretty lucky with those 19th century guys and their studio portraits, but as I'm sure you can imagine, the further back you go, the less and less easy it becomes. But, that's also part of the fun!!

What an absolutely gorgeous painting - I was out of the running before it started, but I hope you got what you were looking for (I have no feel for prices on this sort of thing): http://www.legendaryauctions.com/Lot...ntoryid=155158

Hey Scott,

Thanks for the well-wishes. I'm still really torn about how I feel with the results of this auction. The piece was put up by one of our clients, and in his particular case, wasn't something that we necessarily encouraged. Like I mentioned a few months ago too, it just seems really weird to me when I see my paintings up for auction in any format.

However, I hope that in the end, whoever bought it loves it once it's in hand!

The Cobb batting painting is a great painting, but once you are talking about 20,000 for a painting you are bringing in artists like Paul Serusier and Emile Bernard.

Well, I guess I'm not French, after all.

Really? For 20k?

Never heard of those guys. Who did they play for? I'm sticking with Kreindler.

Serusier


Bernard
