On the easel...

[Forever Young]

[QUOTE=GKreindler;1114888]Hey guys,

I just got this painting back from the photographers today:


Mickey Mantle, April 17, 1951, 20" x 46"





HOLY AWESOME!

Great painting, Graig. I really enjoyed the 'Bewildered Bystander' article.

Edited to delete superfluous, already taken joke

Thanks so much for the love, everybody. I'm thrilled you like this one. I hope the client does too!

David, "Where's the Foul Line" was actually my second choice.

One of your best, I think. I wouldn't sweat the titles too much as the paintings speak for themselves.

Hiya Graig

Who wouldn't like the crap outa that beauty!

Superb job.

[GKreindler]

Thanks a lot, guys.

And Howard, I appreciate that comment. I wonder if it could take the place of the Mathewson?

Graig

Absolutely STUNNING. It's incredible how you brought the Mantle image to life.

Graig

It's pretty close Graig but I still think your Mathewson is the best. You captured something there that even technically great portraitists seldom manage. I don't know exactly how to explain it but to me it combines the vivid colors and fine brushwork of Holbein with the "earthiness" of someone like Gilbert Stuart.

Thanks for continuing to post. I always enjoy seeing your new stuff.
