Just received this oil painting to go along with my original Prang lithograph. It measures 20"x25"...can't wait to get it framed!

I got married last week and this was the present I gave to my groomsmen, all big baseball fans...
 I framed a larger version of the portrait and gave each a set packaged with a stick of gum in it's own wrapper.

Now THAT is beyond bad@$$, Gary. Really awesome idea and beautiful execution (as always). And congrats - I joined the club a few months ago, too.

Thanks guys! I'm always reluctant to give away my art as presents because I feel like I'm forcing friends and family to hang it on their wall and the fact that my art is second nature to me and is easy. In reality everyone in my life loves to receive my art when I do give it as a present. I went back and forth between the portraits and a flask or something, but fortunately, my wife talked sense into me and told me to go ahead and do the drawings for my groomsmen. They went over great and made everyone happy. Guess that's why wives are called "the better half"...

Hi...What's the story on your 20"x25" painting you posted the other day?....is that from the period? or modern?...is that a prang painting....or I should say...is it a painting Prang made prints of?.... Do you just collect baseball paintings...or other sports?..I got a football painting last year by Hy S. Watson...see below      -Carlton

The Prang painting is a modern reproduction but not a print...100% oil painting based on the original Prang lithograph. I had it done as a companion piece to the original Prang lithograph in my collection (the second one titled "A Stolen Base?"). I also collect some 19th century boxing items although very limited. Beyond these paintings, my idea of original art is woodcuts...it would be my dream to find an original baseball woodblock which was used in one of the 19th century publications. I have never seen one. George Last edited by aquarius31; 08-18-2013 at 08:22 PM.

Those card size paintings keep showing up on one of my Campanella searches. Those look much nicer than the Campanella looks on eBay. If you get that one please let me know as I'd like to see a nice, detailed scan.

Those Edward Vela hand-painted cards are beautifully executed. Really love those... especially the impressionist style and interesting backgrounds.
Thanks for posting

Interesting item on your want list, that original woodblock...I agree I've never heard of one...if you get time email me photos of your 19th century boxing items, would like to see. May I ask who painted your Prang copy painting?...they did a great job! Speaking of emailing....I don't know what the heck happened....I thought I was emailing you my question direct with photos of my Hy S. Watson football painting...I even noticed I didn't get an email reply from you!...I never even looked back on this thread till today...late night fuzzy brain I guess LOL...I wouldn't usually want to post a football piece on someone's baseball specific thread...Nevertheless thanks for your reply.....and apologies to the constituency for the intrusion. -Carlton
