I am curious, who would be the most popular subject to paint. Many I know would love to own a Gehrig or a Christy, Ruth or Cobb.

Are they still the favorites.

It would be interesting to know who would be the most popular.

So who is your favorites. I know it would be hard to choose just one, so Choose three sport figures you would like to see on canvas hanging up in your mancave.


For me, my top three would be;

Kaline
Greenberg
Probert (hockey, adding something different)

Attachment 226138

A Probert or other hockey pic would be cool for sure, but, and although I am CDN, I think I'd still stick with a BB pic?
I love that Aaron I commented about some time ago in another thread. It is incredible looking to me but I doubt Graig would want to paint that one again?

I do love the 58 Topps Mantle/Aaron batting foes card/image if he could paint that, or the pic I own of my Uncle at the 58 WS game with Mickey Mantle.
(both below) but truthfully, I think I'd be pretty happy with most anything he desired to paint.

We are going to get 3 to 6 inches of snow today, till 11:PM. It just started snowing now.
If I have to drive to McDonalds to use there internet, I will, (or nearest establishment), I just need to start the thread, and I can always add the names later, because they will be in order.

Same here. (10 to 15 cm's) Just when you thought winter was finally over and spring/summer were about to begin!!

I'm in. I would love to have the image on the 1974 Topps Puzzle. Even better if the kids faces that appear on the 1974 Deckle Edge that were cropped out of the puzzle shot.

That's a lot of love for Hammerin' Hank!

Irv, unfortunately I can't paint that exact Aaron image again, though I can do something similar. Or, the Mantle and Hank image would also work very well - I'm pretty sure I have a high-res copy of the actual photo somewhere in my files.

Robert, as long as we can get a nice high-res copy of that image, it can certainly be done.

That would be great.

Fingers crossed!

Just in case there is still a bit of confusion, and to ensure we are all clear, how about a quick step by step rundown on how this is all going to come together.
