As long as the winner of the raffle is happy with the time frame of it getting done that is all that really matters.

Well, I contributed $100, so I hope it was okay for me to enjoy the progress reports. - and I sure want to see the finished work.

You didn't "contribute," either. You bought a chance to win. You didn't win. Graig owes you nothing.

I can attest that Graig's commission wait list can sometimes be lengthy. I also know that he will give these raffle paintings a bit of priority in moving them along ahead of his normal schedule. Which he certainly has no obligation to do. I think it's great that he even does these raffles at all. It's a great opportunity for those that choose to participate. If instant gratification is what one wants, I am sure there are plenty of hack artists that can accommodate. Greatness cannot be rushed. I received my commission this week and I think I can safely say that no one has waited longer for completion of one of Graig's works. It was worth all the years of waiting. A true masterpiece!! Thank you Graig, there is no one better at what you do.

Phil, that is one of the most remarkable paintings I've ever seen. A heritage piece. Thanks for posting.

That is one painting, well worth the wait.

You need to take this one on a traveleing exhibit as this is the one painting I was hoping to see in person.

This!

Graig has turned into a Hall of Famer and I think all of us on the forum like to feel like he is one of us and therefore are very protective of him. Plus, he is a class act, approachable and very modest. I just hope he's finding that perfect balance of parenthood and working.

You didn't "contribute" anything. It was a raffle, not a benefit. You paid for a chance to win. Nothing else.

David- as to your comments to me and Ben, we never said we were owed anything!
