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.

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.

Fine. I will add mine too. Looks even better in person.
