Hey all,

So, Jose's juuuuuuust about done.



At this point, the most important thing that has to happen is for it to dry for a week, so I can then oil it out and all of those lighter matte areas that are eye-sores right now will all be luscious and vibrant. I'll be able to share some details then and can talk about them with a bit more depth.

The plan is that I'll be able to oil it out and start glazing by the end of the weekend (hopefully), and I'll be able to take it to the photographers a few days later. Which means we'll be able to call this a finished painting!

Thank you all for bearing with me in this whole effort, as it went longer than I had hoped it would. The truth is, fatherhood has certainly changed the way I work (and am able to DO work), so meeting deadlines - whether 'real' or self-imposed - has become even more challenging.

With that in mind, I'm not too sure whether it would be fair to you guys to have another raffle in the near future. I know that the time table rubbed some people the wrong way, and the last thing I want to do is piss anyone on this board off, especially since you've all been so good to me for the past 8 years. At the same time though, if any of you have thoughts about it, I'd love to hear them, whether in a PM or here on the thread.

Anywho, I hope you're all still enjoying the process, and I'm looking forward to having a finished, professionally-photographed product to show y'all soon, and just as important, to put in Chris' patient hands!

Thanks, all.

Graig

Looks great. I would think that anyone participating in such a raffle would understand the time it takes to paint something that's a true work of art. Would be cool to see the raffles continue for many reasons, including the fun we all have tracking the process the winner uses in selecting the image and following the process of painting from start to finish.

Very excited to have this adorning my wall shortly Graig! It is truly an amazing piece.

I have mentioned this to you but I echo the thoughts above and for one hope that you may will have the time and interest to hold another Net54 raffle. I want another lucky winner to experience what I have the pleasure of experiencing and I promised to buy Billy a ticket for all his work organizing the previous raffle.

I think being on the receiving end of one of your remarkable paintings is worth the wait. Thank you for sharing the process.

100% enjoying the process. Only more pictures would have made it better.

As far as the raffling off another amazing painting. My only suggestion would be to add the expected time till completion. Whether it is 2 months or 2 years, whatever you are comfortable with. We all have different expectations and a soft expected finishing date would take care of the only concern that has ever been brought up.

I know I would buy a spot like I have in the others.

Ben North,
In regards to painting with the detail the last one had, it would be difficult for Graig to give a soft date with any kind of close accuracy, and to put a soft date on any of his paintings would cause him to worry about getting it done on a deadline. I know I wouldn't want Graig rushing to get any painting of mine done. Why tamper with success. No, a soft deadline would not work out well. Maybe a few more postings, but we all know how busy Graig must have been.

In regards to having another raffle, it is all up to Graig, he knows whenever he needs me, I will be there. But he has a lot on his table right now, as do I.

If I were to be lucky enough to win such a raffle, the only thing I'd sweat would be the pressure of choosing the one image I'd most want painted.

Graig - that's incredible! I almost expect the bat to land. So realistic!

Proud to have you as a fellow member.


I hope that some day, I'll have one of your works to hang in my Baseball Room.


Thank you so very much for sharing the details of the process...very enlightening.
