On the easel...

[GKreindler]

Hey guys,

Just thought I'd share what's on the easel these days, for those of you who care of course!

The first couple of paintings are all commissions that are a bit overdue, especially the one of David Tyree (Sorry, Akshay). Though, there are a few of the smaller 9"x12"s that are just being done with no specific owner in mind. And none of these paintings are finished, so I got a lot to do!


David Tyree, February 3, 2008 (Super Bowl XLII)


Babe Ruth, June 25, 1920


Cincinnati Reds, October 21, 1976 (Game 4, WS)


Joe DiMaggio, Fiorello LaGuardia, Lou Gehrig, October 5, 1938 (Game 1, WS)


Willie Mays, 1954


Willie Keeler, 1912


George W. Case, July 11, 1939


Richie Ashburn, March, 1956


Babe Ruth, 1928

Anywho, excuse the photography (which is worse than usual) and (hopefully) enjoy 'em!

Graig, these are fantastic, thanks for sharing them with us.

Thanks a lot, Jay!!!

Graig,
Though I am partial to all things Gehrig, I gotta say that Ruth looks great. Those wide action shots look so visually stunning. This along with the Wagner and Cobb are some fantastic paintings. I can only image how stunning and vibrant they must be in person.

The Tyree is also spectacular. It looks so realistic...It's amazing.

(Spoken under breath- Damn! I gotta start saving for another one of these.)

Graig, Holy sh*t is that Reds World Series amazing. My wife is convinced that it's a photo.

I am in awe of that one as well. The pre-war paintings are incredible, but the Reds painting is nothing short of hypnotizing. Perhaps the greatest line-up of all-time (and the greatest portrayal of it, to boot!)

Thanks so much, guys. I'm thrilled you all dig them!

That Reds team was really something else - I wish I got to see them. My father was at one or both of the games at the Stadium, and he said that the Yankees just never had a chance. That Cincy line-up was SO deep!

Painting it was fun too, as each of them have such unique facial characteristics. Foster looks like an absolute madman. As does Rose. But yeah, hopefully the resemblances are what they should be.

Once I get it properly photographed, I'll certainly post it.
