To my eye, much as Graig's style really lends itself to an aesthetic that is more typical of pre-westward movement baseball, the beginnings of your own style evoke post-war modernism. That may be why I am much more taken by the Koufax, with its reflection of his sleek and efficient power, then the Robinson, which seeks to capture a moment of rough-and-tumble grit. I recommend you look to develop that style, and look to create images that work with it. (I can easily imagine older players working with it as well -- Williams and DiMaggio being obvious choices.)

Thank you! I really have come a long way from my first paintings, have learned a lot about painting in the time since as well. I do a lot of modern work and my style definitely reflects that. There are some really nice images I have already got that will help me with my style of some of the legends. Thank you very much for your insightful input here!
