Thanks a lot for taking the time to comment, guys, I really appreciate it. And of course, your kind words are also really wonderful.

Jay, I couldn't have done it without ya!

Scott, I'm glad you like it so much. Did you receive Vandy yet? If so, what's the verdict?

Mark, that's quite a compliment. That's definitely the kind of effect I was going for. Or, trying to go for. I think in this case, the pose really helped - it has such a classic feel to it.

Ben, thank you so much!

Travis, time it takes to do these paintings vary from piece to piece. The smaller 16" x 20" player portraits only take a few weeks, though the larger, more detailed images usually take a month or in some cases, many. It all depends on how complicated of an image it is as it relates to research, elbow grease and anything else you can think of. Right now, I'd say that I'm consistently averaging about 20 paintings of varying sizes per year - though it's probably even more than that.

99% of the paintings I seem to do are sports related, with about 95% of them being baseball related. I've done a few football pieces here and there, as well as a golf painting, but I have yet to tackle boxing. Hopefully I will soon!

Thanks again, everybody.

Thank you, Andrew!! I appreciate it. And if you do get something, should I assume it'll be of a certain New York/California/Houston/Texas pitcher?

boxing is a good challenge because if it is an "in the ring" action painting, the muscle tenseness, striation, face contortions would be awesome because two guys fighting for their lives, lots of stuff going on.

i am a joe louis fan, that would be my first choice.

That Joe Wood painting is incredible! One of my favorites. I always love the action shot at a ballpark in the 40s/50s with all of the colorful advertising around the park.

But, that Joe Wood is just so lifelike. The string on his jersey looks so real to me I can't stop staring at it.

Wonderful work! I would love to add a piece to my collection some day.

Great Job Graig.
