Show me how you have your Graig Kreindler painting displayed

[Ladder7]

Although I doubt it was Scott's intention in starting this thread... Showing stuff off here is what makes this blah hobby sizzle. But you have to agree Sully, this forum would really suck without pictures, all that would be left is a few knuckleheads that think cussing someone out on the internet makes them look like a hardass, when we all know it's just another way of seeking attention.

Man, the way Graig transitioned the sunlight from the shade of dugout roof and reflected it off Vandermeer's spike is true eye candy. Great stuff Scott -Steve F

SHOW MORE STUFF DAMNIT

Scott,
Congrats on a beautiful painting.
As many here I too enjoy a Kreindler masterpiece in my home.

I debated the frame to not frame issue when I first got mine as well.
I think there are two parts to the choice. First is the picture itself as Max went into in detail.
The other is where/how you're going to hang it. If it's by itself, then only nature of the picture should really matter. If it is surrounded by other framed works, it might look better matching the surrounding items.

At the time, I did ask Graig about framing. He referred me to Dean(his agent) for a recommendation. I never followed up because the spot it rests in now is only temporary until we finish the basement (hopefully this year)

Currently mine is unframed and looks fantastic. It is hard for me to believe that a frame could make it look any better than it does.

For those interested.

BTW, I just reread that thread. In post 9 Graig addresses the question about framing.

Gee, I hope this doesn't make me a whore. I've always thought of myself as more of a private escort.

great paintings! I normally prefer the landscape kreindler paintings. however the greens on that gehrig are pretty fantastic mark!

[Lordstan]

Sean,
Thanks.
I think they're all great. I have yet to see a bad Kreindler.
BTW, When is that Hal Chase getting done?

Thanks Mark!
I appreciate you checking in and providing your thoughts and the link to the thread when you received your Lou Gehrig painting. I actually read this when you first posted it, but had forgotten about its existence.

I agree with Randall that I love the pictures of you receiving and unwrapping Lou. It's just like Christmas Day as a kid!! Awesome!!
BTW, I've always preferred the term "private escort" as well...

Geez, with all these private escorts around I feel like I'm in Vegas! By the way, FWIW, I like how paintings look both framed and un-framed but I think it really depends on where it is in the house, what other things are on the wall around it, color of the walls, etc. Anyway, I don't think you can go wrong doing either.

I love it... I doubt that dude would ever agree to meet anyone in person and talk like that. Many of us will be at the National though if I am wrong

I'll be at the National and eager to meet anyone that is willing.

Will do.

Mark, I love the way you took pictures of the paintings arrival. LOL I did the same thing when I bought my guitars. As I have no children and Gibson and Martin guitars are expensive, I took photos like yours when they arrived and at different stages of unwrapping. Like the birth of a child LOL.

I am very proud to own a few Kreindlers, and not shy about sharing, either.

When I pull these paintings from the shipped boxes, I don't give much thought initially to the frame/not to frame question. My preference, instead, is to hang 'em up somewhere where I know I will see them with some regularity, and then, with the Mrs.'s permission and much due diligence, frame those I decide to frame.

I really don't put much thought into it. Hanging "naked" on the canvas, as they are, suits me just fine. A silver/gold mat/frame on the Mathewson I think helps accentuate those same tones in the jersey. But again, it would look just as good "naked".

Oh, and I never consider anything I post here to be "showing off", but rather, sharing what I own with those that would appreciate it. If you don't appreciate it, then you shouldn't be on this board.

Here are some examples:

(no idea why some of these are showing up rotated..)

I'd leave it unframed. IMO unframed draws complete attention to the painting. Pure raw beauty. His stuff rocks! Enjoy. BB

Great stuff, jacksons! Thanks for sharing.

Jacksons,

Many thanks for your thoughts and pictures of your terrific Kreindler trio of paintings- wow!

I must say that I like the way that they look both framed and unframed. I do think that the Matty looks spectacular framed on your cherry wood wall. The unframed paintings look terrific as well. Congrats!

The finish work in the room that these hang is fantastic. You have great taste.

The frame on the Mathewson is brilliant. I love it.
