Hey all,
It's been a busy couple of months since I posted last. I have a couple of larger pieces to get up on here, which I will do soon, but first I thought I'd start with all of these color studies:
Harry Wright, 1874
Christy Mathewson, 1900
Christy Mathewson, 1908
Ty Cobb, 1913
Honus Wagner, 1914
Babe Ruth, 1920
Babe Ruth, 1920
Lou Gehrig, 1927
Ted Williams, 1939
Jackie Robinson, 1948
Jackie Robinson, 1950
Mickey Mantle, 1956
Roberto Clemente, 1970
Derek Jeter, 2000
As I had mentioned before, all of the studies are 5" x 7" and act as preparatory work for the larger paintings. A couple of them had been commissions, and the rest were thrown up on eBay like the last batch. If any of you are interested in checking them out,
here's my seller page.
I actually really like doing these little guys a lot, as it's a nice break from the larger stuff - it ends up being a different kind of thought process that goes into each one. What's also nice is the response I've been getting for them, as people seem to really dig the fact that they can add something they really like to their collection at a reasonable price. Or at least, that's what they've been saying.
Anywho, I hope you dig 'em.
