Well,
They aren't in hand, but are in the mail on their way.

Nos 61 and 62 out of 96 from my set.



Graig,
I've looked at your site and am humbled at your talent. I truly believe we all have some special gift and without question yours is holding a brush in your hands.
I think I can say I have not seen a portrait painted anywhere which is so alive and vibrant as that Mathewson. It's like he's standing there in his prime. Breathtaking.
I am acquainted with a few painters and have a general idea of the time and energy that goes into a painting like that. I'm pretty sure it's out of my league, price wise, at this point. I would love to have the money to get one like that of Lou Gehrig.
Have you considered doing prints/Lithos? I may not have thousands to spend on an original, but i'd be hard pressed not to spend $50-200 on a quality poster/print of that painting and a few others on your site.
How about a print pack for the Net54 crowd? You could make a card set? Something else for everyone to collect.

Mark
