I LOVE that shot of Maris, always have. They're a few other ones taken of him that were probably from that same day, and they'd be equally as fun to paint.
Luckily, I don't know the expenses brought on by having kids, well at least, not yet...but man, this whole rent thing is VERY overrated. It's like a quick punch to the gut at the end of every month.
Anywho, here are three other small guys I've been working on (when I need breaks from the bigger canvases):
Mickey Mantle, 1951, 9" x 12"
Ernie Banks, 1955, 11" x 14"
Derek Jeter, 2000, 11" x 14"
DJ's closest to being finished, but they all have a ways to go before I can call it a day...
Hope y'all enjoy!
