Paintings of baseball players I guess should capture the player in my mind. I see no other meaning in these paintingsJust my 2 cents.
Any for the record.. I didn't say I loved the Conlon painting, it is one of the ones I liked best.

1) I didn't say "mix things up", I said I like it to be mixed. I don't always like full realism. I like it toned down a bit.
2) Perez's paintings you can tell it is Ruth when it is meant to be. If you can't see the artistic talent in Perez's paintings because they aren't photo real then I am sorry you can't appreciate them.
3) How did this post get into a critique of Perez's artistic talents? I posted a pickup that I was proud of and asked if anyone else picked one up. How does any of the negative (or quasi-negative) posts pertaining to the artist help this keep the original spirit of that original post?
