Hey everyone,
Hope you're all having a great start to 2019. Things on my end continue to be busy in almost every regard. My kids are certainly keeping my head on a swivel, and with Jonah (my youngest) finally starting to walk and become more vocal, I imagine it's only going to get more intense. With them being in daycare part-time, if I can get 20 hours of work/painting done in a week, then it's a reeeaaallllyy good one. However, I'm doing my best to press onward, and in the past few months, have finished these guys: Christy Mathewson, 1912, 20" x 26" Leopardos de Santa Clara, 1923, 30" x 48" The Leopardos painting was a real toughie (though admittedly, not as life-sucking as the '27 Yankees canvas). I had been doing all of those color studies for Jay and his Negro Leagues project, but this one was for a different client and was a nice opportunity to do a fully realized piece on such a similar subject. I'm hoping that I get to paint more of the Negro ad Cuban Leaguers like this, as it was a real honor to paint this club. In my mind, these guys are just as interwoven into the fabric of the game as much as the players in the white leagues. I just hope I did them justice. Speaking of the Negro League stuff I'd been doing to Jay, I don't know if I posted these here (and if I did, I apologize), but he released a set of postcards commemorating a centennial team of players (who were voted on by visitors to the website and Facebook page). The result was a 34-card set that looks pretty darn good, methinks. If anyone wants to learn more about it, check out the below link: https://negroleagueshistory.com/shop...-postcard-set/ Anywho, as always, thanks for checking out the thread. If you have any comments, critiques or questions, feel free to post. Hope y'all dig 'em! Graig

As always, they are great, Graig!
That team photo is really something. I always love the details present in the painting, from the wrinkles in the jerseys to the car behind the players, to the roof in the background beyond the fence. Outstanding! |

Thanks so much, guys!! It really was a lot of fun to work on, and in the end, I'm super thrilled that I was able to do it. The scan, though great, doesn't quite do it justice - seeing it in person is the way to be.
Jay, definitely months. Many months.
