I assume since it is of the Santa Clara that was probably most dominant teams?

1923-24 Santa Clara

The moment last night when I noticed a 2025 acquired Graig Kreindler painting in an 11 year old post. Just another case of someone getting "The Kreindler Goosebumps" and loving every moment of it.

Hey all,

Thanks so much for all of the love in this thread over the past month or so.

It's been a while since I've posted, as things have been pretty darn busy around here. I've been doing my best to finish up some older stuff that's owed to VERY patient clients (I'm looking at you, Brian and Phil), and am finally starting to see some light. So, I've been pretty lax on getting back to this thread. Over the next few weeks, that should change, as I have a good amount of stuff I'm bringing to the photographers.

Either way, I'm glad to be finally getting some of these paintings out of the studio so I can make room...for more paintings. I guess I'm feeling more and more like Sisyphus these days.

Here's a fun example:

There gets to be less and less room for my clothing, which, I guess as I work more and more in the studio, becomes more and more splattered in oil paint. Whoops.

Anywho, I'm done rambling. As per usual, comments/crits/questions are always appreciated.

Thanks!

Graig

Amazing job Graig

Agreed!

Thank you for all of the kind words, everybody!! So very much appreciated.

Here's one I finished recently that should be arriving in my client's hands tomorrow (Monday):

https://hosting.photobucket.com/9940...080&fit=bounds
Rube Waddell, (ca) 1904, 32" x 22"

I'm super glad to have this out of the studio, as it had been sitting here for quite some time. It was actually really close to completion, but because of an influx of larger canvases, somehow this one ended up getting hidden behind a few, and I lost track of it. Woof.

Anywho, it was an enjoyable one to paint, though pretty complicated. Rube himself wasn't too bad, though there were a few spots in his uniform that proved to be a bit complicated, what with all of the wrinkles and what-not. And then the fence with all of the knots! And the ground with the grass, wooden planks and dirt!!! Oh, my. Just a ton of different textures and eye-candy. But in the end, I think the painting is successful and am hoping the client agrees.

For what it's worth, I have *NO* idea where the original photograph was taken. It doesn't seem like a big league ballpark considering the fence and condition of the ground, but I'm of course not 100% on that. Also, I'm not 100% on the year either, as it's a general guess from the jersey and belt style (check out those long sleeves withOUT the button attachments). His face also seems to be a bit on the younger side, I think? But certainly, if anybody has any information they're willing to share, I'd love to hear about it!

Also, I thought I'd share a few shots of some other stuff I've been working on as of late, all of which are in varying states of completion:

The painting of Mantle is after his MONSTER home run during spring training of '51, against the Trojans at Bovard Field in southern California. It's *almost" there. Super close. Same can be said with the Earle Combs piece and the larger Ruth painting behind it (the other Ruth behind THAT needs more help). And the Warren cabinet of George Wright! Another one that's getting there. So incredibly honored to be so busy though, not matter how stressed out I might be.

Also also, here's an interview I did with PJ Kinsella and the good folks at REA a few months back:

If any of y'all have comments, critiques or questions, fire away! Hope ya dig it all.

Thanks for reading,

Graig

The fence looks like the one in the background of T3 subjects Carrigan and Graham, who both played for Boston, and since they were in different leagues, my guess would be that would be their intersection.

I don't mean to be the one to tell you this Craig...but, I think you are getting better!!

Who wudda thunk it?

Simply AMAZIN'

Graig that Rube is amazing
I sure your client will stare at it everyday
