incredibly beautiful work!!!
I love that you choose the master of disaster as your photographer.
I have the Conlon Paskert,Mowrey,Moeller, and L. Tannehill and they're displayed on one of my many(thankfully) office walls.

all the best,
barry

Thank you so much, Barry!!

I'd love to see shots of those Conlons, if you have them. Especially the Tannehill.

beautiful art work thanks for sharing

Thanks for the compliments, Romeo!

This one needs another day or two, but it's almost there. Commissioned by a fellow board member, this is based off of another one of Conlon's beautiful pieces. I'm pretty sure this dates back to '25.

Graig,
Thats a KILLER chase pic! Could you paint that with a stadium surrounding?

Because of the angle, I'd probably only keep a sliver of the ballpark at the bottom of the canvas. I think the sky would just frame his head perfectly. I do have some other shots of him from a little further back though, mostly fielding first base, with much more of the ballparks showing through.

graig,
i'd love to show you but this ole dinosaur never learned to scan( barry sloate and i are the last of this pitiful breed methinks). i surely wouldn't know how to do it now since they're on the office walls!
the tannehill is the photo behind the T206 tannehill (no L);
the paskert if the photo behind the T3 paskert cincinnati;
mowrey and moeller are just beauts.
the first i won in legendary 2009; the other 3 i won in the B&L auction late this year.
again, i do love your work!!!!!!

best,
barry

well i guess my question is have you ever painted a picture and used a different background?

Barry, I've always loved that Tannehill shot. It depicts him after casually tossing the ball, right? Conlon was so amazing at capturing shots like that. Even though I love the game action shots and all, seeing the guys casually tossing before a game is really cool. It's as much a part of a game as any image could be.

Sean, I have indeed. The only problem with this image is that because of the angle of the photograph, as well as the direction of the sunlight, it would be very hard to place any deadball era ballpark in the background that wouldn't sit pretty low to the bottom of the canvas. It would probably be best to find another Chase shot if you wanted to see more of the ballpark backdrop. Then again, I could just extend his body down to the knees, and you could see more that way...

cool! well there ya go! Looking forward to seeing that chase! lol
