My pic went from #1 to #3 on your list, in one post or Graig's. Graig, Keep up the good work. We need more posts! Best, Mark |
I have a question,
which subject have you painted most, babe ruth? how many paintings have you done with ruth in them? just curious? |
Hey Travis,
Babe is definitely the winner in this category. In terms of finished pieces with Ruth as the main subject, or as part of a group, I've done 15 of the big guy. Gehrig is a bit behind, appearing in 11 finished pieces. However, in terms of unfinished ones, I have at least another 4 Ruth's and 3 Gehrigs. For the most part, there aren't many ballplayers who are close in terms of total numbers. I'm desperately trying to make it a bit of a more even fight, though! Graig |
Graig,
That's great. Have you ever painted the same image twice or have requests for it. i.e. famous photos, babe ruth leaning on bat, cobb sliding into third, etc.? |
Hey Travis,
I generally don't paint the same image twice, as I want each owner to have one-of-one pieces. However, there have been one or two times in which an original has been badly damaged, and then the painting has been recreated. Also, in one particular instance, I did have a client who wanted an image that I had already painted years before, and while I originally said 'no', the owner of the first painting caught wind of it, and REALLY wanted me to do the new one for the fella. In all of those instances, I do make sure that if nothing else, the size of the canvas is different so as to not confuse it with the other version. But either way, it's not something I'm a fan of doing. Graig |
Hey all,
Here's a final update before the National - which I'm excited as all heck to be going to again!! A few overlooked ballplayers, and one legend. The color correction might not be perfect yet, but it's close! http://i19.photobucket.com/albums/b1...ne_22_1939.jpg Babe Dahlgren, June 22, 1939, 9" x 12" http://i19.photobucket.com/albums/b1...Dugan_1926.jpg Joe Dugan, 1926, 9" x 12" http://i19.photobucket.com/albums/b1...ehrig_1938.jpg Lou Gehrig, 1928, 9" x 12" Hope y'all dig 'em. Any kind of comment is always appreciated! Graig |

They are not all that horrible, Graig ;)
Of course they're amazing.... A quick question on the Gehrig... Is that a famous image of Gehrig? I know some of your paintings are based on well known images, and some are far more obscure. The reason I ask is that I just picked up a cool life-size bronze bust of Lou, and it appears to match that image to a tee. Perhaps its just a similar pose, but I am thinking the sculptor may have used the same image as you did for your painting. Thanks and great stuff! Mark |
