NOTE: After the first 200 entries are reserved, we will continue taking entry requests in case some are unpaid/forfeited. If response is so overwhelming that 400 requests are reached, Graig has agreed to do a second painting so as two winners may be achieved. In that event, numbers will be assigned to the second group of 200 entrants as above and separate event selected for determining the winning number of the second event.
STIPULATIONS: Graig Kreindler does reserves the right of final word, as to content of the subject matter, of the paintings requested. Also, Graig wanted to let everyone know that 16 x 20 paintings are used mainly for head and upper body portraits,( like Conlon Portraits), and smaller full figures. The 16 x 20 paintings cannot be used for complex action shots or panoramics and still maintain the level of detail and quality that Graig creates. So please, don't expect a painting like Gehrig's farewell with everyone one the field. Thank You.
GOOD LUCK TO ALL
