Whoops, I've been neglecting this thread for a little bit. Thank you ALL for such nice words about the last two. I'm really happy with both of them, and I'm certainly hoping the clients feel the same way.
And in regards to Mo, jacksons, as soon as you mentioned Buhner, all I could conjure up were his titanic homers off of the Yankees. I still can't get over how good those mid-late '90s Seattle teams were. They used to give me nightmares.
Here are two more I just got back from the photographers:
Smoky Joe Wood, 1909, 16" x 20
Bob Feller, July 31, 1946, 28" x 30"
The Feller is actually an oldie, but I had to change a few colors on the billboard, as I discovered they were wrong after the fact. I hate when that happens!!
Smoky Joe was an interesting painting to try and tackle indeed. I think in the end, what I was going for was a painting that showed what Horner saw in his viewfinder before he snapped the shot. So, in other words, Wood needs to be breathing and that beautiful north light has to be hitting his flesh and jersey just right. I hope I was successful.
Anywho, I hope y'all dig 'em!
