Kreindler raffle info, pg 8, post #79, this thread

I am interested, but does it have to be baseball? Will he consider other sports ie. track and field? I appreciate his work, but I would have no interest in a baseball theme painting.

Michael B,
I have seen other sports paintings he has done, I am sure he would be interested if it is a quality piece, some historical connection with the event, or a famous track and field athlete in motion.

Hey all,

Thank you so much for showing so much enthusiasm for this whole thing. And a BIG 'thank you' has to go to Bill and Lance for putting it all together. The whole experience has been really exciting to watch unfold thus far, and all of your responses leave me pretty darn humbled (as they always seem to do).

In the end, I hope it's a fun experience and that someone gets something that they really love and cherish to show for it. I'd definitely be up for doing this sort of thing again if there's still interest for it.

The bottom line is, you guys have always been soooooo incredibly good to me, and I'm thrilled that I can say that some of you have become real-life, true friends over the years. It sounds corny for sure, but this sort of loving community is super important to me.

And for the record Michael, I'm happy to do a track & field piece, or any other sport - the winning painting doesn't have to be baseball!

Graig- Even owning one of your studies is a honor and something I will never part with. Your paintings are hands down the best I've seen and I'm sure many others can say the same.....so with that said since I'm winning the raffle can you go ahead and get started on my hank Aaron painting...lol

[horzverti]

If I win, I'd like this one in Kreindlercolor. You're familiar with this one, right Graig?

[horzverti]

Here is one that you started a few years ago...you're welcome.

[GKreindler]

Joey, you got it. Just gotta find the right image first!

Curt, that's the one!! It was always been my favorite from my father's collection. I think my rendition exhibits some excellent crayon work.

The foul line???? If you saw my walls you would understand.

Wow, that a great idea and I hope to be in the running.

Here's me dreaming big:

[billyb]

Packs,
I have to say, one great photo there, good luck.

[yanksfan09]

I'd be in for 2 entries...

I'd want something early Babe Ruth on Yankees.

[bn2cardz]

If I were in and were to win I would want a Rogers Hornsby Cardinals uniform picture.

I would really love a picture of Hornsby tagging out Ruth in Game 7 of the 1926 World Series but I don't know of any high resolution photos that would be easy to paint from.

[kamikidEFFL]

It be very tough to pick a photo I love to have something like one of these done but I know not big enough piece to do it.

[billyb]

Kam,
I believe you are right Cam, the 16 x 20 can only fit more like a portrait, however, if one could add to the $4K value, then the next larger size is 18 x 24 and you can probably fit that great photo of Williams into that size. That would be getting the 18 x 24 at about a third of the cost. Those opportunities don't come along too often.

Good luck
