Thanks for the kind words, fellas!
Mark, in response to your questions: 1) In my files, I actually have a few photos of the top of both dugouts from the '32 World Series, where it shows the flags in better view. They weren't traditional American flags either, but ones with just three horizontal stripes (like the German flag) in red, white and blue. Here's a shot of Babe and Lou from the actual game itself, and it shows what I'm talking about (albeit in black and white):  (PS: This would also make a killer painting, especially with the fella doffing his hat.) 2) The fedora guy is definitely going to be in there. Since he's in the shadow of the dugout, I haven't really done much with him just yet. But if you look towards the end of the bats on the right, you'll notice a white and gray blob, which is his leg peering into the light. So yeah, he'll be worked on soon. Eric actually was pretty set on having some sort of action going on in the dugout, so I think that kind of played a role in his choosing of this image. Thanks for chiming in! Graig

As others have mentioned here, thanks for all these details with each step. I, like others, didn't realize how in depth the process was for a painting like this until I started reading the "on the easel" thread and the progress on John's Aaron painting and now mine. It's a real privilege to see the progression, especially knowing where it will end up. 😀

The photo of the red, white and blue stripes on the dugout is such a cool fact to build into making this painting even more authentic....

I have an original of that photo. It was taken from Game 1 of the WS.
It's not in the greatest of shape, but hey, it's Lou and Babe, so I'm not complaining. Graig puts an incredible amount of work into the details. That's a big reason why I think his paintings come to life the way they do.

Graig, very interesting thread and confirmation in my mind that you paint like an old master in technique as well as result.
Good job staying away from "montages" as I find them cheesy no matter how well painted. It works fine for a 1956 bsseball card but I wouldn't want one on my wall. If someone wants an action shot and a portrait he'd be best served commissioning two paintings.

Thank you for your enthusiasm, everybody! Who's excited?
<---- This guy!!! Howard, I agree. And that's happened on occasion. There was one fella who wanted a painting with Wrigley Field and Ernie Banks in it, but not so much of an action shot - more along the lines of what you were describing. It took a while, but I had to convince him to go with two separate canvases, which in turn became:   I'm super thankful he listened. These two are still two of my favorite paintings. For me, I just feel like when you start doing those other kinds of pieces, they become a LOT less about the actual artwork, and more about the player. I mean, not that that's a bad thing, but ya know, it's just not how I want my paintings to feel, if ya follow. Graig

That Banks is one of my favorite baseball images. There is something so wholesome and romantic about the relationship between the player and the kids.
Oh Yeah. The guy who painted it is pretty good too!

Great job, Graig. Far better than what the client originally asked for could have been.
