4 Days to go.

What we have done in the past is show some of the photos we would love to have painted.

I am curious, who would be the most popular subject to paint. Many I know would love to own a Gehrig or a Christy, Ruth or Cobb.

Are they still the favorites.

It would be interesting to know who would be the most popular.

So who is your favorites. I know it would be hard to choose just one, so Choose three sport figures you would like to see on canvas hanging up in your mancave.


For me, my top three would be;

Kaline
Greenberg
Probert (hockey, adding something different)

Bonds. Barry Bonds.

Not for nothing Rob, but I'd LOVE to paint Barry.

If I hit this lottery I will be doing a Giant as well.
I am leaning toward John McGraw,
With Bresnahan, Mathewson, and Posey as a possible.

^^^^^^^ That's a wonderful image ^^^^^^^

Can something like that be done in 16" X 20"?

Glad I popped in to see this. I'll be in for a few chances for sure.

Two questions:

•What if say 270 chances are sold? Would each $20 entry get three numbers (270x3=810) with the remaining numbers (811 & up) deleated?

•Also, what if 250 chances are not sold? Will there still be a smaller painting done, say 9" x12", or will everyone's money be refunded?

[GKreindler]

Paul, I'll let Bill handle those questions. Though I think that if the 250 number isn't reached, the event won't go through. And since no money is to be exchanged until the number is reached, no refunds would be necessary.

Mark, agreed - a great image. It would definitely have to be larger than 16" x 20", though. With a full body, people in the dugout and some of those stands, it would have to be at the minimum around 20" x 28". 24" x 34" would probably be pretty perfect.

Paul,
On the first question, we will try to get it as close as possible to an even division of 1000 to minimize the number of unclaimed numbers (ie 250, 333, 500), but yes, if 270 entries are sold, numbers 811 through 999 and 000 would all be voided. With that many voided entries, the likelihood of having to select multiple games to find a winner goes up, but it still works out even if it takes multiple games.

If the total doesn't reach 250, as Graig said, the event doesn't happen, no money is sent, Graig continues working on other commission work that actually pays the bills, and the rest of us go home for a good cry.
