The scenes from the day that Gehrig broke his streak have always had a place in my heart.

Being friends with Matt Dahlgren (his grandson) for so long, I've really come to appreciate the whole scenario from a different perspective. I can't imagine what it must have been like to be called upon to fill the shoes of one's idol. I can't wait to get some paintings done of that great man as well.

Anywho, this one's got a LONG way to go, but I thought Gehrig's face is starting to come together. Now I just need to block everything else in! Hopefully the client approves...

Oh, and also, VERY many thanks go out to a kind and generous man, who was nice enough to let me borrow the Matty painting to be re-photographed by my normal guys in the city. The guy I used before did an alright job, but I was never thrilled about the work. Now, I am MUCH happier with these results, as this scan is more true to the original painting.



Again, thank you SO much jacksons!

Hope you all enjoy. And aren't sick of these posts.
Graig....your work is great...but especially this Matty...wow! chris

Hey all!!

I hope everyone is having a great holiday season thus far. I just picked these two up from the photographers, and I thought I'd share 'em.

The first is the complete 11"x14" Grover Cleveland Alexander painting from that lovely 1928 Conlon photo. This bad boy is going to a board member and should be out in the mail later today or tomorrow. Gotta love how weathered that man's face was!!!

And the second image is...well...the object of my father's pain. I don't think my father has a more rueful memory from his childhood, to be honest. If you're a Yankee fan from that era, I'm sure you'll know what I'm talking about. Anywho, it's pretty large at 38"x60", and man, I'm glad it's out of the studio and on its way to Pittsburgh. Be gone!!

Comments/critiques/rotten tomatoes are always welcomed!!

Thanks for reading,

Graig

I watched this game as a ten year old on our old Magnavox. I remember Maz's swing, the flight of the ball and Berra's hangdog look like it was yesterday. The world was black and white then.

Graig, now that the bad memory is finally gone from the studio perhaps Dad will better appreciate a team that defeated those boys from Pittsburgh some 33 years earlier.

I think it's fair to say that he's going to love that painting MUCH more...

Here's what's on the easel right now, and 'yes', it's pretty darn weird.

This was a commission from a guy who's friend owns an original authentic Wagner. Why he wanted a painting of his friend's card, I'll never know. He didn't necessarily want me to do my interpretation of the card, but rather a trompe l'oeil of sorts.

In actuality, I'm enjoying the project. It's about halfway through now, and trying to duplicate the moiré pattern of the lithograph should be a challenge. It's an odd size at 5.5"x10", and as usual, please excuse the crummy photography...

Comments and critiques are always welcome!

Graig

Saw Graig last night at the Baseball Assistance Team (B.A.T.) dinner in NYC and was lucky enough to have won this Mantle painting during their Silent Auction.

I tried to get in front of Strawberry to show him the painting Graig did of him on my iPhone, but he was mobbed before I had a chance.

More ballplayers should get an opportunity to see how he represents them on canvas.
