LAST CALL:

ENDING DATE AND TIME: Sun. Nov 9th at 8PM Eastern

PAYMENTS DUE BY: Monday Nov 17th

DRAWING DATE: If all paid by due date, we will choose an event for the following weekend, either Sat the 22nd or Sun the 23rd, to determine the winner (event to be announced)



The final deadline to reserve entries for the raffle is November 9th at 8 PM Eastern. As you may have noted, sales of the second half of the available entries have slowed to a crawl, and the raffle shows serious signs of not selling out. Graig has decided that, regardless of whether the raffle sells through, there will be a winner of the full 20x28 painting originally announced. Please be aware though that if the raffle does not sell through (meaning Graig winds up cutting his rates substantially for this painting), this may be the last time he offers his work via raffle. No doubt Graig has a heart bigger than Yankee Stadium, and he is not doing this for the money, but he's still got to eat! So when I say this is your final chance to enter a raffle for a customized Graig Kreindler painting, it may be just that.

Good luck to all.

Bill, Lance and Graig

I think, without question, Graig is the best artist of this genre, EVER! No artist that I have come across has captured the essence the way he does.

Perez does a decent job with the likenesses, but his watercolors have no depth and life to them. IMHO.

Neiman has great painting style, very colorful and vibrant, but all the subjects feel the same to me. Jordan and Ruth have the same feel to them. Same color palette and style.

Simon, Miller, and many other contemporary guys do nice jobs on likenesses, but, I just don't feel that depth of emotion, that I do with Graig's work.

The best way I can describe Graig's work is the he takes a flat 2 dimensional image and breathes life into them. Even with color images, like the Aaron the last winner had done. It is an incredible image to start with and yet somehow, he waved his magic brushes and Hank came alive on the canvas.

OK. Now that I am done waxing poetic about his talent, I convinced myself to buy 2 more entries. That will bring me to seven total.
I'll send payment later tonight.

Remember, no one tells anyone's wife. Right?

Edit:
Like Scott, I had one done, but a 16x20 of Gehrig, of course.
I can't wait to pick out my subject for the next one.

I couldn't agree more with what Mark V and Scott G have recently posted. I would be ecstatic to own and enjoy a work by Graig and see this clearly as a unique chance. Got to step it up....I will take one more chance pls Bill....rounding mine out to an even 10 total. 3 initially paid for and payment for 7 coming shortly

Thanks Bill and Graig for this opportunity!

[billyb]
