Re: OT - Sports Paintings & Illustrations
Hey all,
Just got these back from the photographers, too:
Moe Berg, 1935
Ed Kranepool, 1963
Eddie Collins, 1909
Mickey Mantle, 1956
A motley crew/crue indeed. The Mantle is actually a redo, as the original was...ahem...lost. Not cool.
Anywho, I would love to hear any thoughts you want to throw my way. And ideally, I hope you like all four, but I'll settle for three. Actually, I'll settle for one.

Had this painted in Baghdad after we invaded it in '03. The Iraqi guy that painted it said he did a lot of family photo paintings for Saddam Hussein. This is one of the center pieces of my collection.

Ok so LaVern Brock was mentioned earlier in this thread so I thought I would share some pics from an Indians piece I commissioned for my office. I will post more pics as things progress.

How my Mantle painting is evolving, hoping to be done with it this week
Original image:
Need to make the face a lot more realistic and then will make the bat look more realistic too!

Re: OT - Sports Paintings & Illustrations
I have enough trouble affording the things I currently collect. I love art and baseball but cannot afford to indulge both. I really enjoy vintage baseball photography which is about as close as my budget lets me come to art. I do have one piece of original comic art depicting Clemente. Revolutionary comics came out with a Clemente issue in 1992. I am a huge Clemente fan so on a whim I called the company and asked if I could purchase a page. They said sure and asked me which I wanted. I purchased this splash page for $100.00. I think it was the best in the book and now wish I had bought more of them. Nonetheless it is cool to own a one of a kind item featuring the great one.

Re: OT - Sports Paintings & Illustrations
Graig,
Simply beautiful... I love the faces... the eyes are so deep...
but someone said it about a previous painting of yours... The Maris and the Ruths below... I feel like they are moving... you really capture the feel of the action... it is almost like I am there...
Beautiful workBert

Re: OT - Sports Paintings & Illustrations
Bert,
Thank you SO much for your kind words. If you feel like you're actually in the Stadium and all, then I definitely feel like I've done my job (no matter how much my gut tells me otherwise).
I'm so glad you're enjoying it all!
