Color studies now available on eBay!

GKreindler

Hey all,

First off, I just wanted to mention how grateful I am for all of the love you fellas have thrown my way about my artwork over the years. It's really meant so much to me to have people who really dig what I do and appreciate it on the level that you're all on in terms of your love of the game's history - it just drives me more than you could imagine.

Anywho, over the past few months, I've been really trying to change the way my agent and I do business. For one thing, we've been doing our best to navigate the murky waters of making and selling reproductions (which continues to be quite the task on every level). The hope was that we can start to offer artworks, be they originals or not, at multiple price points. Additionally, we've trying to make my paintings as easy to obtain as possible, be it through redesigning stuff on my website, or just looking for alternate ways of reaching a wider audience.

With that in mind, I'm happy to say that for the foreseeable future, I'm going to be offering my color studies on eBay. For those of you who don't know what those are, well, they're part of the preparatory work that I do for my larger portrait paintings. They're pretty small at 5" x 7", and are done on linen which is mounted to board. In essence, they're a way for me to 'draft' out a work before I want to make my jump to a final canvas. These studies end up being a bit more painterly and expressionistic than my finished works, but in the faces, that's really where the majority of the real detail work goes.

Here are some examples:


Honus Wagner, 1902


Christy Mathewson, 1912


Babe Ruth, 1919


Lou Gehrig, 1925


Lou Gehrig, 1936


Ted Williams, 1939

All of these were sold over the past few months, but I do have a few left (which I listed on eBay last weekend). So, right now, if you want to own any of my originals, this is the least expensive option, and most likely will continue to be so for a while. I'll be placing them on eBay as I finish them, so if that prospect interests ya, check back often.

Those paintings look incredible Graig. What other subjects are you planning on painting?

GKreindler

Thank you so much for your kind words, everybody!

Steve, did the Ruth arrive without incident? It's the first time I've sent them in the box along with the envelope.

Great work as always! You need to start doing football. Gary Thomas of Goal Line Art will eventually retire. Also, is your website still working. I couldn't log on last week.

cardbender

Those are beautiful.

GKreindler

Thanks so much, everyone!!

I actually have done some football, JMDVM, though mostly newer stuff:







Also, I think my website should be working fine now - you couldn't get onto it before?

I think that I am speaking for all New England Patriots fans when I say that those are three beautiful paintings representing one very tragic moment in NFL history.
