Oh my god. Now there's art!

Thank you! Like you he can't make enough to be strictly an artist so he is a cowboy by day and an artist by night. Unfortunately people never realize the sheer number of hours that go into a portrait so never want to pay what they are worth!

Oh yummm! Tights!!! :p:lol::facepalm: Sorry hon! :laugh:


Oooooooo! Me likey! ^^^^^

I thought I had shared some of Dave's work... guess my old timers is kicking in again! Look for at least one heart in each of his pictures, it is there somewhere. I'll give you a hint on "We Three Kings" it says I heart you on the center horse...

Yeah, I get that completely.
I routinely put 12 hours in to something simple and I'm simply nowhere near the calibre of artist your son is so I can only imagine the time he spends on each one. The detail is truly phenomenal Balwin, he has my admiration.

    Aww, think my coil just died.
    Making my RY4 taste like death.. time to change.
    Ran a few weeks at least this time.
    What do you vape with anyway Welsh?
    We've never chatted about that yet :)

    Oh, you did! And I went in and looked at some of his stuff when I was supposed to be looking at tea things :oops:

    Maybe when you feel comfortable you could share that link with Welsh? I'm sure he would enjoy seeing more of your son's work :)

    I think I have 5X7 Christmas cards of "We Three Kings" that are suitable for framing. I will send you one. It is my second favorite picture. My favorite is called "The Offering" and I own the original of that one. It is my granddaughter Grace feeding flowers to a draft horse in harness in front of the church at Swede Creek Kansas which would be the original church my hubby's family went to when they came to the US... It is a compilation of memories of Dave's (Grace has never been to Swede Creek)

    You're right, we haven't :laugh:

    Right now I'm using an MVP v2 with an iclear 30 and have a Vision spinner and protank 2 as a backup.

    I have not seen one here. I generally put some ham slices in with my scalloped potatoes so give them some extra flavor :drool: I'm going to put the rest of the ham in a crock pot, I think, to warm it up. Maybe some brown sugar and a bit of pineapple in with the ham.

    I make a whole roaster of scalloped potatoes. I LOVE having them leftover. My very favorite food EVER! They are definitely not waist friendly. I even sprinkle cheddar cheese on the layers. ;)
    YUM!!

    Remember the 'seeing' ghost talk? I think that's where she's at on that old thread. It started out with collecting rocks and Dale likes old strange looking coins...
    Oh, that's right. I remember now.

    Yes dear, she's finishing up the old thread in her spare time :)
    ;)

    Borrowed this from Rat2 ! :laugh:

    Yes, Rita is "over" all this snow too! :laugh:

    Good morning Lori! On thanksgiving weekend I went bar hopping in my hometown and woke up with the worst hangover of my life :( I've said it a million times that I'm never drinking again but I think I really mean it this time lol

    Tonight will be the real test, I'm hanging out with both of my brother and 20 of my cousins.

    Ok, I may have missed that one. Good luck with that tonight. :lol:

    Morning everyone! I slept for nearly 12 hrs :)
    And my holiday name is Happy Sparkley-Toes! Hehehe! Thanks GG!
    Soooooooo happy you finally got a good night's sleep!!!!

    There is indeed Lori, not a city I get to visit often but a nice one. Cardiff is the hub of Wales.

    Had no idea Swansea was also Illinois! I'm going to wiki!. Fun and learning, I'll say it again, I love this thread!

    For everyone else morning!
    Hope you're all having a good day so far.

    Illinois also has Cardiff, which is N of us, as well as Cambria which is S. (I've never been to or heard of either, so news to me too. :lol:) But that's what early immigrants did here. Where ever they settled, they would name the city or village after beloved areas from their homeland.

    Since I haven't shared one with you, I will add one of my son Dave's pics... aw heck it's Christmas time, I'll make it two!

    I love it when artists do that. Hide something in their work.

    Ah, is that MVP v2 one of those "box" looking things?

    I use eGo's and ZMax'es mostly, and have a KTS Chim gave me :) I love that thing!
    Oh, and Pro-tank style tanks for the most part ... the newer one's where you can use your own Drip Tips.
    I'm a bit of a Drip Tip nut :facepalm:

    Man, he's just.. brilliant. Any animal is impossible to me :laugh:.

    I'd like to ask a favor if I may Balwin, my grandfather loves horses and I've never been able to get any accuracy or convey anything emotive in sketches of them, your son does that so well. Do you think I could get a tip or two?

    That's the one Dale, great battery life until I'm ready to move in to mech mods one day. I don't get along with my protank, which is why it's relegated to backup :D

    Hang on and I will get you his facebook. Do you do facebook? I should ask that first I suppose! If you like I can send you a card as well, I can leave it blank for your grandfather but you can give it to him. They are quite nice when matted and framed.

    Facebook, I do. Thank you so much!.
    I don't know what to say, a lovely gesture. My grandfather and I, both, would love that so much. Thank you.
