No joke on Paul's ceramic works. At least 8 people got Christmas gifts made by him, from the wife & I. We were very happy to pick pieces to fit each person taste. Very good at it he is.
Thanks for the compliments on the van, it was a ton of work yet, isn't complete. There will be lettering(proly bright white) on the dark blue. It's all measured out for the lettering. Tried to cover all the high wear areas with the bed liner material. It's really close to linex or as close as I could find to spray on myself. Even coated the whole underside of the chassis since we are the rust belt here.
My aunt Margaret Meyers(rip) was a pro oil painter. She made some really extreme murals. Remember one nearly 9' tall inside a building. I'd buy up all the old saw blades ect I could find for her & thought it a major treat when she gave any back with her work on it.
I can sketch, draw, write in calligraphy, airbrush a bit but not a pro at any of it. I never was any good with oil painting scenes. Waco, you & your wife's painting is very nice & much better than my attempts ever reached. Thanks for sharing!
Over the holidays I was spending quite a lot of time out in the shop doing bullet casting and reloading chores. One day the wife said she wanted to spend the afternoon with me doing something she wanted to do. My wife is an artist. She wanted us to do a painting together. I thought what the heck this might be fun. So out came the oil paints and the canvas and the brushes and we found a cool Bob Ross instructional video and we did a painting together! I have to say it was a lot more fun than I thought it would be and I would be more than happy to do another one with her sometime in the future. I can always talk her into going out on the hill for some trigger time so I figure turnabout is fair play. You know the old saying, happy wife happy life.
