I am so glad you all are taking my art so seriously. But, really, don’t be so stuffy. Have a little fun with it. But don’t milk it to death.

You steering us away from fun? I'll calf no part of it! Cud you please leave us alone? I don't know what the veal problem with us having fun is!

The problem is........cows don’t have fingers. Come on, let’s not be silly here.

You think Cows have a problem by not having fingers! Cows never had fingers, but Steers are in real trouble. They are missing the parts that turned into Rocky Mountain Oysters. Now that is not being silly. It is a real issue if you are a steer or ox. No Bull!!! (Any more)

You, however, have a lot of Cajones, though

I took French so I wasn’t sure of the meaning of this, although living in South Florida, I had a good idea. I could picture Tony Montana saying something like that.

So I looked it up and this is what I found. And you are correct, I do have an abundance of cajones especially in the bedroom and closets.

Well, that is the official meaning......correct.
Slang, however, could be something else, entirely.
One of those words we all know, but can’t find it in the Spanish dictionary.....jajaja

Time to post another painting of something that perhaps is not a cow. Maybe a sheep or a landscape.

You took the words right out of my mouth....This is a view of the Delaware and Raritan Canal about 5 miles from my home and a place I spent many a day enjoying as a kid. Swimming, canoeing, hiking, even camping out along the towpath

@BigDub
Wow! That's pretty!~

Hi BigDub,
Whenever I'd try to do something like that, some of the numbers would bleed through.

Don’t thin the paint so much......that way you cover the numbers just fine.

@BigDub

I personally don't paint by numbers. I use braille. Interesting thing is the finished version has a lot of texture to it.

As long as you don’t do surgery that way

Great work, Wayne. Makes me want to get out my flyrod and head for a quiet little stream.

Reminds me of the old proverb; You can pick your friends, you can pick your nose, BUT, you can't pick your friends nose!! You're welcome!

I see no reason why that would be physically impossible.

A recent commission for a fellow band member. The painting is of the carriage house from 1832 of a historic home in PA. The owners of the home cannot paint it any color they want but must adhere to the historic requirements and guidelines. The town they live in is the named after the builder of the house, as well as originator of the town.

Hi BigDub,
How a person can take a flat surface and with some paint, create a scene that reminds me of up north is beyond me. When I try something like this, it ends up looking like a Jackson Pollock after a 5th of scotch. In short, a painting not fit for human consumption. I don't know if it's the lack of a steady hand, keen eye or patience that is the issue. Knowing my luck, it's probably a mix of all three.

I really love the older look of the Northeast. I also like the Pioneer-style brick homes where I live. It's very charming.

Jackson Pollock was fortunate to travel in the right crowd, in the right place, at the right time. If not he would have had to fold up his drop cloth and go back to painting houses!
As for how a person can do what you said, I would have to say, it is a very long process with plenty of setbacks along the way. My desire it to get better. Every new painting I start. I know what I want to make better. It’s just a matter of figuring out how to accomplish that. I look at many other artist's work and ask myself the same questions- how do they get that to look like that? And what do I need to do to make that look like I imagine it looking in my mind? Sometimes, maybe many times, the lightbulb lights up and I get an aha! moment and I will try what I think might work and it does.
