Is it kosher?

I painted this for my neighbors who just had to say goodbye to him a few weeks ago…maybe a month. Time is a funny thing, isn’t it?![alt text](

According to my neighbors, I was Leo's best friend outside the family.
According to me, I agree

That was kind of you to do that, Wayne. When you lose a pet it is like losing a member of the family. Your portrait will ensure this furry little member of the family will be remembered forever.
And the work you did is excellent as usual.

Thank you, George. It was not a chore by any means, though. The neighbors are like family to us, and there’s not much I wouldn’t do for them and vice versa. I truly have never had a dog that wasn’t my own love me as much as he did, and the next door neighbors would agree with that. There were times I was over there that the owners would call him two and three times to come inside. He would pretty much ignore them. Then I would say, come on inside now, Leo, and he would bound up the steps right inside like a shot!
That family couldn’t even mention my name without Leo throwing a fit that he couldn’t come and see me! That’s the truth.

They have rabbits on the African plains?

I believe rabbit species are found on at least five continents, including central/southern Africa. FWIW.
If they keep saying, “POLO”, they’ll sure be found.
I often find rabbit feces on my property, but no species.

Where can someone get this? ( asking for a friend )

Wow ! I can almost hear the roar of the water. Great work, Wayne.

It's not the water, it's Wayne roaring after stubbing his toe on the isle that fell on him when he was moving the painting.

Never heard of an isle falling on anyone. Might be a first. LOL
MAYBE you meant easel? I don’t know, I just don’t know.
Oddly enough, I don’t use an easel much. Hardly ever. Just with very big canvases. And I try my best not to stub my toe on it…….

@dr-go
Wanna hear something crazy? Last night I stubbed my toe on the leg of our bed….big time.
I am so sorry. I will not tease you any more, Doc.
Is that what they call “Karma”?
I think I might have broken my middle toe, no less.

Well, now, maybe he's a witch doctor and put some kind of hex on you....

No. I'm pretty sure he's a veterinarian.

One of my former Bandmates with the community band's name is Steve Young. He hardly even knew he had the same name as the Hall Of Fame Quarterback for the 49ers.
An even weirder thing about him was that he played the viola, and quit to play more viola stuff. Now that’s weird.

Saw this one on one of my walks in my neighborhood a couple of weeks ago and regretted not taking a picture of it. Fortunately the owner was visiting the same house again, and I said to myself, not this time! 64 Pontiac Bonneville. Look closely, the keys were in the ignition!

He couldn’t stop - he was chasing the Riddler…

I saw the driver of the Batmobile, and, BRACE YOURSELF- it wasn’t Batman! So that opens up a real can of worms.

Maybe it was Bruce Wayne, then.

Looked more like commissioner Gordon, to be honest.

Sorry. I used to love cars. Now I hate cars. They are a necessary evil, but I just want ones that start and run reliably and drive comfortably.

How about motorcycles? I like them, too…

The Honda in the foreground is the same model I took my motorcycle license test with, although it was not mine. If I am remembering correctly it’s a CB450, my friend let me borrow it.

Anyone in the market for a trombone?
Amazon has them.

@j-jericho

The piano just had been tuned. Obviously.
LOL.

There was a big commotion in the jungle. A snail had been run over by a turtle, and emergency first responders were on the scene. Nearby was a sloth watching the whole thing.
Police asked him: did you see what happened?
Yes. He finally replied.
Can you describe what happened?
Well…………I……………..don’t know……………everything……….happened……….so………..fast

This was the painting I sold at the recent show. I also sold one print and one couple has commissioned me to do a painting of a great stream on their property.
So, that was good. Not too shabby.

@j-jericho US, anyway. Could not be anywhere else.

Not even Switzerland?
Seems like they would qualify, somewhat.

I believe their cars only work in neutral.... but if pushed downhill, should get some speed. That would not be too safe in hearing the car coming though since what's a Matterhorn can be an issue.

A little known secret is how they make their cheese have all the holes

@curlydoc You could add this to Artist on BOARD https://trumpetboards.com/topic/256/artist-on-board/439 as well.

I agree. Nice work!
