Other than that, how did you like the painting?
Ahh... now asking me for second opinions. You think you can afford it?
Yikes! I never thought about it……touché
Some opinions are pretty cheap, though. Some I wouldn’t give two cents for, and a penny for their thoughts should call for change back as well…..

Last night I stubbed my toe on the leg of our bed….big time.Take two aspirin and call me in the morning.
PS: That'll be $248... less then half the cost of one of your paintings... so who's making the big bucks now?
Haha. Good one. Answer to your question: you! Already knew that.
I sometimes forget things, but I'm sure I remember not asking for any medical advice. It was all self diagnosed, self medicated. You should see the toe now. It’s not the same color as the others. And starting to fall off, but other than that, fine. That much I can say. Again, not asking for scientific diagnosis here……I’m on a fixed income.
I will call you if you wish, though. No charge.
Other than that, how did you like the painting?

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.
@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.
@georgeb said in Artist on BOARD:
I'd love to have a coffee with you two and listen to the banter between you. It would be a riot...
I would love to as well. Never met the guy. Haha. ( in person, that is )
He does, however, have quite the extensive art by Wayne R Mathisen collection…..

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…….
Got finished with another one to show. Inspired by my times in Idaho and I used a video of a mountain stream for my reference material.

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.
@georgeb said in Artist on BOARD:
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.
George
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.
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?
According to my neighbors, I was Leo's best friend outside the family.
According to me, I agree

I hate to admit it , Wayne, but back when I was young and foolish at one of my birthday parties, I played The Sheik Of Araby while shaking my booty, wearing only a pair of jockey shorts. This was after quite a few shots of Jack Daniels.
Honest to God truth. My wife was mortified.
Thanks for putting that indelible image in my head, George. No, really!
Haha.
I once saw a bunch of brass players who decided to play while submerged in a city fountain. Only the bells were above the water.
Could be they used the tubing as a snorkel when whenever they needed to take a breath. Either that or learn to breathe H2 O.
@georgeb said in Blasphemous takes on classic tunes:
You guys are mean. So what if she can't play the trumpet. Besides, I wasn't listening, I was L O O K I N G ! An old fart like me wouldn't mind having a pretty no-talent thing like her on my arm...
I apologize, GeorgeB. That was mean.
She really put her heart into it. And who would have thought to put that kind of choreography into a trumpet solo? Anybody here ever done those kind of moves for a trumpet solo? Anyone? Barliman?
I'm waiting.

@barliman2001 Just found "The City of the Village of Douglas" in Michigan... population 1,200...
And SHE was the winner from Douglas. That would have been a pageant to see, don’t you think?
@barliman2001 said in Blasphemous takes on classic tunes:
@bigdub Douglas Village is now part of Cork, Ireland.
Pretty sure in this case the pageant was for Miss Michigan.
Might be a county or town in Michigan. That’s what I remember from the first time I saw it.
@barliman2001 said in Blasphemous takes on classic tunes:
@bigdub So disappointing that those stormtroopers never hit anything!
Another of her talents, I must have overlooked. She can avoid the laser shots.

I bet the mic was never supposed to be hot...
Oh dear. That could make me resign from trumpet playing, and possibly life.
Seen it many times. Cracks me up every time. She had other talents, but none as good as her trumpet playing, I suppose.
Her family raved about her playing, so she knew she was special.
She took lessons for two years, with a small group. After that, she was ready for the big time. Ready to do gags, I mean…..gigs.
Where is Douglas, by the way?

@bigdub said ...Non of the peons wanted to point out the obvious!
Not to get peon their shoes?
Affirmative.
