@J-Jericho THANKS!

Thanks to “Likes Classical Muic”

My wife and I went to see the US Navy Jazz Band, The Commodores, this past Sunday at the State Theatre in New Brunswick, NJ. I was a free concert, too. I would have paid a lot more to see them. They were amazingly good! The photo is advertising their upcoming events in my area. One of the best comcerrts I have been to in a long time!

@Dale-Proctor thank you, Dale!

I am playing the trumpet, too. I just wanted to make that clear, in case anyone was wondering. But here is a new one inspired by a photo from a friend in Spring City, Tennessee. This is the Piney River. I am happy with this result.

Here is my most recent one. This is ten minutes from my home in NJ.
That’s right, NJ. The Church was started in 1752. In my area there was a very heavy Dutch influence. Anyway, this is Neshanic ( Dutch Reformed ) Church and it has been ver well maintained over the years. The way I have painted it depicts our present time, FYI.

@SSmith1226 said in A little humour:

You have seen a real one, to compare? Yes?

@Dr-GO good one, Doc

@administrator who’s a good boy? Such a good boy.

If you suck at playing the trumpet…..that’s probably why.
Harmonica, maybe, half the time, but not trumpet.

You’re very welcome.

In case you would be interested, here is a recording I downloaded on SoundCloud. All parts are generated by myself, there were 8 parts. Two were digital keyboard for percussion and bass line. The rest me on trumpet. The very low sounding I transposed down an octave with GarageBand. 5 of the parts were also notated by me..( or ad libbed )

Random and meaningless family. Really

latest piece. Pemaquid Light, Maine. 24”x18” on stretched canvas. I am very happy with how this turned out.

@J-Jericho said in How about a "Random Meaningless Image...let's see them string"?:

A month ago this was a Walmart Superstore, but involuntary inventory reduction prompted the decision to close this store and another one in the area. I wouldn't be surprised if those responsible for the inventory reduction aim their activities at Target to a greater degree than they had been doing previously.

Well, it’s a lot harder to Walmart a Target than to Target a Walmart. Just saying. Hope that makes you feel better.

@J-Jericho well, you got the random- check for that.
Aaaaaaaaand you got the meaningless- big time check for that.

100% nice work!

Believe it or not, I took a lie detector test once.
No, I didn’t.
I really did.
