What about working around wood? I put this wall of back-splash in with the help of my wife again with marble tile I got from Lowe's. Worked from 5 pm to 5 am the next morning to complete the project on a cold (8 degree F day) in February. Had to run a heater in the garage to keep the water from freezing in the stone cutter. Did the entire profect (facing wall not pictured) for $380.00!
Sorry. No, this does not qualify.
Haha, very nice!

Anybody here like woodworking? I just bought myself a bunch of tools to get started in woodworking, including a CNC router.
I have done a lot of woodworking and enjoy it very much.
I built a dining room table, music cabinet, coffee table, bathroom vanity, other cabinets, two cradles, and a trumpet. Out of wood.

FACT: Einstein applied for a Chair of Mathematics in Zurich and was rejected because "his theories were too far-fetched for use in academic teaching."
That, sadly, is amazingly similar to my situation, except for the chair of mathematics job, and having theories.
@Dr-GO
That’s how my face would look too after being with Einstein.
Look at his teacher's face. Seems to me his expression says,
“ I didn’t learn a single thing in school!”
Not sure what happened with my post, but here goes again.
This is the last of my “one painting a day sky scapes”.
I added some water and maybe a sailboat, for the topping.
This was done in the total real time of approximately 2 1/2 hrs start to finish.

This is the painting for day two. From the best of my recollection, I tried to show how it looked driving along a highway from Charleston, South Carolina to Bluffton, SC as I drove, the boredom became exhilarating with the flaming sunset. Here’s the best I could remember.!
Remember how l commissioned you to paint an ocean scene from my memory?
Yes. How could I forget. Quite a challenge, that one!

A new challenge I gave myself is to do a different painting each day for maybe a week ( 5 days ). Hey, I'm the one who made it up, right? I might go longer. We'll see. I wanted to concentrate the subject matter to dramatic sky scapes. Here is day one. Yes, I did complete it in one 2 hour session. It’s small. 
During the quarantine I more or less decided that I shouldn’t expect to be too optimistic about selling anything, period.
Well, that was not to be the case. Through various connections, and by that I mean a lot of different means, I was able to sell 8 different pieces of art. This one was purchased from someone in Georgia who had moved away from my area and saw another painting posted by somebody on Google. It was in the photo selections of a Church in Rocky Hill, NJ. Somebody I don’t know posted a photo of my painting on Google for Rocky Hill Reformed Church. That is how this person hunted me down, and then also bought this ship painting!

Isn't the painting missing the cards and poker chips?
Oh, no. This one is an original. I couldn’t very well copy, now, could I?
A commission I am working on, it may be done. The paint isn’t even quite dry yet, and acrylics dry pretty fast! 
My newest thing, also I did a time-lapse video of the whole thing from start to finish on FaceBook for those who want to watch paint dry, so to speak....
@Kehaulani said in Artist on BOARD:
You said your painting was in the Cochran. There's a Cochran Museum in Austin.
Haha. Pardonne moi. I hadn’t heard of that museum. No, the Cochrans are friends who commissioned me to do the painting in question. They live near me as well, in NJ.

That is awesome. What size is it?
I think it is 20”x30”. It is across town in another home, the Cochran's, though....
Are you in Austin?
I'm in NJ. Hillsborough. Central Jersey. What gave you the impression I was in Austin?
A very Happy Easter to all.
Here is a little thing I did 40 years ago, on a nice piece of birch plywood. Painted straight on the plywood with a little thinned down brown around the border to act as a stain.

I appreciate that comment, Kehaulani. Here is another I don’t believe I have shown here yet,
