I seem to be in a productive stage this year. I have a clear idea of what I want to paint. This is not always a given, by the way. Just glad the juices are flowing. This one was from a photo I took, from the driver's seat of my Uncle's Buick. The passengers were quite panicked, but I assigned my uncle to hold the wheel so we were fine. The second picture is the photo I took those many years ago ( with a film camera, by the way). Then I decided to recreate it in a winter setting. Here are the pictures

It has been said that some dogs can understand up to 250 words. I’ve had several employees who could understand at least that many……..combined, though.

Elmar, here is the recording if you feel like listening to it. https://soundcloud.com/bigdub-3/07-christmas-day-in-the?si=85561cd1af7440b98a25acaf3c4a8893&utm

I expect this will possibly not be good either, but for what it’s worth, here is my two cents.
I have played a marching French horn when needed. It has a very horn like sound ( duh). Anyway, I can share a recording where I was playing that part. The advantage for me, at least, was that a trumpet mp can be used interchangeably and the fingerings are exactly like trumpet. It reads the French horn part as well.

Hope you are soon well, brother

Last Sunday, beautiful sunny, warm day in my neck of the woods, wife and I took a drive into PA specifically for this barn. A long time favorite of mine in Solebury Township, Bucks County. There are so many stone buildings in Pa that I truly admire. Here is the finished piece.

TMI here…..we are digressing, don’t we think?
Not critiquing his playing or the other Rockwell of the red haired boy practicing……
I'm sorry, Steve, but you are off the case. More focused agents will be called upon shortly…….
Seriously, though, I think we can narrow it down, maybe.

This is a painting by Norman Rockwell from 1931. Given his reputation of being extremely accurate with his details, I was wondering if anyone here who knows much more than I do could identify what the horn is that is being played here.

Not trying to pass this off as an original, but I noticed that I never showed this "copy" I had done of my favorite western artist's painting, "A Dash For The Timber". I mainly did it to see if I could do it, and it will never be sold or passed off as an original by myself. That being said, I was pretty pleased with the result.
The original painting by Frederic Remington was 48”x89” ( I think )
Like a mural size. Mine is 10”x20” I might have been wiser to make it a little bigger for the details, but this is what I decided.

This painting won first place in Somerset County for Professional Acrylics. Also then went on to receive Honorable Mention for the State of NJ. Now hangs in my family room…….!

This is a new piece I just completed….also a link to the YouTube video of the entire painting from start to finish.

@Dale-Proctor
Yeah, I get that a lot

My newest painting. This one got on the front page of the Montgomery News, next town over from me. It will be good publicity for the upcoming show in which I am a participant. Always helpful.

@bigdub
Haven’t shown anything for quite a while, but this is my most recent piece. I am planning on entering it into my State Senior Art Competition.

@dr-go
It could be an electrifying story, that much I would guess

@barliman2001 said in How about a "Random Meaningless Image...let's see them string"?:

Caption: “What’s the worst thing that could happen?”

I would say, ( hope I'm not repeating anyone else here…) different players, different set of precautions.
Some guys and girls look like their head is going to explode. Then there are others who you almost can’t distinguish the difference between them playing and just placing the horn on their chops.
So, depending where you fall into that group, judge accordingly.

I heard that one out of four people are mentally disturbed.
Seems more like three out of four………to me.

Another time Ole was driving home with his wife, Lena. A little way into the trip a police officer stops him to tell him he thought someone may have fallen out the passenger side about a half mile back. .
“Oh, boy, dats a relief!” Says Ole. “I thought maybe I had gone deaf!”
