Actually it was made by Blessing, in Elkhart, Indiana, and people who are in the know have told me that it was equivalent to the Super Artist model. I just donated it last June to a school district in Western Idaho for some youngster to learn on as well.

Or a Sears, Roebuck Catalog trumpet, as did I.
@kehaulani
Pretty sure there are horns with better intonation than others.
Otherwise we would all be playing Bundy's.
True?
@turtletrumpet
The p s 119 stands for Psalm 119 or some other Psalm verse. Lawyer puts it there because it means a lot to him. This is what I was told by a friend who owns one. Ironically his last name is Lawler as well!
What's his name? Said to the the dog owner.
HER/SHE
Oh, sorry to misgender your dog.
What's HER name?
No, his name is Hershey.

@bigdub The water droplets are very good.
And I thought those were beads of sweat from his hard work at painting that wonderfully realistic view!
That only happens in the summer….

@dr-go Yes, let's have paintings for all the Superbowl losers over the years.
BigDub could then retire from his day gig if he gets commissioned.
Retire(d) is my gig.
Did something a little different this time. Added a different element to this Maine Lighthouse. All of it is painted, in case there is any confusion.
A flight from Seattle to San Francisco was forced to take an unscheduled stop in Sacramento for repairs. There would be a delay of anywhere from an hour to several hours, so the crew told the passengers they were free to deplane but be alert to any announcements or messages to return immediately when it was ready to resume their flight. The captain saw Steve, who he had remembered from other flights. Steve was blind, and had his guide dog lying on the floor beside him. The captain asked if Steve would like to get out and stretch his legs a bit, and he said, no, I’m ok staying on board, but if you wouldn’t mind, could you take my dog with you for a little exercise?
Sure, said the pilot. Oh, he still had his sunglasses on, too.
Never has there ever been more panicked passengers and resulting cancelled flights in the history of air travel.
Connect the dots.
@georgeb
Me, too, George! That was the whole inspiration for that painting. That wonderful boat!

I can smell the Clam Chowder.
Maybe a Lobster Roll. It’s Maine, after all.
Just finished some more paintings, for those interested….
This one is of a harbor in Camden, Maine. I was very inspired by a reference photo I used with permission from the person who took it.

@dale-proctor Would you play trumpet with your nose?
Ha. That’s exactly what I thought. There’s about an equal chance for a Dolphin playing the trumpet from either of those orafices. ( sp?)
Now, there’s New Zealand, I know, I know.
Where's plain old Zealand?
A guy was bragging about his identical twin girls to a coworker.
Do you have any pictures? Says the coworker.
Sure, and shows them his wallet.
That’s only one. Where’s the other one?
I only needed the one. They’re identical, I told you.

Who Dey wants to buy more of Bigdub masterpieces, perhaps a Bengal Tiger as a thought.
You mean……like…….

@bigdub Can't be - no electric wiring anywhere. Must be an old-style petroleum hurricane lamp.
Must be that. In a totally made up imaginary scene like that……

Great, Wayne. I can almost hear the waves crashing against the rocks. Man, you are getting better and better with each new painting.
Thank you, George, that is very kind of you to say.
Ideally, that’s what I try for- every new painting I do would preferably be better than all the others. Of course that is a bit hard to achieve, but what I strive for!
