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!

Did another one already. This one from Maine, where the Pemaquid Lighthouse is located….I didn’t do the lighthouse. Yet.

But be careful not to drink too much. I once did a water color after consuming several ounces of Jack Daniels and well...what a royal mess....

I did learn not to set a coffee mug down next to my water can……
That’s the strongest thing I drink!

Don't forget the alcohol.
Water based…..

I know……I know

I try to constantly work to learn something new on every new painting I do. Always finding someon else’s art to learn from as well . .

Then 'bout time to absorb some Jackson Pollock into your pastoral scenes.

Big Bub, those snow, rustic scenes are wonderful. Never stop.

Thanks a lot. I already have done some Jackson Pollock work.
Piece of canvas, laid on the floor, do some painting work with lots of spills and colors, and presto! I have a Jackson Pollock!

@shifty
Thanks so much, shifty!
I try to constantly work to learn something new on every new painting I do. Always finding someon e else’s art to learn from as well- and that can mean learning what not to do as much as the good parts!

Here are two recent paintings I have done this year so far.

I refrained from commenting on this thread till now, and I think out of courtesy, I will say no more…

Well, that’s no fun

@bigdub Wayne, I presume you started playing music on a viola. Only viola players can't count to three...
You know:
Conductor, "Start again at measure 2!"
Violas: "We don't have numbers!!"
