For those that asked what I do

This was my latest commission piece it was the customers grandfather's place and he had me paint it
on his grandfather's handsaw.

This was another commission and the guy asked me to paint what ever I wanted as he trusted it would be nice.

This was a piece done for the owner of the US Championship
Cow Dog a few years ago.

This was one of my earlier paintings that I did for the fun
of it and it sold before I even got it framed.

This is the end wall of my gallery where the sketches
I did for my book are displayed so tourists can see them
while I talk about the history.
They are the ranchers, lawmen and outlaws that make
up the history of our area.

I built these two among 4 others (wheels and all) so the tourists can
see what travel was like in the old days.


I had two little girls at the gallery last week that took great pleasure
in giving their grandfather a ride in the stage coach.
They sat one at a time on the drivers seat while the Grandfather rode
inside over the rough imaginary trail they were on.
The look on those kids faces was all I needed to tell me I was
doing the right thing with my time and energy.

Over the years I have had people from all over Canada,
the US and the world coming to the gallery to hear the history.
It is a treat to see all of their reactions. This summer, I've had four
college age students from Tokyo Japan and a couple from Switzerland.
When the ones from Tokyo saw the wagons they yelled picture
time and they took pictures in all of them before they left.

Very pleasant post for PB. Thanks Tam. Checking it out next time I am passing by is now on my barrel list.

So per, most people have a 'bucket list' but you have a
'barrel list'. Is that because you have so many things you
want to do before you die, that they won't fit in a bucket? :p :wink: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:

That is really something that you have undertaken, Tam.
My hat is off to you! :tiphat:

You do fine work, Tam. I feel honored and privileged to have seen some of your artwork live and in person. You and Big Muddy have a lovely ranch. Keep lining out the Liberals; they are in dire need of your services. :wink: :)

Well thank you all very much I just thought that since nonothing actually asked nice I would share. Oh and the trinket comment I'll forget that one because of who it came from :wink:

As far as what I can paint on Sandhusker I guess if I can paint on feathers and skulls, your request might not be out of the question, but I do have my limits to what I will paint. I think your request would be considered OVER THE LINE, think of it would you like to look at a picture of him for hours at a time NOT ME. :shock: :wink: :lol:

You could sell a bunch of them, Tam. Everybody comes across a million dollar idea sometime in their lives......

You ever paint any Mules? I have thought of having a painting of my wife's mule done for her as an anniversary present. And maybe one of my daughters horse and mule.

No aplusmnt I haven't painted mules but these are a couple of the paintings of horses I did. I doubt they would be much different to do. The problem with doing horses is I have two very tough critics living in the yard that keep their eye on how I'm doing to make sure they are done right. One you know and the other is his dad. :wink:
