... to the airgun community. In a previous thread, Dan had asked to see a few of my old oil paintings. So (shy as I am ... ), I posted a few in that thread. Quick snapshots taken in the house, in the evening. I knew they lacked good light, but looked pretty good on my computer. Well, Jerry said he liked the painting of the black bear in the cave best. But ... he though it looked alot like the one of the bat on the derby hat!

Hummm. So; here are the pics again in actual daylight.













This related to the idea proposed of one day chronicling the variety of my work thru the years.

Hope you enjoyed seeing these few, from the early 80's IIRC.

Very nice paintings Gary! I can see!!!

Ah ... I missed one I'd prepared. So I stuck it in. The bear is now in the first one (in the barn). haha.

Say, you didn't by any chance have anything to do with making those frames did you?

I'm noticing a recurring theme of a nice quiet scene with only a stream to break the silence. Hmmm... Sounds like no kids, no customers, no traffic, no neighbors...

We're you thinking of retirement?

Shhhh ... I'm "off canvas" ... looking thru a scope.

No ... not these picture frames, but when I had a cabinet shop, I made hundreds of them. For a company who featured a disabled female artist named Joni.

Gary

you are a man of many talents Gary.

Thanks Don.

Gary:

Very nice landscapes. I hope you still dabble in it from time to time, though with everything else you have going on, I suppose that is probably not happening. In any event thanks for sharing this with us.

Hi Karl,

Something I wish I had time for. Haven't for some years. I'll keep it in mind.

Glad you enjoyed them,

Gary

Good work Gary!

When do you sleep?
