OMG...again...you amaze me! I love to call my boys in to see your new pieces...5 and 10 and they have a hard time believing they are wood. Just gorgeous! I don't understand how you can paint like that. Thats definately not just slapping it on there! Congratulations!

Ashbys, From the block of wood to finished product it took 8 days working 12 hrs. a day.

Keona, I paint with the same tecniques that I teach in my seminars, airbrush for the base coats and conventional brush for the details.

Thanks you guys!!

Keona, Keep in mind that a artist has to be part salesperson, marketeer and buisness person as well. I'm always selling something!!
