No we liked him the colour he was.

 

How old was your dog?

 

Well the licence is cheaper for a black and white dog.

 

She was 15 going on 3 when she saw à ball.

 

Amazing aren't they?

 

Serious answer.
No, I can't paint people or animals well enough to do them justice.

 

Any plans to come down to Constable country again?

 

Just got back a week ago. Didn't produce any masterpieces but great fun and learned some new techniques.

 

They are nice.
But if I may, can I ask you why your subjects all lean to the left? Except maybe the last one?
Is this the hallmark of à Tigger work of art?

 

Left handed?

 

Standing in a hole while painting?

 

Hadn't noticed, its probably how they were standing when I sketched them. Though I am a lefty. (In many ways)

 

I know nothing about art. But these paintings might just be pretty good.

 

You’re getting really good at Sky’s. Like the windmill the best.

 

I like the stream the best. Especially when I notice the left lean.

 

I'll be paranoid now every time I paint.

 

I like doing skies, this is my favourite

 

Lovely contrast of light and dark.

I know à student of art who loves watercolours. She says she learned so much when she restricted her pallette to three colours. She says it forces her to keep the colours tight and related.
You aren't far off there.
But the house still lists to the left.. compared to the one behind it...
Must be environmental erosion of the coastline.

 

You're imagining things. The left wall is vertical, the right wall leans right.
And yes I use a limited pallet, it ensures tones compliment each other.

 

Nice paintings then again all of your paintings are nice. Nice colors in the sunset sky i like the way you did the clouds it gives the painting depth. Good job.

 

Because black and white dogs are more intelligent they don’t need expensive licenses.

 

I’m truly sorry.

 

Almost 2:30 a.m. and here I am at work again.
In this little town after midnight if you want something to eat you have a choice of the gas station where I work or two other gas stations.

Other than that it's a 30 mile drive to the waffle House in the next county.

And we do keep the cleanest one of the stores by far.
Because it just isn't right that anyone should want a Black and mild cigar or boiled peanuts at 3:00 a.m. and have to go without.

Not on my watch peanut deprivation, not on my watch. Oh no you don't!

Our boiled peanuts are hawks Cajun brand that come in 5 lb bags that are frozen and precooked. The other two gas stations sorry excuse for boiled peanuts come out of a steel can.

And we even offer you a paper bag so you can put your empty shells in.... You just don't get service like that at the other two stations!

We sell a lot of them because about every 10 days we go through a good size chest freezer full of peanuts.

And everyone agrees that our sweet tea is by far the best in this county. We sell tons of the stuff

 

That really sucks. Had to put my dog of 10 years down about 2 years ago. I noticed a little lump on the bridge of his nose one day and then I saw a little blood splatter on the floor that looked disturbing because it looked like it had been sneezed out.

He had a tumor growing in there and that lump got bigger. Overtime he had sneezing fits which would trigger worse and worse nose bleeds. The vet said it would eventually rupture a major vessel and he would bleed to death.

And the last nosebleed was so bad I was surprised he didn't and then it got to where it was obvious he was having trouble breathing so it was time. I cried like a baby as they injected him.

I'm sorry you have to lose your pal too

 

Thank you.
And I'm sorry you and I fell out. Guess we're very different political animals, but can't be helped.
