Brag Forum / Portrait of my Daughter

« on: May 13, 2013, 12:40:38 am »

This is a portrait of my daughter Nicole. As you all know, Nicole died suddenly a few months back at the age of 33. I asked my good Friend Bob (tripleB) to make the pattern for me as I am not a pattern maker. I think he did a great job of it.
I stack cut 4 layers of 1/8" Baltic birch. The backer board is 1/8" BB painted flat black. The frame was made from a recycled Cherry raised panel door frame. Finished in a 50/50 mixture of boiled linseed oil and mineral spirits. Top coated with Deft semi gloss spray lacquer.
This one was given to My Mother today for Mother's day. One is for Nicole's mother, one is for her 12 year old daughter and the last one is for me.

The Coffee Shop / Wish me luck!

Saturday is my first show of the year. It is at the Ventura County Blues Festival at Moorpark college, in Moorpark Ca. It's just five minutes from my home! Lots of great music by the likes of Johnny Rivers and Savoy Brown. The promoters expect four thousand people! I will be sharing the booth with my buddy who makes wooden ties.
My biggest concern is people are coming to hear good music, not buy crafts, but there will be lots of time between the acts so folks will be wandering around. Also we will be set up next to the food vendors, so there should be lots of action.
Wish me luck!

Happy St. Patrick's day from Danny Boy! Stay sober and safe. The police and Highway Patrol will be out in force! I heard that it will cost you at least $1600 if you get arrested for DUI not including loss of wages. So if your going to party, DON'T DRIVE!

The Coffee Shop / Thanks to all my friends

« on: March 01, 2013, 07:25:34 pm »

I would like to thank all my friends here for your support with emails and posts. I was sitting in the airport in L.A. waiting for my flight to Mississippi when I checked my emails. GB was checking up on me as I hadn't posted in a while. I didn't want to burden the forum with my issue. I explained to GB what was going on and thanked him for his concern. When I Finally got to my hotel room around 9:30 pm I was overwhelmed with all the emails and replies to GB's post. I also want to thank Marion (marmoh) who met me at the airport on Thursday for lunch! What a lovely lady with a great sense of humor! We have been online friends since this forum started, but just meet face to face for the first time!
Nicole was 33. She though she had the flu but her symptoms lasted for over a month. She didn't think it was more than that. Her husband, who was in Afghanistan called her and was worried because of her symptoms. He called a friend to check up on her and took her to the hospital where she was diagnosed with leukemia with four long words in front of it. John, her husband was able to make it home in time to be with her before she died. she was buried on Wednesday their first wedding anniversary. She leaves behind her 11 year old daughter who is going to live with her new stepfather.
Needless to say its been a tough couple of weeks.
Thanks to all my friends here, you have made it a little bit easier.
