They are really nice, I had no idea!! What is the difference in prints and paintings? I believe I saw that there are some paintings by him floating around too?

My family was big on 'stuff'---green stuff (cool whip and pistachio), pink stuff (cool whip, jello, and fruit cocktail), and so on.

Elf poop, that's a good one!

Actually that was his last release... I don't know why SIL hasn't posted the new one yet, it just came out. It is a war print of the battle over the (something) bridge in Cynthiana, Ky.... Sorry don't remember all of my Ky history so don't know the name of the bridge. Anyway it is a really nice print, and would be a good one for folks who like civil war prints... or I can bring a cabin scene, or something else... Helps to have connections huh

I vote for War Print!!!

Hubby and I both love history, and, well, not sure if you've seen his office lately

... the guy is into war stuff.

Maybe instead of a raffle, we could have a silent auction? What would you guys think of that?

Paintings are the originals either done in oil or pastel(? water base anyway)... The original is sent to the printer to have how ever many prints will be made whether it be an open edition signed only(which he never does anymore) or a limited edition which is signed and numbered. Once the prints are sold out that is all of them and that is why the value goes up. Some are more popular and the value raises quicker. He did a snow scene once(Snowflakes) that now has a collector value of over 1500.00. His snow scenes are very popular...
He also sells originals at the fair and at art/craft shows and festivals... He takes the buyers name and address and they have to agree that if he ever wanted to print one of the originals they have to let him. Which really wouldn't be a problem because that would cause their original to increase in value.

That is more than likely the one I'll end up bringing... Gonna try to save enough to get it framed in a neutral matting/frame.

My little one will be 5 in October, I'm sure he'll love to meet your boys!! He is always complaining that he has no one to play with, cthrash1's son is one of his 'best friends', and he (cthrash1's son) is three times as old as mine is!!

Make sure you guys post what you are looking for (birds, animals, whatever), what you'll be bringing (birds, animals, whatever), and what dish you can bring. Also, we need more donations for the raffle (or silent auction, if we go that route). This is going to be great!! I can't wait

Shelley - we need to process some quail and do some on the grill to let folks taste them - maybe they'll buy some eggs or extras off you (or me

)

if that's something folks want to try, post it and let us know so we can have enough for everyone.
