Title: Ten Eagles...
Post by: HuntnCarve on May 06, 2016, 03:26:37 PM
My wife told me to paint something other than calls for a change.  I had never painted on cloth.  So she suggested canvas "tote bags".  So I did a few, then a few more...
My older sister needed a gift for for her Bald Eagle watching friends that she met over the years watching eagle cams.  So she asked me to do up a few.  This latest batch of ten makes a total of twenty four eagles that I've done.

Here's a look at some others that I've painted.

Jim could work quality control.  Send them all to him and he will check them over.  Any not meeting his expectations will be given to his friends as Christmas presents.    :biggrin:

Boy!  That sounds like a win win for all :confused:  Thanks for volunteering Jim's services Jerry.  While he's evaluating the work, I can be using his kayak doing some fishing. :laf:

  Ten Eagles, sounds like a good Indian name for you...   :biggrin: 

excellent work though, have you ever considered giving up your day job and make a career out of painting?...  it'll definitely be a source of income when you retire...

Dale,

A few weeks back the company I worked for decided my services were no longer required.  Totally unexpected I might add. :shrug:
I am ten years away from retirement.  So suddenly things changed for the wife and I.  Meantime, I am testing the waters trying to find a solution.  The painting is one of them hopefully.  Thanks for the kind words and the inspiration.

You're a talented guy, Dave.  Maybe this is just an opportunity???
