Whitney

Whitney is nine years old and visited today with her mom and puppy Coco for some fantastic images!

Steve is oil painting!

My mom has painted ever since I was a little kid. I've been thinking about painting for years, and I recently saw my brother-in-law start painting, so I finally took action! I got a set of paints and a book and well, just started painting. After a few test cases (which won't be show here! LOL!) I've started to produce items like these. This is my view of Monument Valley in Arizona, and my first portrait in a medium other than photography - our dog Wiley. I understand going in that this is an ability that takes years to cultivate, but I'm up for the challenge! For those in the know, both of these artworks were completed using a pallette knife - no brushes.

Cool find

My great great grandfather was named Joseph W. Ebersol, and he was a farmer in Illinois. He fought in the civil war and was wounded in the shoulder. The other day I was looking through some of my grandmother's things, and I found his original discharge papers from the Union Army! Dated February 3, 1864. While in kind of rough shape, it is all still legible.

My uncle still has the bullet.
