ABOUT THE ARTIST YOURS TRULY
WHAT NO SOUND
I COULD FIND NO MUSIC THAT WOULD DESCRIBE MY LIFE.
 GO HERE
     FIRST OF ALL LET ME START BY SAYING THAT I DON'T LIKE TO CALL MYSELF AN ARTIST. I AM JUST A GUY WHO LIKES TO DRAW AND PAINT PICTURES.
NEXT I AM SELF TAUGHT. I ONCE HEARD THE STATEMENT THAT "A SELF TAUGHT ARTIST WAS A SORRY ARTIST". OH WELL WHAT EVER TRIPS THEIR SWITCH. ANYWAY EVERYTHING I KNOW ABOUT PAINTING I FOUND OUT THROUGH BOOKS AND JUST PLAIN OUT LOOKING AT THINGS. SOME FOLKS NEVER SEE THE BARK BECAUSE THEY ARE ALWAYS BUSY LOOKING AT THE TREES.
     ARTIST THAT I ADMIRE THE MOST ARE HOWARD TERPING AND NICOLIA FECHING. I LIKE NICOLIA FECHING BECAUSE HE PAINTS LIKE HOWARD TERPING. (SMILE) HOWARD TERPING IS PROBABLY THE BEST NATIVE AMERICAN ARTIST THAT EVER DREW A BREATH THROUGH A PAIR OF LIPS.
I LIKE TO PAINT WITH OIL COLORS. IN CASE YOU ARE NOT FAMILIAR WITH PAINTING, OIL COLORS IS THE MEDIUM. THERE IS JUST ONE REASON I HAVE FOR USING OIL COLORS. THEY WILL GIVE YOU A BREAK. IF YOU MAKE A MISTAKE YOU JUST WIPE IT OFF AND START OVER. TRY THAT WITH WATER COLORS. WATER COLORS RUN AROUND ON THE PAPER LIKE A COON WITH AN ADVANCED CASE OF RABIES.
I LIKE TO PAINT ANYTHING BUT I GUESS I AM DRAWN TO THE CIVIL WAR AND NATIVE AMERICAN ART. WHY? I NEVER REALLY THOUGHT ABOUT IT VERY MUCH,
I JUST DO. PEOPLE USED TO ENCOURAGE ME TO HAVE PRINTS MADE AND SELL THEM. WELL I TRIED THAT AND ALMOST WENT BROKE. I KEEP TRYING TO TELL PEOPLE THAT I CARED NOTHING ABOUT SELLING THE THINGS I JUST LIKE TO PAINT THEM. NOW I DID NOT SAY THAT I WOULD NOT SELL THEM I JUST SAID THAT I DIDEN'T LIKE TO SELL THEM.THINK I WILL GET IN TROUBLE WITH THAT? ANYWAY I HAVE A STACK UP STAIRS OF SLAUGHTER AT THE STONE WALL. I AM TRYING TO FIGURE OUT A WAY TO USE THEM FOR WALL PAPER. THE KIND THAT GOES ON THE WALL NOT THE COMPUTER SCREEN. AND LAST BEFORE WE GET OUT OF THE PAINTING THING LET ME APOLOGIZE FOR THE SMALL PICTURES IN THE WEB PAGE. BUT TO BE QUITE HONEST IF YOU BLOW THE THINGS UP EVERYTHING JUST GOES HAYWIRE AND THEY LOOK LIKE I DON'T KNOW WHAT.
 
     I AM MARRIED AND MY WIFE'S NAME IS SANDRA BROWN AND NO SHE DOESN'T WRITE BOOKS SHE JUST READS THEM. WE HAVE BEEN MARRIED FOR THIRTY YEARS AND FOR THE MOST PART IT HAS BEEN A FINE THIRTY YEARS. I HAVE TWO CHILDREN HAYLEY AND JASON. THEY HAVE BEEN A JOY TO MY LIFE. AND PLEASE FOLKS DON'T GO WRITING THEM LETTERS. THEY WILL PROBABLY KILL ME FOR ENTERING THEIR NAMES IN THE FIRST PLACE. BOTH OF MY CHILDREN ARE COLLEGE EDUCATED AND AS YOU CAN PROBABLY TELL BY THIS LETTER I WENT RIGHT ON BY THE DOORS OF THE PLACE. ANYWAY (JUST LOVE THE WORD ANYWAY) THEY KIND OF LOOK AT ME SIDE WAYS WHEN I COME UP WITH SOME OF THE STUFF THAT I COME UP WITH. I CAN HEAR MY DAUGHTER NOW. "DADDY YOU SHOULD HAVE LET ME LOOK AT THAT BEFORE YOU SHOWED IT TO THE WORLD". AND BY THE WAY I HAVE ONE BROTHER BUT HE IS LIKE ME HE COULD CARE LESS. I MAY NOT KNOW ALL THE GRAMMAR STUFF AND HOW TO SPELL EVERY WORD BUT THERE IS ONE THING FOR SURE I CAN CREATE. I GOT PROOF.
     YOU WILL FIND ON THE WEB PAGE, IF NOT NOW YOU WILL IN THE FUTURE A PAGE FOR ME . I WILL HAVE A PICTURE OF MY HOME AND BELIEVE IT OR NOT I BUILT IT MYSELF. ALL THE CEMENT FOR THE SIDE WALKS WAS POURED BY HAND OUT OF A WHEEL BARROW. AND THE GRAVEL AND SAND COME FROM THE CREEK IN FRONT OF THE HOUSE. AND THESE PEOPLE PAY GOOD MONEY TO LOSE WEIGHT. JUMP ON  ABOUT SEVENTY WHEEL BARROW LOADS OF CEMENT AND CREEK GRAVEL AND YOU WILL LOOK LIKE OLIVE OIL IN NO TIME. THE FLOWERS WERE DONE BY MY WIFE. I TAKE NO CREDIT FOR THAT BECAUSE IF I HAD TOUCHED THEM THEY WOULD HAVE SURELY DIED. THE BRIDGE WAS BUILT BY ME. IT IS 135 FT LONG FROM END TO END. THE LAST BRIDGE I WILL EVER BUILD. I TOOK LEAVE OF MY SENSES WHEN I COME UP WITH THE IDEA OF BUILDING A HOUSE ON YONDER SIDE OF A CREEK. FOLKS WANT TO KNOW HOW I COME UP WITH THE PLAN FOR THE LANDSCAPING. I TELL THEM "HECK IF I KNOW I JUST START DIGGING AND EVERYTHING JUST SEEMS TO WORK OUT".
AND BEFORE I FORGET. YOU HAVE PROBABLY SEEN THE PICTURE OF THE COON. HER NAME IS MEEKO AND SHE IS MY BUDDY. AND BEFORE ALL YOU GAME WARDENS GET YOUR PAMPERS IN A WAD SHE IS HERE ON HER ON FREE WILL. SHE LIKES ME AND THAT IS THE END OF IT. WE GO ON LONG WALKS TOGETHER AND YOU WOULD BE SURPRISED WHAT YOU CAN LEARN FROM A COON. MY WIFE IS A CAT LOVER AS YOU CAN PROBABLY TELL BY THE CAT PICTURE ON THE WEB SITE. HIS NAME IS TAZ AND I HAVE MORE IN THAT CAT THAN MOST PEOPLE HAVE IN THEIR LINCOLN TOWN CAR. ANYWAY (HECK I DO LIKE THAT WORD) THE OTHER DAY TWO OF HER CATS FIGURED THEY WOULD HAVE A LITTLE SPAT. THERE THEY SAT GROWLING AND SNARLING AT EACH OTHER. I GUESS THIS DISTURBED MEEKO BECAUSE SHE WENT OUT AND STARTED TO TAKE NAMES. ONE CAT RAN UP A TREE AND THOUGHT HE WAS SAFE BUT MEEKO WENT RIGHT UP AFTER HIM. I GUESS NO ONE EVER TOLD THAT CAT  ABOUT THE A+ THAT COONS GET IN CLIMBING SCHOOL. AND WHEN THAT COON REACHED THAT CAT THE SHOW WAS ON. YOU COULD HAVE SOLD TICKETS TO THAT.
     WELL THAT IS ALL I AM GOING TO TELL YOU. HOPE YOU GET SOME KIND OF ENJOYMENT OUT OF THE WEB PAGE. I WILL BE ADDING TO IT AS TIME GOES ON. THAT IS THE ONLY WAY I KNOW TO KEEP MY FAMILY ON THEIR TOES.
     I AM KIND OF LIKE WILL ROGERS. I JUST COME UP WITH THE PLAN. BACK DURING WORLD WW II THE GERMAN U-BOATS WERE GIVING US A FIT OFF THE COAST OF NORTH CAROLINA. WILL ROGERS WROTE THE PRESIDENT AND TOLD HIM THAT HE HAD A PLAN FOR GETTING RID OF THEM. WELL BEING THAT WILL ROGERS WAS WHO HE WAS CAUSED THE PRESIDENT TO SIT UP AND TAKE NOTICE. SO HE GETS BACK TO WILL AND HE ASKED FOR HIS PLAN. WILL TOLD HIM "HEAT THE OCEAN UP TO 600 DEGREES AND WHEN THE GERMANS COME UP ON TOP SHOOT THEM LIKE DUCKS ON A POND". THE PRESIDENT GETS BACK TO WILL AND SAYS "THAT IS A FINE PLAN BUT HOW DO I HEAT THE OCEAN UP TO 600 DEGREES". WILL'S ANSWER" DON'T BROTHER ME WITH THE DETAILS, I JUST COME UP WITH THE PLAN". I GUESS THAT IS THE STORY OF MY LIFE.
