    Today I celebrated my 48th birthday. All 3 of my children surprised me on my lunchbreak along with my 11 month old grandson with a homemade dinner of backstraps and fresh cut fries. My wife of 26 yrs made me my favorite cake along with some chocolate custard ice cream. Then I get back to work and find this gem of a video! As I grow older I have learned to appreciate the little things more and more so to you Boss I say thank you. Your timing for this video was superb. It really put the icing on my birthday cake! God bless all

    I really like the old camp picture. I left home at 12 and lived in an old 8'x12' chicken coop. My stove was what was called a trash burner but it didn't take much to heat it, just enough to cook on and heat water. Outhouse and gravity fed spring water at the porch with a tin tub. No money to feed a pet, never had a dog of my own. Chicken coop was in a small barnyard with a couple lean-to sheds for my sheep and calves. Another smaller coop for my 3 hens, chicks and a rooster....James

    I'm an artist also and I know talent when I see it. Pencil art (in my opinion) is one of the most difficult styles of art to master. You are definitely talented and the level of detail in your art is impressive. Thanks for sharing! 👍

    I so enjoyed seeing your beautiful works of art. You are very talented. My husband had a customer that he had done some favors for. One day he came to our house with a number of large wildlife paintings he had done. We had no idea he painted. They were beautiful. He asked my husband which one he wanted and then he asked me which one I liked. I chose one that was a forest scene with a deer drinking from a stream and you could see the deers reflection on the water. I really love this picture and he did such a wonderful job on it. We now live in a country decorated lodge-type home and it hangs on the wall by my dining room table. I think of him and his kindness every time I look at this picture. The frame is very unique also. It is sawn out of timber by hand and has the knots in the wood and a curved outer edge. I love animals and I am looking at the doves at our feeder as I send this. God bless and may you have a wonderful summer really enjoying and accomplishing all the things you would like to get done.🐺🐺🐺🐺🙏🙏🙏🙏😍😍😍😍

    A man after my own heart. I too liked to paint. I did various paintings and one was of a white poodle and every curl was a single paint stroke. Those were the days. I did a circular saw blade. I painted a real old building. In the field I did an old Chevy. Pickup and it was being loaded with split wood. At the end of the day was a stump with my axe stuck in it and I'm looking at a stream that comes from afar and has various boulders in and along side of it blowing here and there in the wind was various wildflowers. My pictures were stolen along with my paints and brushes. It is sad how some people destroy the hearts of others. Your art is beautiful and it puts ones mind at ease.
    Good Luck with your pictures. They will be sold before you know it. Tell the Mrs's hello from Oregon.

Your videos, I’ve enjoyed for years, and the evolution of your journey has been good to see. You and Lori are authentic, organic, pioneering, and fun.

Saw Beluga whales along the Seward highway, went to Chugach state park & a conservation park with moose sparring, bears playing in a huge pond. Saw ice floes & the water was sooooooooo cold! (Really liked Girdwood, AK). Had the best Halibut & enjoyed the Moose's Tooth pizza! Good times. Enjoyed your video.

    It always amazes me that we all pretty much see the same things but only a few of us can transfer what we see to paper using simply our hands, eyes and a pencil. That's for sharing. Your talent is great and the stories behind the staging of each piece is as golden as each piece. Maybe there's a companion book in there with chosen pieces? It's always a pleasure boss. Hug the Misses and pet the pooches. I've taken a scene from a few of your videos and set up bird feeders in my little yard. My misses and I enjoy watching them play, splash, and sometimes fight over seed, suet and our little water feature. Make it great day Boss, I know you will. You gotta fan in Texas.
