You just added two more great ones to your museum!

Wow, you do amazing work.  I loved how you did the minwax barn red and the true black.  How did you get the "distressed" look on the 'called shot' picture?

Thank you! Fine line between art and a mess. I got a little black from the backer on the red and when I rubbed it off it looked cool. So I just put more on using a nearly dry brush. Happy little accident.

nice job, Charlie. Really like the mix of stains on the one piece.

awesome job

Awesome job!  Loved the movie.

Great timing too with the Little League World Series going on.  I used to be a huge baseball fan back when I lived in Illinois.  Go Cubbies!  When I moved to Florida in '89 the Cubs weren't on tv down here, so I lost interest in baseball.  But I have always watch the LLWS games,, almost every game each year.  One of these days I hope to make it to Williamsport and see some games in person. If not Williamsport, than maybe Warner Robbins, GA to see some of the reginal games,, it's a lot closer too.  A team about 10 miles from me, Lake Mary Florida made it to the reginal this year.  I usually pull for a Tennessee team as they usually make it to the finals.

Terrific work on both Charlie. Like what you’ve done with the red oak. Very effective.

Thank you! We're pretty big Atlanta Braves fans. Lots to cheer for this year. Mostly I love watching my grandkids play baseball and tee ball. We have a ball park a couple of miles from my house where they play most of their games. We are able to drive our golf cart to the ball field. Being a small town we know lots of the kids and parents. You can get a popcorn and drink for $3. It's a little piece of heaven when the weather is pleasant.

Thanks Ron. I'm not usually much for color but I like this one. Wasn't really planned this way.

Excellent work Charlie.  Love the artistic accident.

Very nice indeed. I can't imagine what it would be like to walk into  your house and see all the portraits and other projects you have done
