I finally received my WESTERN ART COLLECTOR magazine and the photograph of myself doing the quick-draw at the Jackson Hole Fall Art Festival in Jackson, Wyoming at the town square. This event is held every September and it is usually snowing or a cold rain falling. Makes for a really fun event though as the auction is lively and prices are outstanding. My piece in this picture went for $2,750.00. A new record for me in a quick-draw. We are given 1 hour to complete our paintings and 15 minutes to frame them up. [I think they should hold it every day]This has been a pretty cool Birthday as I received both the Peaks and Plains magazine with my article and this magazine today. Along with the T V event last weekend. Makes being 68 almost tolerable even though I am sure I am now over the hill and sliding so fast I can't grab the trees going by.
Happy Birthday! So nice when good things happen around our special days.
ReplyDeleteEven though it's the 17th here already now, I want to send you a hello and happy belated birthday wishes!

Happy Birthday Gary! Neat present your received with the quick-draw photo. :)
ReplyDeleteHad to work the gallery on my Birthday and through early afternoon today then I took off to do a little heavy climbing [not rope but steep] just to prove I could still climb. So maybe you are right Liz. Will post it on my outdoor adventures in next day or two.
ReplyDeleteWow Gary you have been busy! Very well done with the quick draw and all the best for your birthday!
ReplyDeleteHi Gary, you obviously had a great Birthday!, I don't know how you managed all that work in an hour, so I wouldnt worry too much about your age, I'm giving you 14yrs, and I couldn't do It, have many more great birthdays. Lindax
