...Russian Miner

...framing past works means looking for flaws, clean ups and perhaps a spark of a new idea... this work i did like but i had this idea to try wood stain on the bristol board to make his white areas pop.... it dried wonderfully and perhaps is ready to frame now... Grahite/Bristol/stain------ time in total drawing plus stain painting: approx 30 hours

The favourite prdouct of the year is the significant boot since it confers a slender search to the foot. On top rated of this, lots of ladies choose to wear fancy tights in the winter time, and these boots let the tights to be viewed. If you want to get a pair of the aforementioned boots, you should almost certainly adhere to a high style and design, even previously the knee, since these are in trend at the moment. You can select any colour you want, but most riding boots are possibly brown or black.

I'm so sorry I did not know, I guess I still don't. I'm an arogant prick and as I weep as I realize what I have learned just now, I wish to honor some one that always liked my work, I'm sorry, this is so new, at least to me. God bless Sher Richardson
