Note to reader, posting will be light. The power cord for my laptop is dying. A new one is ordered and is expected Monday.









Excellent artist, thank you for posting his work. Wow! That two bird picture was a groaner. Very well done. Laptop woes are woes indeed.
ReplyDeleteVery impressive ERJ! Thanks for continuing the tradition.
ReplyDeleteBateman has a high school named after him in Abbotsford, British Columbia. Abbotsford also named schools after Chief Dan George, Terry Fox and Rick Hanson -- two of those being cross country heroes.
ReplyDeleteIncredible artist, too bad he didn't go to the school of duct tape and bananas.
