Ron Smiths generous gift of the goose print arrived in the mail yesterday and I could hardly wait to open it.
Thank you so much Ron, it’s even more beautiful than I could imagine from the little picture posted on the Café forum.
Your artistry really captured the watchful pride and concern in the parent’s eye as the baby goslings took their first swim.
You sure know how the capture the feeling of the action in your art.
I can almost hear the drumming of a dragonfly’s wings over the pond on a lazy morning.
Andrew, as the other winner of the million Café visitor date contest, wait till yours arrives in New Zealand.
You have a treat in store even beyond your expectations.
Through a little digging I have found out that Ron still has these art prints for sale.
I have some of his earlier prints too, now out of print and collector items.
As Andrew and I were the lucky winners some of the less fortunate entrants in the contest might like to buy one anyway.
Without wanting to embarrass Ron, I'll let these folks know that my source tells me that they are currently available as hand signed copies for a very reasonable $35.00, plus $5.00 shipping and handling.
That’s very little cost for a lifetime treasure if you want to treat yourself or a loved one.
You might send Ron a PM through the forum for the details if you are interested.
Or you can go to the FEGA forum, www.fega.com and click on “Engravers and Photos†on the left side, click on “FEGA Certified Professionals†and click on Ron Smith to see his address if you want to send an order and payment directly to him.
Best wishes to all, John B.
