Oil Painting for the shop

[Josh Dabney]

Hey Dogs,

A couple weeks back I got really inspired by the photo of a painting Mace Vitale posted on his Facebook page. The painting was an anvil and donated as a raffle item at a hammer-in I believe. Long story short I've had an oil paint set and some canvas hanging around for a couple years I never touched so I thought I'd give a shot at making myself something to hang out in the shop.

Done. Of course I forgot the Hardy and pritchel holes but I think I'll leave it as-is anyway-

Take care Dogs ! Had fun with this so I thought I'd share

Nice work. While looking at this I got to thinking what kind of "art" I had in my shop. It pretty much consist of an old license plate collection, a rodeo banner and a metal sculpture of a rainbow trout that came from my dads shop!
