MY SON WAS A JUNIOR (17) IN HIGH SCHOOL. HIS ART TEACHER AND HIS MOTHER BEGGED HIM TO ENTER.    HE DID AND HE WON ONE OF THREE SPOTS.DEER, RABBIT AND BIRD. HIS DRAWING CAN NOW BE FOUND ON EVERY HUNTING LICENSE BOUGHT WITH A DUCK STAMP ON IT. IT ALSO HUNG IN THE BIRMINGHAM MUSEUM OF FINE ARTS FOR A MONTH OR SO. MY WIFE AND I WERE AS PROUD OF HIM AS WE'VR EVER BEEN.     LAST WEEK, ON AUGUST 20, 2008, HE HAD BACK SURGERYAND IS GOING TO BE OUT OF WORK FOR AS LONG AS 3 MONTHS. HE DOESN'T DO ART FULL TIME. HE WORKS WITH MOLTEN STEEL AT A CASTING PLANT. HE'S MARRIED AND HAS 4 LITTLE GIRLS, MY GRAND BABIES. THEY LIVE IN THE CITY OF CULLMAN, WHICH IS WHERE I WAS BORN IN 1946. HE'S TOO PROUD TO ASK FOR HELP BUT HE DID GIVE ME PERMISSION TO SELL THIS DRAWING. HE SAYS HE HAS IT IN HIS HEAD.     HE ALSO DID A DRAWING TITLED " THE OLD MAN IN THE TREE" WHICH WAS AGAINST THE DRUG CULTURE THAT WAS SO PREVALENT AT THAT TIME. IT TOO HUNG IN THE MUSEUM OF FINE ARTS, BUT SINCE, IT HAS SOME MINOR WATER DAMAGE AND I NEVER PUT IT IN A FRAME. IT HANGS ON THE WALL OF MY HOME.      HE'S NEVER SOLD A DRAWING. HE HAS PAINTED SIGNS ALL OVER WARRIOR AND NORTH ALABAMA. HIS SIGNS ARE BECOMING KIND OF LEGENDARY AND HE'S ONLY 30 YEARS OLD.      I'M LISTING THIS BECAUSE HE NEEDS THE MONEY.THE DRAWING IS THE ORIGINAL. I'VE KEPT IT ALL THESE YEARS. IT IS FRAMED IN A WOOD FRAME BEHIND GLASS. ALSO, BEHIND THE GLASS YOU WILL FIND THE THREE ITEMS IN THE PICTURE. THE ENTRY FORM, THE "THANKS FOR YOUR ENTRY AND THE AWARD CERTIFICATE.      MY SON IS A GOOD GUY AND I APPRECIATE YOUR EFFORT IN GETTING HIM THROUGH THIS. I'M DOING WHAT I CAN BUT I'M RETIRED AND CAN'T DO AS MUCH AS I USED TO. BESIDES, YOU'LL BE GETTING A VERY NICE LOOKING PIECE OF ART AND CONVERSATION.     THANKS FOR LISTENING AND PRAY FOR " MATT "        HIS DAD AND NUMBER ONE FAN....GUITDRIVE Place a Bid!
