Pat,
I was really looking forward to coming down to the show but now have a bit of a conflict. Its trout opening weekend that weekend and I had a friend ask the family to go camping and fishing for the weekend. Its looking like the fishing trip is going to win out. Our friends have had quite a bad year and I can't pass up the chance to spend some good times with them finally.

Maybe I can put a trip together to come visiting you and some of the shops down that way before the weather turns warm.

Geoff, Sorry I was really looking forward to talking more and seeing you paint but I just would not feel right not spending time with them.

If the weather is to cold for camping here that weekend we will still head down but otherwise I will be on the side of a stream.

I'm finishing up the decoy I will paint at the show...

It will look a lot like the one below. I will be painting it from stem to stern with oils for those who are interested in that process. I hope a bunch of folks pull up chairs and ask questions. See you soon!

Geoff, my friend, you're lucky I can't make it, or I'd sit in the front row and heckle you with questions like "What grit sand paper do you prefer?" or "How many sheets do you go through on a decoy that size?"

Enjoy the show to all of you that can make it...I'll be stuck at work.

Best
Chuck
 
Geoff - That will be awesome! At such a vintage show, I am very excited that all these traditional collectors will get to see a die hard traditional decoy maker. I believe there will be plenty of interest. Working on the same venue as Marty Hanson and Cameron McIntyre, you'll be in great company.

Brandon - Sorry to hear you can't make it. Come on down anytime... Pat

Coming from you Chuck, I'm sure Geoff would consider those to be serious questions, rather than heckling.
