You're so funny Paddy. Loved your addition to the "Bubbles The Rat" story! Hey maybe this is the hole they all escaped into? (Not knowing it was a barrel)! HA! I might just use that idea later if you don't!

Wonderful old barrel with tons of character here. You have a keen eye for finding peeling paint and cool rust dear one!

Patrick- You are one of the artist that inspired me to try my hand at getting out of my comfort zone and doing pictures like this. This is a fabulous examaple of why we all should. If I was asked to give a one word answer as to what makes Patrick Rouzes pictures stand out, it would have to be the word texture. You mastery of it makes each picture just stand out and be notices. Love the colors here, that hole in the barrel makes it extra speical. Lighting is fantastic. I especially love the grain of the wood in contract to the color and texture of the metal band.
Beautiful work my friend.
Have a great day, enjoy. #8586118
