Pay it Forward

My caring and auto-savvy bishop kindly posed as a man whose car breaks down on a country road on the way to an appointment, and he has no idea how to fix it or what to do.
An old pickup truck drove by, and the driver stopped to help the man. I found the model for this by who owned this great old bronze pickup truck.
When the car was fixed, the man offered to pay the mechanic for his services, but the stranger kindly refused. He told him instead to go and help another person, and to pass it on.

Thanks Neal and Bishop for posing. You did great!

A Boy and His Dog

This story is simply about a dog greeting a boy as he comes home from college, and how pets can be a part of the family. I felt that about my dog Butch as I grew up--sometimes he was the only person I could confide in! I had two days to produce this painting due to a mix-up, but I was glad it turned out okay. Thanks Barbara and Ethan for your quick response!

Metro Music

A writer for the Washington Post decided to conduct an experiment. He asked Joshua Bell, one of the world's most famous violinists, to play for 45 minutes in a subway station in Washington, D. C. During that time, only seven people stopped to listen. What else are we missing?
