True talent is a great gift. Your talent is without question Crossbow.

Great work.

 

[Ridge Runner]

Dave.. Very nice work.

 

[ERSS]

Looks great,
I'm sure it will do well at the banquet

 

[ridge]

That is a cool looking painting

 

[Moosie]

How much do you think it will go for ?
Will it be framed ?
What will the Dimentions in inches be on he painting ?

Whats your real name ? I don't see it signed on the print ?!?? Will it be a #'ed print or what ?

 

[DaveHawk]

Moose I just got back from the Nationals game with my 3 son's and my brain can't think that much right not. I do know the Nat's beat the Cub's 10-6

It will be framed
not sure about the dimentions yet.
limited edition of 100
How much will it go for. I have no clue!

I'm deciding if I should go by Dave Hawk or Dave Hawksford
maybe mdcrossbow LOL
I never though about how to sign off. Being a student of art I've seen where artist sign off useing a stage name and but the better ones use their real name. I will probably use my real name.

 

[elk_hunter]

Wow. Impressive. I'd take one of those if it didn't cost an arm and a leg...very nice indeed!

 

[DaveHawk]

I'll know Monday what the price will be. I'll let you know.

 

[Moosie]

Looks like a loaded banquet, lots of trips, etc. Was the RMEF Southern Idaho State Chair for a few years, seen my share of banquets. This one looks like a good one, let us know how it turns out.

 

[mdcrossbow]

ERSS I've been to one of them 3 years ago and I won a Tikka 270.

Moose I joined a number of years ago when you 1st started the forum and for some reason I lost contact then when I got my new computer I join up again as mdcrossbow. Forgetting about Dave Hawk. But somehow DaveHawk popped back up. So no you did drink to much LOL

 

[Moosie]

Dave hawk.... YAh, We have a Mike Hawk on here. but I haven't seen Mike Hawk in a long time. Has anyone else seen Mike Hawk ?

Let me know the Size of it.... I might have to bid on it

 

[JB]

[DaveHawk]

I just ran across this and thought I would let you all know that the print went for $250.00 It's the 1st print of mine that I have donated and I am happy with the results.

What medium did you do the original in?

 

[DaveHawk]

I used Colored Inks "FW" with # 1,2 & 3 size brushes. No mixing of color in the canvas.I like to apply each stroke with the color intended for the area.

 

[idnative1948]

All I can say is, "Wow!"
