While in McCook, Nebraska last weekend we were able to see three baseball games and visit the art department. It was fun to see Blake and the McCook Indians play ball.
The highlight of the trip for my wife and I and Blake's grandma and grandpa was a chance to visit the art department and see some of Blake's recent creations. We were able to see a painting that Blake has been working on for some time and see his newest creation. Also, we were treated to his girl friend Kendra's newest painting.
Some of you have seen Blake's elk painting below because he has had a partially finished version on his cell phone for a while. I don't know if he ever considers his paintings finished...but this one looks done to me.
This is mainly a picture of Blake's girlfriend Kendra. What a nice smile Kendra! And a great personality to match. Oh, and the paintings. These two are holding a very nice painting that Kendra is just finishing up. I love humming birds and she has done a really nice job with this one. The painting on the left is one Blake is currently working on and is also pictured below.
Blake and I went on our first Canadian adventure together when he was 7 years old. This was a really special trip because we were able to go with both of this grandpas and some uncles. On this trip, Blake's Grandpa Huns (pictured along with his lovely wife Linda below) took a really neat picture from the point of our island campsite. This painting in the works is Blake's rendition of that picture. Having been to this spot many times, he is doing a terrific job of capturing the look and feel of the Canadian experience. I have a feeling this one may hang in his grandparents house someday soon.
