I went to the Fremont Art Festival this weekend. As usual I stopped by the booth of a favorite artist, Richard Vest. He specializes in wildlife carvings. I have several of his pieces, which I love. I asked him about pricing on some carvings, saying I was thinking one might be nice for a PIF event we have to benefit members dealing with Cancer.
Before I could blink I had a Whale carving in my hands. His gift to our next PIF.
Sometimes basic human kindness really warms your heart.

He didn't ask for any promotional consideration or anything, but I'll post his link here so you can enjoy viewing some of his works.

In the game of biggest fish, if you can't enjoy routinely gettin' your ass handed to you, by great fishermen, then you don't belong in the NCKA.
