That is an outstanding painting, Christian!

He that would make his own liberty secure, must guard even his enemy from oppression; for if he violates this duty, he establishes a precedent that will reach to himself.

Very nice, it's got that old school naturalist quality to it. Was it freehand or painted onto a trace?

You will ALWAYS walk out of there with a great card/gift combo that your woman will squeal in delight over.And its not a wallet buster.

That is like the time homer simpson gave marge a bowling ball, with the name 'homer' engraved on it.

That would not go over in my house at all.
