Attic nest measuring 3 feet by 8 feet contained an estimated 800K bees.
“Being a representational painter I am constantly striving to paint as I see things, the values, colors and textures I see before me. As easy as this may sound, I have found painting from life, especially landscapes, to be one of the most challenging and rewarding things I have ever tried. It’s a constant process of learning and experimenting and painting, painting, painting. — I am not sure I do this because of my love of art or of my love of the land.They have become indivisible for me. One in the same.” Kevin Menck was born and raised in Middle Tennessee. After graduating from art school, he worked briefly as a designer and then as a self-employed illustrator for 15 years. “Working as an illustrator helped me develop skills that are fundamental to what I do now, especially drawing. The ability to draw is the foundation to everything.” In 2002 Kevin met and befriended local painter Jason Saunders. “Jason was very instrumental to my development as an artist. He introduced me to the basics of landscape painting and also instilled in me the importance of painting from nature. Nature is the best teacher I’ve had.”Kevin is now committed to painting the landscape “en plein air.” Being an avid outdoorsman for years, Kevin has a deep love and respect for the outdoors. “I remember sitting in a duck blind or deer stand and trying to figure out how to capture what I was seeing on canvas. To get that atmosphere, to make a cold day look cold and hot days hot. I want the viewer to look at it and know what it actually was to be there.” Kevin lives and works in Nashville.

Um zu zeigen, das die Baggerschaufel mit Spindelantrieb funktioniert, habe ich diesen kleinen Film eingestellt. Da solche Anbaugeräte im Maßstäben unter 1:32...
This is the Thursday night class demo and I let them work on an exercise until about 8:00 then asked if they wanted a demo and flew in and got this done in a little over thirty minutes. They were cleaned up and ready to go by nine. These under the gun demos are actually kind of fun because it is a very intuitive way to paint. You really can't over think anything. Mix and apply. The mountains you see there are in the Cumberland mountains on the Kentucky Tennessee border. I had gone up there to the Royal Blue Wildlife Management Area about three years ago to paint for a week. It is some of the roughest country I have been in both culturally and geographically. I actually knocked the exhaust out from under my truck on what they consider roads. They are these little coal company roads hanging on the sides of the mountains with these giant coal trucks coming and going. While I was there I attempted to paint the scene you see in the post. I made a royal mess out of it. When I think back about that trip I don't know that I actually had one or two paintings that were decent and the rest just horrible. I keep telling my students about these moments you have in your career when you realize how far you have come and the things that you found so difficult a year or so ago you wade through now. However, it also seems the more I learn the more I realize how much more I have to learn. I actually hope I never loose that because ultimately it seems to be what keeps most of us coming back again, and again. No finish line.
This scale 1:13 combo is part of my LEGO heritage. The truck was built in 2003 already and I finalized the Menck M154 excavator early 2004. That means it’s 20 years old now and I still have it. Ever since the beginning I didn’t change the truck and trailer. The only thing I did was replacing discolored elements for new ones, especially the white pieces of which some turned into yellow during the years. And about 20 years ago Bricklink only existed for a couple of years and I was fortunate to acquire the missing pieces via that source. However, the number of shops wasn’t as big it is nowadays. I also remember I had bought quite some second hand parties during the late 90s, early 00s. I also saw it in this model when I replaced some elements by new ones. It’s interesting to see how satisfied I was with the result then (and still am). A lot of elements didn’t exist but even though I still think it is quite a nice model which comes close to the real thing. Using tiles on the exterior wasn’t a common thing either and there weren’t many available. But with many visible studs it truly is showing something from another decade. The excavator had some technical changes the years after but the exterior remained. The motors are the old 9V motors. It’s still functional except the swinging mechanism; one of the wires is completely eaten out. Somewhere during the 90s LEGO really had bad quality of electrical wires. Even the decals are still original, as well as on the truck. Until about 10 years ago I only took outdoor pictures of my models. Advantages a natural light but it’s difficult to find suitable spots. I took some studio pictures of this model once but never took some of loading/unloading the trailer as shown here. Once I was thinking of building a “modern style” equivalent but I don’t think I should do. A fresh will look much better but the genuine model do has a lot of appeal. In 2006 I built as second copy of the truck and sold it to the owner. I don’t know what happened with that copy. I think I’ll keep the whole combo for another 10 years!
