A fellow member,The Iron Duke ,was kind enough to send me a private e-mail,and boy o boy am I glad he did. It contained news,well fantastic news actually concerning my friend Blucher1815red. Now to many older long term members they will well remember this great guy and the work he produced a few years back.
As a member on the Forum before myself it was Blucher, who actually encouraged little o`ll me to post my first topic even though he had never seen my work or my eccentric ways. I referred to myself while talking to Blucher, As a Norfolk Bumkin,because I saw no real worth in my work that others would wish to view.Later I described myself as the Fiddle Wood Gnome to him and others on the Forum. I was in a sense looking for an identity then on line.So yesterday on You Tube he mentioned for the many that I am known as Beano Boy,but to him I still am that Fiddle Wood Gnome. Call it kindred spirit or what ever,we Blucher and I,became friends years ago while doing figure conversions.
Now for reasons near and dear to him alone he vanished from the Forum and You Tube as well. Although he has often paid us a visit which was nice.
He`s posted two new video`s on You Tube,and that`s a good start in my book,because it takes a certain kind of courage to face the camera after such a long absence and to also start painting again.
I realise that many of you do not visit You Tube, but If you are interested in encouraging a fellow member back upon the roadway into the hobby,just Google Blucher1815red and it will take you to You Tube,and a nice pleasant guy.
In friendly banter I guess some might say he has a lot to answer for,for recommending that I post a little of my stuff here in the first place.
"You may well want to take that up with him."As for my identity on line I believe BB,has settled well upon my head.
