My Ben Hur Hand Drill

6"x4" oil on door skin panel • Ben Hur is such a robust name for such a diminutive drill—I do not know if it is even a foot long—but that is the name stamped on the side. It is kind of like a Charlton Heston Mini-Me. Size aside, the tool feels great in my hands. A little loose, but well balanced and well worn. I love tools. • I apologize for slacking off somewhat with my posts. The Beverly Hills Art Show is coming up next month (yes, they judged me in again and Yikes! it is in just three weeks) and I am working on a possible solo show for 2015. We will see how it pans out, but all this makes me hyper to paint or, at the least, yell at The Spawn a lot. Not that they listen—I would get more reaction from the bird bath if I yelled at it. So, I may slack off a bit with my posts every now and then. • Now, excuse me while I go outside and yell at the bird bath.
