PRrrretty, HAPPY BIRTHDAY:woot:Where cake, Yubba hungry.

the cake is a lie

Thank you mates. My birthday was in the 16 of this month, there was a thread here about it.
My father give me the second painting yesterday. He likes to paint to rest and relaxation, and fun. He does mainly water colors, since it was what he learn more. Has I say, he can draw and paint and I can not do a strait line. He was a son of a tailor and a seamstress/dressmaker and he can not sew, I can sew even with a old pedal sewing machine...

@matador.es, the first paint he drew from a picture (as the second) but the picture is from a ww1 boat, that he did a turm from the type VII, my father didn't know the mistake. The second is also from a photo from one of the u-boat books that I have.

Yubba ALWAYS hungry! This not about cake, about boat and water. Watch pretty water. It rolls back and forth. Back and forth. Yubba go back to sleep now. :O:

Happy B-Day And what great presents. :yep:..:up:

Brilliant presents Rhodes! You've made a few people jealous.:woot:
