Thanksgiving 2011...The first dinner at our home.


This is the first Thanksgiving my wife and I are hosting at our home.   So we went all out!  My wife has done an outstanding job decorating our tables (she's AMAZING!),  I did caricatures of everyone for place settings.   My wife's and mine were in the previous post.  Here are photos of our tables and the other caricatures.
A shot of the adult's table.
The kid's table.  My wife applied chalkboard contact paper
and provided chalk for them to "draw" what they're thankful for.
After all, they are eating at an artist's house.
The caricatures of my kids (Corey and Braden), and my family.  Cousins, Aunts, Uncles, Papaw(Jack) and Mamaws, (Edna & Dinah)...Click to enlarge.

Happy Thanksgiving 2011!

Happy Thanksgiving from yours truly.

Gateway Christian School Auction

Dr. William Boyd Bingham, III
Pastor, Binghamtown Baptist Church
On November 19th I set up to do live caricatures to benefit the Gateway Christian School, (sorry, no photos, it was so busy, there was simply no time to snap any photos) a ministry of my church, Binghamtown Baptist Church in Middlesboro, KY.  God blessed me to use the talent he so graciously gave me to do 40 face caricatures in 8 hours, in both color and B&W.   That raised $880 for the school.  Prior to the event I did the above caricature of my pastor and framed it to use as a display,  someone asked if I'd be willing to allow it to be auctioned and I agreed.  Much to my surprise it auctioned for $1,000!!!!   Praise God for the AMAZING things he does!
