Dear Wendel

You are most welcome to our little forum.  Thank you for your post. You have probably read the threads by now and are aware of our modest proposal - subject to you and family approval - to commission a 'trophy' in memory of Aart.

Like the majority of members I never met Aart, but I appreciated his wit and the humour he brought to our forum.

We would love to hear your thoughts on this memorial trophy  proposal.

Yours sincerely

James aka Sunray

Thank you for welcoming me. I won't be coming here quite often, this was Aarts thing and although I supported him as much as possible (I once called a tree he made from scratch a turd on a stick, at first he was quite annoyed but later on he told me I was right and he was happy with my input because otherwise he would have cut a sorry figure), I rather paint on bigger things then some tiny casted figures.

However I wanted to let you know that the reactions here did put a smile on my face and if you have any questions you know where to find me now and I'm will be happy to reply.

This is one of the latest pictures of Aart:


And this is in the summer before he got ill:

Dear Sunray and other members,

I think it's a nice way of remembering and honouring him, he really loved painting the figures. I think Aart himself would have laughed his ass of by the idea, he always was quite humble about his own skills (maybe not on the forum, I don't know that) but I think he would have felt honoured as well.
Have fun with it! I'm pretty curious of the results!
