I wanted to share with you this artwork that I was priveledged to be a part of. Mike Mitten and I had a conversation that turned to a desire to create something that would forever help tell a story about two very special people. Though people say, they would laugh at the notion they were legends, they truely were. Mike gave me an oppurtunity to share in this story by etching this in stone to remember the countless stories that came before and after Paul and Bart met one another. They touched the lives of many people and have left cherished memories wherever they happened to be. Mike also fed my passion as we are connected with similar spirits as brothers of the bow, with different gifts in life. As much as I love the thought of adventure in the wilderness with my bow, I also love the thought of creating works through my hands that will stand the test of time. I can't thank Mike enough, I've enjoyed this more than words can speak. Truely an awesome pleasure to work with and know him. Sharing his perspective with Ellen and I on the soon to be released Essential Encounters film and other topics were inspiring to say the least. Seeing these moving Primal Dreams films have allowed me to enjoy seeing and hearing from others how much they're hearts were touched from viewing these beautiful works of art. Very Well Done! I own 8 copies that I share with others, I usually only have a copy or two available at home for myself. Thank you.
Sincerely, Kenn Paulson

Quite a talent you have there. Beautiful work.
Well-done!
Great piece of one-of-a-kind art, Kenn.
Like I said in the Sponser Class Truly AMAZING
Kenn is a TG sponsor, so please contact him if any of you have ideas for your own personal memories for your selves and your family. I plan to use Kenn's artistry myself to lock those special moments and feelings in stone. Photos do not do Kenn's skills justice. The "Lasting Smiles" granite work he did for me is magnificent, and to think its all done with a diamond etcher similar to a dremel. Mike
Man thats awesome!

Thanks for sharing, very nice!
Wow... that is some fine looking art there.
:thumbsup:
Again, I thank all of you for your kind words and support! It is the desire of my heart to help those who would have me help them capture cherished memories that will last forever. My thoughts and passion are to preserve pieces of history for all of us who love this way of life. Creating works for private collections or public display is very fulfilling, creating works that raise funds to help others is something I feel I was created for. If anyone would like to sponsor artwork for a museum or fund raiser I would be honored to work with you. All of us, men and women who come to Tradgang seem to be very passionate people, very willing to share from the heart. I love being interconnected with you all! I love knowing I have so many brothers and sisters of the bow out there. So many awesome people! Thanks again!
Sincerely, Kenn Paulson
