Most of you know that Mr. Handsome makes oil and acrylic paintings as a hobby. We have enjoyed traveling around the Nashville area to different art shows and town festivals to sell his works of art. He has also displayed his paintings at coffee shops and other venues across the city. He started with landscapes and has since branched out to a variety of other subjects, including musical instruments, ships, abstract paintings, animals, and skylines. And for Christmas, he painted a portrait of me.
For the past couple months, he has been working on paintings to display at a venue in New York City. After many nights spent burning the midnight oil, he finished yesterday. This afternoon, we packaged the paintings up into three large boxes and dropped them off at UPS. It was kind of bittersweet to say goodbye to two dozen of his best paintings, but we are hopeful that some will sell. And it’s exciting to be able to say that he displayed his art in New York City. Little Buddy enjoyed laying on a blanket on the floor while daddy did many of the paintings.
Just curious 😊: does he sign the paintings Mr handsome or by his real name?
He has a fancy, curvy signature. 🙂
Cool! Will you be able to visit the exhibition in NYC?
We are thinking that we might visit to pick up the paintings.
That would be a nice occasion to see the city! 😉
Happy Fathers Day Mr. Handsome and how exciting for you. I hope your paintings sell, and I love the fireplace.
Thank you, Benita!
Congratulations, Mr. H! That is so cool. I love going to local art fairs. Will you be heading to New York to see them on display?
Thanks, JG! We haven’t decided, but we might go out there to pick them up.

Maybe he can connect with “The Jazz Dentist” up there. Has (had?) a place near the Washington Square arch. Plays the sax. Not while drilling and filling, but that’s his handle.
That sounds fun. We will have to look him up if we go to NYC!
Ellie
It’s awesome that his paintings will be sold in New York. He has done some great work. Do you have any pictures of the ones he chose to send. I’d love to see some. Keep us updated on his venture.
Thanks, Barb! We took pictures of the paintings we sent, and I’ll post those soon. He did a really neat one of the Brooklyn Bridge that I absolutely LOVE.

That is a post I look forward to Ellie. Always enjoy and appreciate Mr H’s art. Eileen
Congratulations to both of you. His success is a team effort!
Hmmm….. going there to pick the paintings up? What!! Think positive! You said 2 dozen were being shipped to sell. LOL! You might be going to New York to pick up a cheque! Happy Fathers Day Mr H. I hope it was a special first Fathers Day for you. Congrats on the arts venue. I believe you will do very well. Eileen
You’re right, Eileen! 🙂 And Mr. Handsome says thanks for the Father’s Day wishes. He had a great day.
Ellie
Congratulations Mr. Handsome. Hope you had a good Father’s Day. God Bless.

Thank you very much! Had a good celebration with my wife and son.
Mr. H
HAY WHERE’S MY COW??????
Someone bought him, but Mr. H sent another one to NYC. 🙂
He sent my cow to NY, I am sad, cause he is never going to graze in my field!!!!!!
Have you ever been to NYC? I hope you get to go. It is beyond amazing!
I went a long time ago and really enjoyed it. We walked the entire time and had a blast. Saw lots of great things. Mr. Handsome hasn’t been.
Sounds like this will be a good venture for you. Hope you have a positive experience! I would love to see some pictures as well!
Mr Handsome is a ball of fire.
Did he ever get around to painting some bird pictures for baby Buddy’s bedroom? Would like to see those displayed. Also you should update your Nashville Wife header to include the baby! Maybe a family photo in front of your new house!
He hasn’t painted pictures for the nursery yet, but hopefully soon. We have a new photo for be header. Just need to switch it out!
