[@sarahdesireehowie7775]

youll always have a place in my heart. beautiful babe..so happy for you.

[@tomkilcullen5421]

It's amazing what a roll of wire,a loving heart and vision of what you want can do with a piece of discarded metal. You'll be in my prayers and as an old cowboy poet who's traveled the same trail you have, I see what you see only I use words. One step,one arc of weld,one finished piece, the use of the word therapy is an understatement. You go boy and good in ya .

[@goudeaunurse]

Bless you, Ray -- I just LOVE your art! You say it is "almost spiritual". Your work and art ARE spiritual, Good Boy! 😉❣

[@harveymontgomery5087]

AS s former Houston police officers it is always good to see people like Ray turn from a life of crime and turn his life around. I am very proud of Ray for finding himself.

I'm glad he finally got it, I know it took me a while... Art is Life as it's reflection of the Maker.

Said it before and will say it again.......I LOVE TEXAS! Sadly my Mother and Brother "progressives" in California, hate it, they call me 'Redneck'.

Amazing Artist!!! WTG Ray!!!

[@alancummings4304]

Good job Ray . Wish I had your courage to do the same. take care

[@seamikki6510]

That's beautiful Ray, I too found my artistic side in my later years. Dumpster diving is the best!!! (ps plz wear ear plugs when hammering etc😉)

[@jameswells-uk6qu]

When he said he was a bad boy..those words come from bad patents telling a very young child he is bad....that's my perspective anyway..and they grow up doing bad things..hope he continues on the "good boy" path!

[@ediebluntzer5185]

art has the power to renew one's faith in God---don't ever look back

[@Recycledsalvage13]

thanks

[@ediebluntzer5185]
