Willie Nelson, at Benders Tavern, Denver
Wednesday, August 4th, 2010
I drove into Denver tonight to see Lukas Nelson & Promise of the Real, and Micah Nelson and his band the Reflectacles, at Benders Tavern. The walls were full of familiar faces: Willie Nelson, Johnny Cash, Hank Williams, etc. Pancho and Lefty was on the jukebox when I walked in.

Willie Nelson Art, by Greek Artist Daniela Nikolova
Tuesday, June 29th, 2010
Thanks to artist and Willie Nelson fan Daniela Nikolova, from Greece, for sharing this picture taken of her in Stuttgart, Germany, where she travelled to see Willie Nelson and Family. She’s pictured here with a beautiful painting she made of Willie, as a gift for Willie.
She’s a big Paula Nelson fan, too, and sent Paula a fan letter:
“Hi Paola!!! Congratulation for your music!!! I love the music that your Daddy makes too and I just heart your songs. You are a very talented family!!! A few days ago I was in Stuttgard-Germany where Willie had a concert (I am from Greece and travelled to Germany just for HIM) To see and listen to HIM was my dream from childhood!!! I am an artist and was made a painting for Willie, BUT… the guards didn’t let me give it to him. So I gave the painting to one of the people in the second bus.”

You can own a Willie Nelson wax sculpture
Saturday, June 12th, 2010
Up for Auction: Willie Nelson. Legendary country singer-songwriter, author, and poet, the figure wears signature blue jeans, leather belt, jean jacket, open collar white shirt, black t-shirt, and red bandana. Made by Logan Fleming, the figure feathres a sculpted wax head portrait painted in oil. Stands approximately 6 ft. 1 in. tall. $2,000 – $3,000
I have my own collection of Willie Nelson stuff, but this would be just too weird to have standing in a room. But I’ve always been creeped out by wax museums, etc. I wouldn’t mind a bronze scupluture, though.
I admit I have bid on a cardboard cutout of Willie Nelson before, like this one travelling with Dee and Alice, at Atlanta airport. I still don’t know how he got that whiskey bottle on the plane. Maybe he picked it up at the duty free shop.

If you have ever visited the Truck Stop at Carl’s Corner, Texas, you have probably seen the beautiful artwork by Texas artist Lamberto. You can also view his art at his website, and in his gallery, in Southlake, Texas. He has other portraits of Willie Nelson and other stars at his website, along with picture of other unique original art at his site.

Lamberto is so creative, and uses his talents so uniquely in a wide variety of media. To see more of his art, or to contact Lamberto, visit his site at www.Lamberto.com.
