Puttin’ on Daubs
[?]
Submitted by Gurney Journey
One day Edgar Payne was painting outdoors, far from any sign of habitation. He was surprised to find a man behind him, watching.
Then the man said, “ Why that’s nuthin but puttin’ on daubs!”
A little later the man shook his head and said, “But you sure gotta know where to put them daubs!” and walked away.
