Little side project- it's called "I Actually Found My Husband On Craigslist." Haha, whether or not it makes it into the show, I still rather like it.

Alrighty! I'm back in the studio! First order of business (after giving my palette a thorough cleaning): a painting for the First Day Shoe Fund in Kalamazoo.

Well that was an interesting experience! Big thanks to my crew for helping man my booth this weekend, and for going to the No Kings march in my stead!
