  • Jupiter Buttons

    Yesterday, I attended a space-themed birthday party. I wanted something nice to wear, so I got some buttons from a thrift store and painted over them with acrylic.

  • An Afternoon Painting

    An afternoon of painting with Mike O. He made a self portrait. I think he has a talent for rendering fabric. That’s not easy to do.
