Year: 2008

I’m proud of myself today. Not that I am particularly impressed with the art I produced (several quick sketches with oil pastels), but that’s OK. The exciting part is that I managed to keep up with AEDM even while traveling for 5 days! OK, that may not sound very exciting to you, but to me … Read more

I’m looking forward to participating in Art Every Day Month, starting tomorrow.
