Images from a WEEEKEEEEND

Beautiful, weekend, up, here. I walked a lot, the weekend flew by, but in a good way. Took myself on a ferry boat adventure, made my toes happy by letting them dip into the ocean. First Friday is an art night, and there is a band here called "maine marimba band" ....awesome.

hey! crits not so bad!

so, I thought I'd share some images of the before and after, including the donuts that I bought for everyone from this amazing donut shop here....also, it went well. I think. I had questions, they had questions, I wasn't drummed outta town for not being an artist, and a few of my works were given a lot of attention. I am a bit tentative about my work, though, and showing it, so I need to get braver. I need a parrot to teach phrases to like "you're great!" and "awesome work"...ha ha. Anyway, I'm still here. yay.
amazing donuts including sweet potato and salted chocolate. I'm not kidding!

my audience eating donuts....


AFTER!!

Charley (she's my roommate and she is really great) took notes for me


the notes..including books...which I haven't read yet.
