A "dry" one!

I spent some time yesterday making wet cyanotypes. They are pure alchemy. ✨ I read somewhere that if cyanotypes fade due to the sun, they can actually be stored in the dark for a time period to restore their original cyan color. So fascinating.

Other bits of May

I had the pleasure of doing this pet portrait commission of a lovely dog, Ruby! Painting her beautiful face was a joy! ✨

My favorite piece in the show, Looking Over or Overlooking, by Jessie McCormick

My absolute favorite meal in the 4-state area, the Rainbow Roll from Tokyo Japanese Steak and Sushi. It's so good. Every time.

Villageless, Oil on Gesso Board

We had a great time in Fort Smith this weekend at the reception for Beasts of the Imagination at Fort Smith Regional Art Museum. My painting, Villageless, will be on display there until September. I had never been to Fort Smith until this weekend and I was thrilled to discover it’s full of great food and public art!

We found so many amazing Asian restaurants there.. on the left is Pho Vietnam and on the right, Mai Pad Thai Cuisine.

During all this, the Steel Horse motorcycle rally was happened to be going on in Ft. Smith, so that was fun to experience.
