Can I just say how much I love the internet? I mean, look at this photo. You cannot be sad while looking at this photo. You cannot be angry looking at this photo. All you can really do is squee with delight and wonder at the cuteness that is in this photo. I don't know who's dog this is, or who took this photo or who knitted the little pot hat for that tiny dog, but I LOVE IT SO MUCH.

Anyway, I was feeling pretty bummed out about a lot of things, mostly money, this morning until I saw this photo and started to hysterically laugh to the point that I forgot what I was sad about until just this minute.

I started this painting yesterday and I think it's almost done. 

I want to go work on the sky a bit more and the bridge still needs some work, but I have to wait for the paint to dry first. Waiting for paint to dry is the story of my life.

It's been an okay week so far. Still very rainy. Still very grey. I know I'm going to miss this weather when it's 100 degrees outside, but a little sunshine and warmth would feel really good right now. 

I worked on this illustration Saturday. It's of the "Witch House" located on the Lower Macleay Trail in Forest Park. I did a little process photo shoot while I worked on it. The 

Google Photo ap strings all the photos together to create this little animated photo collage.

I think I need to work on taking a few more in between shots but I thought it looked pretty cool.

I left my copy of The Wind Up Bird Chronicle by Murakami at the vet's office last week. I didn't realize that I had left it there until I got home, and it's a 45 minute drive, so I didn't go back to get it. I have to go back in 2 weeks for Chloe's eye check up so I figured I'd just wait until then to get it. I'm really mad that I forgot it there because I really enjoy it so far.

In the mean time, I've been reading Boy, Snow, Bird by Helen Oyeyemi. It's SO GOOD. I started it on Friday and I only have a few pages left. It's about family, race and identity. I love it. So, if you're looking for a new good book to read, I recommend this one!
