Fletch Crangle, who did exactly what I should do at these things: PAINT. I hate standing around at receptions making small talk and have only just learned how.

Susanna Starr -- "Sponge Study"


With my Utica art scene posse member Sarah Burns!


With Mark Golden! who gave me an OK to soak up ideas & take them home to my own efforts.


With Emma and Barb Golden! who played right along with the "look horrified!" theme. 
Next time we do Elevator Practice pictures! Like you're in an elevator looking up at the numbers, waiting for your floor  ;D


One of my own efforts, done a year ago today as part of a commission that served as the basis for a demonstration video of Golden Artist Colors' acrylic ground for pastels. Check it out below!
