NEW painting and new show - Hammered & Nailed in Hartford, CT
Tuesday afternoon, a friend told me about an open-submission art show this coming weekend -- and that the setup dates were Wednesday and Thursday! So I had to rush to get my arse in gear and get something ready for it. I had a partially-started canvas, and I decided I'd finish it up. I added the final touches to it sometime around noon on Wednesday, May 25th.

Sleep
I think I finally figured out why I can fall asleep more easily during the day. It's the sound of birdsong at dawn. It makes the world feel like a safe, peaceful place, if only for a short time.
