My husband and I moved two weeks ago, and though we unpacked a fair amount, our new apartment is still filled with a sea of boxes. The studio, alas, is no exception. While I search for proper furniture for the space and new places for my paints and brushes (we lost a significant amount of shelving space when we moved), I've been playing with basic supplies and black and white.

School Visit
This week I'm doing my first school visit for A Penguin Named Patience at my old elementary school. I've been prepping a presentation for the kids with loads of pictures and drawings of the book as well as work I did when I was at Lakeville elementary.
