Hey Joel! Found you through Holli in Ghana. Had to go to Africa to find a fellow Californian. :)
Love your featured art. I definitely be following. You make me feel like I'm at a museum. Speaking of which, what are the odds you could pull together a Wayne Thiebaud exhibit? My daughter and I are wild fans but it's SO hard to lay hold of any but his simpler works, like his food. What we're in love with are his works featuring San Francisco and also his extraordinary landscapes. He's still living. Wish we could meet him.
Oh, and nice to meet YOU! Blessings. :)
The sentence that says, "I definitely be following" should be corrected to reflect the contraction "I'll." Another proof, as if I needed one, that one should ALWAYS read what one writes! :)
(And I didn't mean an actual exhibit but rather a retrospective you featured on your blog.) *sigh* Perhaps it's time to be done for the day. lol
postcard your monkey is the best can i make wedding souvenir ??
Just visted your blog from Drawn.
I really enjoy all the wonderful posts!! Keep up the great posts!
Monkeys! It’s adorable! I love the sports monkey.
I love the different activities of these monkeys, very athletic monkeys.
It’s beautiful monkey art.
Thanks for dropping by, Joel. You'll LOVE Thiebaud I'm thinkin'! :)
