Well, of course we forgot the camera again, but thanks to our buddy Rick Hilgner, I got pictures of mine and my husband Apricot Mantle’s pieces at the Hive Gallery & Studios from this October’s Art Walk. It was the coolest show I have seen yet because it was a Tarot card themed group show! I am very excited also that mine sold!

5×7″ Graphite & color pencil on paper

Notes:
This was for my cousin Danielle Turnipseed’s Bridal shower gift. Those are her cats Meeko & Roo, she had oak leaves as a motif in her wedding and blue is her favorite color.

Gonna have a skull in the show as well as last years skull! crewest.com
