“Juneau in Wild Sunflowers” Is Finished!

December 7, 2025 Today, I used one of the cards from the set of cards my friend, Jeanne from ajeanneinthekitchen.com, had made with her beautiful photos. I (and Nox) put the print of Possy the Possum in with the card to send to Tom (and Reiko). After lunch, I started working on “Juneau in Wild […]

The Winter Art Market at the Tennessee Valley Museum of Art
