🐱Peeko with my white jasmine flower art (not one I’d submitted) Today I entered a couple of my own original paintings into the Boston Museum of Fine Arts Exhibition for Abstract Art.

Two Photos from Today’s First Half of the Day

How the sky looked when I was just waking up; it was a momentary blush that really thrilled me enough. My latest poem I wrote today, and then another. […]
