Last Weekend at Books and Books
This is the last weekend my paintings will be on display at Books and Books. Last night, D and I went to take a look— as usual Books and Books was hopping. Their bar was full, the courtyard packed, and beautiful live Brazilian music filled the courtyard on a nice warm fall night in Miami….
