Thursday Threads: Ecclectic Mix Edition

Today’s edition of Thursday threads I am showing you my ensemble from today and yesterday. As you can see we’re in the thick of summer in Miami so you have to dress cool for outside and warm for inside (thanks to blasting A/C). One thing my drawing from today is not showing you is how…

The Queen Has Been Crowned

The Queen was crowned over the weekend! Here you have it, the final product. What do you think? Queen Elizabeth will be picked up after her owners get back from gay Paris! Need not fear I am starting to work on a few more paintings this week…and I think today’s outfit will be a part…
