A Little More "Rise and Shine" and Scenes from the Reception

I said all it needed was my signature ... but changed my mind. Still love it.

And, here are some photos from the "Warm Observations: People and Places" reception last night (January 17) at ArtSpace Herndon. See below for the BIG sign heading into Herndon for my show. Pretty cool!

"Warm Observations: People and Places" at ArtSpace Herndon, 750 Center Street, Herndon, VA. Hope to see you there!
