A very tiny local newspaper, mind you ("High Desert Community News"), and a very tiny article - but I absolutely did not expect it! If you are wondering what I am holding in my left hand, why, it's not a palette. It's a styrofoam plate which did at some point hold snacks. Not sure why I'm just standing there and holding an empty plate...
I also received three checks in the mail today and a huge #8 Da Vinci Russian Blue Squirrel Quill brush! A nice day, I think :)
