just a very quick play at the studio today with miss allie. this is a very serious shot of her, but i just love when i see myself in the catch lights in her eyes!
oh my! today i spent at least 6 hours at the studio and i used up 5 gallons of paint myself. no lie:) i can barely walk tonight. progress…progress…it doesn’t come without pain, right? i honestly am not normally the most independent person when it comes to stuff like this…but i’m holding my own lately...
