Lafreniere Splash Park
Upon completion of the mural, we took a group photo of the Jefferson Art Guild artists. I took a panorama photo as well. It was sunny and hot that day.

Inerstellar Journey Into the Unknown
A month ago, an artist invited me to an art exhibit called "Interstellar Journey into the Unknown" at Bywater Art Lofts. I took an artist friend with me to see the exhibit. We had fun playing with the interactive displays.
