I think these are fun but maybe I should come up with a new game? What are y'all doing today? Saturday. Send Pics. I am going to be displaying at the Farmers Market here today with my painting kits and this community and my IRL classes. I am going to see if I can get a bunch of strangers to paint on a panel. Think I can do it?
