#Project52 – Yellow
This week’s them for #EverydayProject52 is Yellow. And while I don’t have much yellow in my wardrobe, I do still seem to have a lot of it in my life. Especially in my book collection. It’s a good thing I don’t arrange my books by color, like some people do. I think my shelves would…

This close to Valentine’s Day, I want to give a shout out to my favorite Valentine. He’s usually super serious, so I thought I’d share a bit of his less serious side with you. Matt seems to enjoy how friendly our new kitten, Geordi has been. I think that’s why he puts up with him…

Read MoreLaura Pommier at the Dunn Art Gallery
I recently got a chance to visit the Dunn Art Gallery at Oakland City University to see Laura Pommier’s exhibit of drawings and paintings, entitled “Character Plots.” The exhibit was full of fantastical artwork featuring characters who don’t always seem to fit into their surroundings. While Pommier’s work is more representational than I typically prefer,…
