Noah’s guitar continued
Saturday, February 4th, 2012
I’ve started another painting in my class with Gabriel Lipper so I’m not moving along with Noah’s Guitar as fast as I might, but here’s the latest progress: I think this is where I left off in my last post – still trying to get the rubber out of that guitar neck… Catching the age […]

This is another Different Stokes for Different Folks challenge. Karin asked everyone who wanted to participate to send a photo of themselves which she then distributed to the group at random.
