Stefan Thompson at Little Mountain Studios

I arrived at work yesterday to a lovely surprise,

a beautiful invitation in my mailbox to an art opening at Little Mountain Studios.

It is just around the corner from Beansprouts, but I don't make it in often enough.

Here was my ticket.

It was a lovely evening, great company and work by Stefan Thompson

Using only non-toxic paints and recycled materials his mixed media work displays animal inspired creations; both delicate and dark, whimsical, full of expression.

If you can't make it to Little Mountain, be sure to visit his website and view other works as well - there are many!

Her Morning Elegance

I love how this video was made and it reminds me of my love for little moments in life:
sun shining through your bedroom window in the morning,
a warm blanket,
the comfort of a scarf,
the breeze from riding a bike,
riding the subway train,
clean sheets,
someones arms around you,
