True Dad Stories 2

I wasn’t sure if I should post this one or not.

I’m thinking of putting this one up for sale on Etsy to raise funds for a new palette and some brushes. Here’s a little peek at my open air workspace, including my old pallet that I’ve had since I was 12, and belonged to my great aunt:

Finally, remember there’s a Legends of Zita giveaway over at Goodreads! It ends on July 15th.
