This was such an honor. This piece was commissioned by the finance dept in the Mayor’s office, as a gift for outgoing CFO Ben Rosenfield after serving for 26 years. All his former bosses are pictured here. 😊 β€œCity Hall”, watercolor + ink on paper.

I said I’d never ride in the city and didn’t touch a bike for ~20+ yrs. Today I rode on the Great Highway to the zoo and then up through the park around the Polo Fields to Simple Pleasures and home. Such fun!! 🀩 Now I know what all the fuss is about! 🚴 πŸ’›

Self-checkouts make me so sad. I will wait in a long line just to enjoy a little chat with the checkers. It’s such a gift to go to the smaller shops where we all know each others’ names. Support your local grocery store and get to know the folks who work there. ❀️
