A couple weekends ago we had Raquel Roth live painting at our holiday party! Its always so exciting to watch the artist process and especially exciting for us to see a painting from start to finish and then get to show it in the gallery! 

This little 8"x8" sweetie's name is "Ernie" and hes just the most joyful, holiday Chickadee around!
