My husband,
Tony Dowler, had his first art show opening two weeks ago at
Cortona Cafe in Seattle. If you follow the link, you'll get to see some of his work (the website itself is a work-in-progress). Currently, two-thirds of his artwork at the shop has sold, plus he's obtained some commissions as a result of the show.

Hipstamatic app on her iPhone:

Many good wishes for a satisfying new year.
