Taryn, I really like the architectural quality to this. Nice volume.
On another note, I noticed you were a u Penn grad? I'm on that campus today hanging out with my son who does research there. Philly has such great old buildings.

What is ever easy to put downonce you start to see.
Love the straightforwardness of your pieces. And the blue green highlights!!!!

Thank you Mary Beth, Ron and Patricia. Ron, I went to the Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts to learn to paint, then to Penn to get my BFA. Penn is dear to my heart.
How do you like the Furness Library? And College Hall?

As a native Californian, artichokes were a regular veggie on our table and happen to be one of my very favorites. This looks so wonderful and fresh, that it makes me want to go out and buy some at the market.
I absolutely love your work, Taryn!
