Birthday Art! and Christmas Art!

My commissioned artwork for my birthday is here! And it's beautiful! It's from Jennifer Kapnek, who just lives half a block from us.

And I thought I'd finally put up a picture of the photo I received for Christmas. The photo itself was taken at a march, just before the Iraq war started, in Portland. Police in riot gear, contrasted with a young girl with a Hello Kitty bag. Pretty interesting stuff. Paul and the kids put it in a frame that I've had for years, a gift from Paul's mom several years ago

that I never knew what to put in it. Now it's got something! Sorry for the glare--I'll have to try taking a better picture in daylight. When I didn't use the flash it was just dark.
