Taxes are done. For artists they are a bit more complicated and bring on stress and anxiety. In our house we celebrate the completion of our taxes with a trip to our favored Chinese restaurant. We did not want our kids to remember tax time only for the stress.

Thanks to all of you who support us living artist through boosting, visiting our galleries, and buying original art.
