Thrilled that my painting "Every Broken Arrow" at the Great Northwest Art exhibition at Matzke Gallery has SOLD! Can't wait for the new owners to see it on their walls. carynvainioart.com

The Mini-Boo game at Hexaboo.com is rated as pretty hard. I like keeping it challenging, so I implemented a hint system that people can opt into using. If you haven't tried it, try it out! hexaboo.com/#miniboo

There's still time to see the "Illuminate" show at Graphite Arts Center in Edmonds, WA, where I've got two pieces on display! The center is really beautiful so if you're local, stop in and see the show and my pieces! artworkarchive.com/profile/c… artworkarchive.com/profile/c…
