I love the curves and shapes that are much like spokes of wheels. The colour seems a lot like chocolate.

Thanks for coming by everyone!

Dot, I thought they delicious for some reason. I am glad I'm not the only one.

Eg, the chocolate color is probably why I thought they looked delicious.

Blue-eyed Siamese Cat flies to Japan

Today was filled with my art and time with Sputnik. She was bathing herself which gave me the chance to catch a photo of her.
