Painting a Day, Day 1. In Loving Memory.

  “In Loving Memory” 8×10, oil on canvas Robert Howard Lavigne 1927-1987   Painting a day, part two. This time around I wanted some kind of theme and since my last thirty in thirty was all about me (sometimes painfully so), I thought it would be a great idea to share a story each day– […]
