Do you know the story of the baby hippo who survived the Tsunami in 2004, and adopted a 130 year old male tortoise as his "mother"? This is my painting in honor of such a sweet story of love and comfort found in unexpected places.
I had to paint today, it’s my therapy.
I was sick with a cold all weekend (house hunting stress got the best of me, after all), still sniffling as I write this now, but feeling a bit better and I’m off to see comedy later tonight, (one of the great things about LA, being able to see this kind of comedic talent right down the street) Marc Maron & Patton Oswalt ~ laughter is always a good thing.

(psst ~ this painting will be for sale when I release the next group of daily paintings later this month)
