Not So Fun Fact: Immediately after I finished and photographed this wall-hanging cat painting, I dropped it on the floor and broke the whiskers. This video shows the cat's making, including the tear-filled breaking and repairing process. ;o)

I got to paint a quick, fun, little landscape mural in the lobby at 1301 University, a mostly student housing building on the University of Minnesota campus.…just across the street from Sanford Hall, the dorm where I lived during my first year at the UofMn over 30 years ago!?😅 Far out, man!
Here's a little video of the making of the mural via my YouTube channel:
