A very fun, creative evening at the studio

Enjoying live music in the studio with friends, family and neighbors. 
Creativity and artistic expression are shared in many ways at the studio.  Thanks to our musician friends for providing an evening of fantastic music and to everyone who came out to enjoy it.  Next time the group comes to play, I'm grabbing my sketch book--make art! be art! buy art!
