Illustration Friday: The Blues
I got the "Too Many Blues to Choose" Blues...
Since this week's Illustration Friday topic was "The Blues", I thought I would illustrate a bit of my current frustration at picking a blue paint color for the walls in our bedroom. There are just too many blues to choose from - "Nordic Ice" to "Rainfore…
