I only had sea salt that was super coarse, sort of like pretzel salt, when I made this – I wasn’t sure about using it, but the effect is kind of interest.

    You’re so talented, I wish I could paint like you. I might have to hire you for some wall art when I move to NH next summer to make Z’s room extra special. PS thanks for doing Sean’s header image it looks soo good!
