Godzillas & New Money

Kathy treated me to an evening at The New York State Fair.

We saw dinosaurs and godzillas of the animatronic and rock star varieties.

And I found a shiny penny.  Now up to $4.08 in found money for 2024.

Renaissance

It’s a good day for a good day.

I went on two errands today – I received an Indian head penny in my change at the first location.

Then I found a penny at the second location!  I am now up to $4.07 in found money for 2024.

Back at the studio I worked on a new series of paintings.  They are 8″ x 8″ butterflies.  Not finished but here is a preview.

Butterflies represent a rebirth.  A renaissance.  Past-present-future.  It’s perfect.

Such a good day.

P.S. I will be at the gallery at AFL Studio (301 E. Seneca St., Manlius, New York) on Friday, August 23, 2024.  I might pop by tomorrow if I have time.

Shield

Found another penny on Saturday. Now I am up to $4.06 in found money for 2024!

Another Nickel

As a creature of habit, I am frequently on the same path. The day before yesterday and the day before that times infinity, this nickel was not there. I found it yesterday face down so I turned it around for the photo because I wanted to see the date on it – 1968! How cool! Thanks, universe.

This brings me up to $4.05 in found money for 2024.

4 Dollars

This wheatie is older than my mother. Now up to $4.00 in found money for 2024.
