A great benefit of the rennovations going on in our house is that rooms are being emptied out to be painted. This leaves, for example, our dining room open to use as a temporary photo studio for the next few months.

So today I'm doing two set-ups for the project where we are illustrating the history of Trixie Little and Monkey. The first scene of this not-so-usual day at home is of evil Uncle Tosso posing with knives.

Next up this evening is a group photo of a circus family...
