In the side rows near the bay, Agathe, Edwina, Hazel, Davey and Judge Jennifer sighed in unison as they applauded loudly for the young wedded couple.

"Dears," said Agathe the Aardvark , shaking her body of water, "I did not bring my umbrella." "Sorry!" Hazel and Davey said, balancing on their fins. "We'll head over to the wet zone.

I ended up painting details onto the chair's frame.  A hodgepodge of things to practice painting impressions of flowery vines, cat paws, flowers, and butterflies. Here's the back of the chair.
