		<title>Twelve Flowers</title>
		<description><![CDATA[One day, when walking in the park across from my gallery, I spotted a gorgeous dark-haired girl with a red flower in her hair, kinda Hawaiian style.

		<title>Yolo Lounge</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Yolo Lounge is about to have their &#8220;official&#8221; grand opening.

As a particular painting begins to take shape, I see opportunities to create a certain &#8220;look&#8221; or a certain &#8220;emotion&#8221;&#8230;and then I lose it just as quickly. Sometimes the brush just isn&#8217;t up to the task of channeling what&#8217;s in my brain onto the canvas. It loses [...]]]></description>
