Madam Mel and Her Dog

Also known as Mel and Arvin. We went to a halloween party today. Most everybody came in costume. Arvin is wearing the mask that my art camp friend Diane made. I bought it for Arvin's 80th birthday present. He looks smashing in the mask. Diane is a master mask maker who sells her work in New Orleans for Mardi Gras. The extra is Arvin and me in our costumes. I am supposed to be a bird. He of course is a dawg. The party was great fun and as always we had a wonderful time talking and eating and laughing. I took lots of photos. You can see them on Chaikins of Bellingham.
