Some
Pictures from the Art & Chocolate Reception
honoring Zafiris and Justin Attaberry.
My friend John bought a painting from me and had an reception to unveil
it. There was an unveiling of another painting too by fellow artist Justin Attaberry. And .... chocolate tasting. Details on the captions of the pictures.
Location: Beverly Hills, CA, Aug. 2008

Trees in Crete was the painting that John fell in
love with.
I am excited that he got it! |

| To spice up the reception, he organized chocolate
tasting. |

Chocolate ranging from 6 to 100 dollars per pound
was cut in small pieces and assigned letters. |

| Tyler was the first to try the chocolate |
 |
| And then people were talking about chocolate and
art. |
