New Header for this blog
















I painted this new header for my blog today.  It was fun to do, pulling pieces from a bunch of different sketchbook sketches and repainting them into one.  The elephants are from my Thailand sketchbook, the swans from Hawaii, the grape vines and market scene are from home, the dandelions from a trip to Wells/Barkerville, and the foot and sketchbook in the corner are a variation of a sketch I did on the plane to Vallarta years ago.  It was interesting trying to figure out how to sketch and paint them all so they blended together. I'm really happy with it - makes me think of all the places I've, well, wandered.  Now I just need to figure out how to get it up there.
