My Mona Lisa  

Last week Sandi and I went to the beach with a couple of our friends to watch the sunset.  It was clear in the Valley, but over cast at the beach. I was hoping to be inspired by the sun's fall into the ocean, but it wasn't to be that day.  However,  Christine's hat caught my attention with the way  it was shaped as the wind caught it, so I sketched it. Using a photograph I took at the time as my pallet for texture and color, I created this picture with my digital airbursh.  It's not a picture of Chris or any beach I have ever been to before. I call it "Mona Lisa Sunset."  I am sure Mr. Davinci   is rolling in his grave.
