"If you hadn't lost track of time... you'd be home by now"
The theme for Creative Tuesday over at Mr. Toast's blog is "New Year". Since I have to keep plugging away at The Sketchbook Project, I thought it would be fun to combine the two challenges.
It is hard not to think about the passing of time when a new year rolls around. As a result, Salvador Dali's "The Persistence of Memory" seemed like the perfect painting to base today's drawing on.
(The theme for my sketchbook is "...you'd be home by now". If you'd like to find out more about my inspiration, you can find it in this post.)
Be sure to check back... a lot more gnome drawings are on the way!
I wish my memory would persist! Clever how you've worked these themes together.
ReplyDeleteThis is brilliant! I love your little gnomes!
ReplyDeleteGreat one Kristin. Wow, I find this to be so very clever...I did a research paper on Dali, back in the day, and I so love your tribute! Excellent....xxoo ps love the Converse on the happy little gnome!

ReplyDeleteKristin--another great interpretation and sketch/painting.That spread looks excellent for your Sketchbook project too--so glad you coudl combine the two. Works really well in fact.
