What a difference color makes!

Dear Readers,
 Spring is here!  And with the beautiful days outside, it has been hard to draw inside lately!  But this past Wednesday, I took my lunch hour outside on a picnic bench, and I was amazed how much art I got done.   Hopefully I can keep this up.  And on Friday, my dear art friend A and I sat and shared our sketchbooks with each other.  Hers is so beautiful, I am humbled by it!  She is doing portraits of people she knows.   She drew me wearing a Renaissance dress. (Is anyone surprised? ) :) She is going to scan it when she is finished, and I'll post it here.  In terms of my own sketchbook, I have been adding watercolor to my sketches. And what a difference it makes!  The pictures really pop.  I had one person comment (love you Mom!) that it was really hard to see the pencil drawings I posted last time.  And she was right.  Hopefully this way you can see these better.
 Here are the first two pages again, this time with color.


What do you think?  I will post more as I finish them....

My question for today (and I welcome facebook comments as well) is :
How do I create my own header for the blog?  I want to incorporate my own drawings into my logo and header, but I don't have the blogging expertise to do that.  Any advice??  Thanks!
