...more Sketchbook Challenge...

Head on over the the Sketchbook Challenge blog and check out my post on "Desert Patterns".  You know me, looking for art and inspiration everywhere!  Las Vegas was no exception with hyper visuals and interesting subject matter in ever square inch of this part of the "desert".   Certainly not as serene as a babbling brook, but interesting travel journal material just the same.  It was fun "seeing" Vegas to inspire my art journaling, enjoy!
*this slot machine "pattern" was my most favorite!
