Sunday Sketches - Mirror

I did a mirror for today's Sunday Sketches. M thought it was a wreath, L thought it was a ring, and K guessed correctly that it was a mirror! I took inspiration from a mirror I noticed in a store at the mall, pictured below. Please visit the other talented artists participating this week!

Arthur Frommer: The lessons travel has taught me

'Travel has taught me that, despite differences in dress and language and condition, all the world’s people are essentially alike. We have the same urges and concerns; we yearn for the same things. And those who patronize others or regard them as funny or backward are foolish indeed; they have not yet learned the lessons of travel'

Sophia and Mmm thanks for your kind comments. And indeed thanks everyone for stopping by!

Kay said...

Thank you for this post! I absolutely agree that this is why travel is so very important. Not enough Americans travel and achieve that lesson.

Kay said...

Unfortunately, not everybody who travels achieve it either.

Great painting, Christne! Your mirror is so lovely. I really like the oval shape and the unique border.

Shayla said...

That mirror is by far a beaut! Your sketch of it looks wonderful, I definitely could tell it was a mirror. Ahhh I have such an obsession with pretty framing.
