Images

The two images you currently see on my blog site, the header image and site icon, were both chosen from Pixabay. I chose the image of water for my header mostly because I like the way it looks. It’s simple, but colorful and dynamic. I also chose it because I have strong positive associations with water. It reminds me of childhood beach trips and vacations. I chose a pencil to be my site icon because I love to create things, and a pencil is one of the most basic artistic tools, but so much can be done with it. I also like it because it looks like the pencils my art teacher would force us to use in elementary school. I hated them because they had no erasers, but they served their purpose and made us draw carefully.
