WS - Leonardo da Vinci



     Wednesday Stamper's challenge theme this week is Leonardo da Vinci. In my opinion, he was probably the most gifted person ever to grace this planet. His genius was in so many fields other than the one we artists know best, painting and drawing. He was also a genius in surgical anatomy, mapmaking, engineering, archeology, and botany. 
     My background is tan cardstock stamped in archival brown ink with stamps from Purple Onion Designs and All Night Media. The images, printed out on beige paper, came from googling. 
     My husband and I visited Vinci, Italy,  and saw the wonderful little museum there with Leonardo's designs exhibited. More about Leonardo can be found HERE and HERE.
