Number 8, Peacock and Castle

Challenging myself this week with different artwork.  I wanted to work with the number 8 and went from there adding elements.  When we ride our bikes in the evening sometimes the local peacock will be making his call and displaying his feathers, so he inspired me.  

In learning about the number 8 I found it symbolizes harmony and balance, the ability to make decisions, abundance and power.  In the Bible it represents a new beginning.  

I'm working through The Artist's Way course with a group of people and each week we need to do an artist date.  This was the location of my artist date last weekend.  I found a nice rock along the Truckee River and drew the bridge.  Definitely a place I'll return to.
