"Doodle" 2-14

I missed a couple days as we went away for the weekend and Sunday I was just plain lazy!

But I tried to make up for it last night by starting to concept what I hope to be a nice and large wall mural:

I want the base to be symmetrical, but I'll be painting most of the detail individually so there's more visual goodies to soak up. I want it to have 'layers' of patterns. 

We went to the Art Museum in Philly this weekend as part of our getaway, and I was really inspired most of all by the depth and detail in paintings, as well as the ornate detail in some of the renaissance-period armor and weapons. I can't wait to go back. 4 hours was definitely not enough!
