Sky



"The sky's the limit!"

I heard that a few times during the big pep talk of Wolfgang's visit to CU yesterday.  So when I saw that this week's Illustration Friday prompt is "Sky", I had a few lingering thoughts.

What mainly bubbled to the front was castles in the sky.  Big dreams are great, but don't forget about the foundation!

Thus, she who controls the checkbook has spoken...

Pretty. Reminds me of some of Agg's photos from his travels to Germany.

Funny how the sky's the limit, but only if the checkbook is just as infinite.
Love the sketch - especially the clouds in the sky!

Wise words my Friend and an excellent illustration to boot.

No truer words were spoken (she who controls the checkbook).

My question is: what was your inspiration for the castle illustration? I think I have been there in Germany.

The reference I used says "Burg Hochosterwitz" in Austria. You been??

Indeed! You're the mom.

Great illustration. I really like the layers upon layers of rooms/towers/roofs, all piling up into that sky, which is so light and ephemeral, and a contrast to the solidity of the castle.
