Main St. Sebastopol by Kathy Goetzel
Another talented Graphic Designer I worked with at HP was Kathy Goetzel. Kathy is an amazing painter, and has returned to her art in the last few years. She has painted many of the animals at Safari West, as well as botanically-correct local flora - you can see notecards of her work all over Sonoma County. She also illustrated the amazing book, "Miss Hallberg's Butterfly Garden." I love Kathy's work, because it always represents the things I love about living here in Sonoma County. This one is my absolute favorite! It depicts Main St. Sebastopol - the same intersection I photographed with the Buggs Bunny! I love it because of it's whimsical style, and cool perspective. I imagine myself in an old-fashioned hot-air balloon floating above Main St. I also love that she snuck a dachshund dog in, and because it shows "Earthchild" toy store, where Amelia worked for several years.

Wonderful! Nancy, you're making me miss NorCal.
We miss you too, Doni!
Sebastopol looks like a great place to crawl. That would be a nice suggested location for a 2009 crawl. I know most sketchers would complain of the distance and no BART, but I would definitely be up for it.
Gerald,
Definitely! I think I will do that. It would be great if you came up for it. Sebastopol has a cute Main St. and lots of coffee shops. And lots of rural surrounding area if you like to draw vineyards, rivers, barns & stuff. Occidental's really cute, too, and only a few minutes away. I'm hoping the Munchkin will be here for the Jan 10th, crawl, but it's sounding like she'll have to be back down to school by then.
Sounds great!
I just watched "The Pixar Story" by Leslie Iwerks (twice now). The show & tell so much of Cal Arts, it reminds me of Amelia.
It'd be great if she's able to join us for another crawl. The last crawl had a lot of new faces, I definitely enjoy the familiar ones as well.
