About Me
New to Digital Scrapbooking, just started in 2019, want to make a record of family stories before my mother passes away. My dad died in 2016. I currently live in Canada but was born and raised in New Zealand, and emigrated to Canada upon marrying my Canadian spouse. Home Country - lets see - New Zealand or Canada? Which to choose? Most of my photos will be from NZ, but any pics of my son will be from Canada. MY IP Address will say that I am in Canada which is fine. My mother and sister are still back in NZ so I will make my home country as NZ for now. For Facebook, I dont check it every day - I am not addicted to FB, and I use a different name for privacy. My image is myself as a child - aged about 2 or 3 years old

This is the last Apprenticeship Page for Leonardo Da Vinci.
This is a painting by Andrea Del Verrocchio who titled this painting the Baptism of Christ by Saint John. It was common practice to allow the young apprentices to paint a small portion of the larger paintings. Young Leonardo painted the two little angels at bottom left. You can clearly see a difference in styles between the angels and the rest of the figures in the painting.
Leonardos style is such a contrast to the rest of the painting. So much so that Del Verrocchio threatened to never paint again because the young Leonardo was clearly a better painter than the master!!
