Rethinking... I think I like the tattoo better without the red....

FTF #1:

"Nothing measurable matters"
-e.e. Cummings

This is my completed tattoo design... The tattoo had to represent something about myself.
1. I love America and patriotic images
2. I love animals.... I'm a vegan (1 year this month!).. hence the Charles Darwin quote.
3.A more subtle symbol: the bandana represents America and also one of the only memories I have of my dad, who died when I was 4.

I really wanted to use traditional American Sailor tattoo style and use of color, and more specifically use of the eagle as a patriotic symbol.

Another veront landscape painting... finished Friday Aug 7.

8x10 in. acrylic on canvas









And not related fully to anything I should be posting... here are pictures of my first garden :)

This is an acrylic painting I did inspired by a mountain side road in Vermont. The canvas is 18x24 inches, the color looks a tad bit off in the bottom picture. The top picture is pretty accurate.

This is just my extension on the whole playing card thing. I love the idea of camping.











This is a portrait of my boyfriend, Chris, who was nice enough to sit for 6 hours. I used acrylic and the size is about 3ft by 4ft.
