The Rose Tattoo

Welcome to my Blog!

This blog is going to be about "my Creative Life".  I feel so blessed to spend my life doing what I love.  I'm hoping that with this blog I may be able to inspire others to "follow your bliss" or at least make it worth your time to read it and look at my work.  Or...better yet, buy my art work! So, this week I'm going to talk about one of my most current paintings,  "The Rose Tattoo".  It's a watercolor of a young couple I saw at a bar in Laguna Niguel, CA.  They were so intriguing to me.  She was beautiful and surrounded by lots of young men.  In my mind, the story was that the man sitting next to her was her boyfriend and he was thinking, "Am I good enough? She's so great, what is she doing with me?!  Should I pop the question?".  Or, he could have just been thinking "Am I gonna get lucky tonight?".  When one of my friends saw my painting, I asked her what she thought was going on and this is what she said.  "Oh, he's on the hunt!  Look at his eyes!  He's on his way out of that relationship".  That's the great thing about paintings of people.  Everyone can make up their own story about the subjects.
