Drawing, painting, throwing pottery, taking photographs, cooking, gardening, yoga, reading and learning, my water garden, these are the things that are my bliss. I haven't been drawing all my life. I've been drawing for about 10 years, and most of that has been in the last year since I joined this site. I feel that I have greatly improved because the competition keeps getting stronger and stronger, and I have to keep up. Ironic that most of my wins have been text tattoos. I like working with color and have a good grasp on blending colors to create that natural look in my flowers. I want my tattoo designs to look like they are painted on. I did tattoo for about 6 years but have moved away from that, partly because I live in a town where tattooing is prohibited, so I have turned my attention to designing tattoos. Paper is much more forgiving than skin. : ) If you like my design I'm available to make changes until you have what you want, even after a contest ends. Peace
