Thanks so much guys for the responses. I think I’ve seen what I’m looking for. The child with the rose under him is along the lines if what I was thinking. I also have another option. Portraits of my grandmother and grandfather from my fathers side abover them on my shoulder. I never really knew them since they lived in Nigeria so if the curvature distorts them a bit it wont be as disturbing. I eventually would love to do my back but have to plan that out a bit and yes I’m in Providence Rhode island. Bout a two hour drive to go see Phil.

Thanks again, The Artist is Phil Young, Hope Gallery in New Haven Conn.

The thing is I was really pumped about having colors. I am not totally set on roses but I definately want color.. Maybe I should re think my strategy a bit..?

Thanks, I was thinking like a full bouquet faded in, Leaving approx. 1/2″ between her hair and the start of color on all sides of her, Maybe to create some contrast and protect from too much confusion. Just the roses sweetheart 😉 The asymetry doesnt bother me that much since originally I just wanted to sleeve one arm and call it a day..

Are there any pictures you can direct me to? Maybe something of the sort?

Thanks so much, Pete

Thanks guys and thanks for the compliment Kat. My original intension was to get a sleeve on one arm and have them both on the same arm. When I went to have my GF put on he did not want to do it on the shoulder above my grandmother, He said that his line work was too distorted by my shoulders curvature. I agreed because I did not want the portrai unless it looked exactly like them. Now as you can imagine, I have to have my sleeve appropriate for their portrait. I thought pink and red roses on my grandmother would look good. Starting just below her and going up to my shoulder..

Any thoughts with that said?
