Green Gertie

This Week’s Theme: Green

This week, I wanted to do a color, and green seemed like a good one to start with. In this picture, I desaturated everything except all the green. I also posted the original in my gallery if anyone wants to see it in color. I love this picture, because my Aunt Diane drew this for me when I was little and told me if I hung it in my room, Gertie would ward off any monsters or ghosts and she’d keep me safe. My aunt passed away when I was about 7 or 8, so this picture is very special to me. I want to get a tattoo of it eventually. Definitely a lot smaller, and I’d probably put it on my shoulder. The smaller picture in the frame of a tiger with wings is another of her drawings. It’s not the original, just a copy. My mom has that tattooed on her back (she was her sister).
