Goldfish/Peonies/Water

Back in action after a little pause.  I'm happy to get in a good session on this one.

I feel a little bad though, it was pretty much all elbow and funny bone and those spots on the arm that don't see the light of day too much.  Looks like it hurt but she was down to sit longer if I wanted.  Next session as next week or so...

Don't think I've ever done this much or this style of water on anybody before so it's very exciting to chart a slight new direction.

Crane and Pine

Finally outlined this on a great client I've had for a long time.  We have already done her other sleeve with a tiger and flowers and all across her shoulders and upper back with more Japanese nature stuff.

We did a crane and maple leaves on the upper arm quite a while ago, and just now started the bottom after a several month break.  

Next will be morning glory and wisteria to round out our representation of the seasons...
