Art Work in Pola de Allande

Stef wanted some new art work, so I did this.

It is based on a design I did for a tattoo I eventually want to get. The shell is a symbol of protection as well as the camino, and morning glories are one of the flowers for September (the month the truck hit me) as well as the flower for Virgo (my Zodiac sign.)

In the Victorian language of flowers, morning glories stand for both love that is eternal and love that is unrequited. As I said in Stories from Webb, the scar the tattoo will cover is a symbol that the love of man may fail but the love of God never does, so morning glories are the perfect flower.

All that doesn’t mean anything to Stef, but that’s okay. It’s a pretty picture. And the first thing you see when you walk in the door.
