Painting - Acrylic On Cradled Birch Wood

Description

I was delighted to spot this duck in the window of the Siren Song Tattoo Parlor, along Route 1 in Rockland, Maine USA. He sparked my imagination, and I decided to make my painting for the Virtual Paintout in the style of the Old School American Traditional nautical/maritime tattoos. The design elements have specific meanings, especially for early sailors, such as the Anchor, Nautical Star (North Star), Compass, Rope, Roses, Lighthouse, etc.
I wanted to leave some of the birch wood showing, and give a bit of a weathered appearance. I love the nostalgic feeling of the old school tattoos, which are now a part of our culture.

From my original painting titled Siren Song (aka Ducking In For A Tattoo).

This image is from my series painted with the Virtual Paintout online group. We travel worldwide each month to a new location, via Google Street View, each choosing to paint that which captures our hearts and imaginations. This particular painting was inspired from images in Maine, USA.
