Crow - n

Crow n

Media: acrylics on gallery wrapped canvas
Dimensions: 12" X 16"

pronounced: (kro-in)

I have always been intrigued by etimology. The latin I studied in school must have had an impact on me because as I began to learn English I took notice to how many words derived from latin. Not only did this help to understand the meanings of words better, but it also gave rise to this interest of mine.
Now I often find myself analyzing words. I like to "break them down" by concentrating on how other words can be put together to form one word. I really enjoy dissecting words and then visualizing them with pictures like the "Crow-N" (=a crow IN a crown).

What fictional character do you relate to most and why?

Wyle E coyote

I relate to Wyle E coyote's perseverance. I like challenges and I feel I am tenacious when trying to reach a goal.

Monk

My friends call me "Monk" because I like things a certain way, but I am not as OCD as Monk is.
Wanna take a quiz to see if you're Monk-ish? go here .
I really like the show...
