It has been ten months since I first started work on Scott’s arm. As his apprentice he let me do a lot of practicing. We started on 6/3/2018 and as of yesterday (4/28/19) we can say that he now has a little over half a sleeve fully colored from his shoulder to below his elbow. I wrote a lot about the beginning parts of the process: The First One and First Tattoo – Part Two. Some of these pictures are repeats but it is fun to see them all together to see how much we have gotten done.

Hemlock Falls
Hemlock Falls is on Moccasin Creek near Lake Burton in Rabun County, but with a Clarkesville address. It is an incredibly pretty walk but the falls were not especially spectacular. I think my enjoyment of them was diminished by how many people were out on the trail. I was spoiled by my winter hikes when I often did not see another person the whole time I was painting. That is obviously no longer going to be the case this spring and summer. I am going to have to get up much earlier.

Haven Falls
Haven Falls is right past Glenn Ella Springs Inn. There is wide shoulder to the right of the gravel road and an old (logging?) road to the left. It is just barely over half a mile on an nondescript trail to get to this spot. The pictures I took do not fully capture how lovely this spot is. The cliff is almost a semi-circle of stacked looking rock with a free fall at the top then tiers. I could not find a dry place to sit far enough back to paint the whole scene at once so this is one I will have to return to as well.
