I'm very taken by Gustav Klimt's landscape paintings. I like his more famous works too, but I wanted to share something different here.

"During his summer retreat in Litzlberg on Lake Attersee, Klimt started his days at 6 o'clock with vast strolls in the woods. Locals called him a “Waldschrat” meaning somebody who lives in the woods on his own."

Nice. Wish I could see them lol

I'm interested in having a big one on my back--all of them from up to down.

But it must be one theme. I haven't figured it out what's the theme would be, colored or not.

If I haven't done this in next year or two, then I'll forget tats.
