While visiting with some friends in Tampa in May of 22, my friend Denise reminded me she had been asking me to draw something for her for a while now.

And I was like; “Okay, I can start something soon, but it will likely not be done for several months.”

And she was like; “That’s fine, I’m not going anywhere.”

And I was like; “Okay, what am I drawing?”

And Denise was like; “I dunno, I graduated from Manchester High School, I like hiking, biking, qadding, skiing, walking, running, exercising, jogging, dancing, live music, travelling, I had a collection of stuffed bears, butterflies, paintball, soccer, snowshoeing, FAMILY, I’m a Capricorn, I’ve been kicking cancer’s ass for years now, my parents and daughters are Aries, Leo, and Virgo, my favorite song is “I Hope You Dance “by LeeAnn Womack, I’m an honorary Sh*thead, my favorite Authors are Nicholas Sparks, Richard Pauls Evans, James Patterson, and John Grisham, I love NASCAR, my favorite motor cycle is the Harley Road king, my first car was and Olds Firenze, I’ve always loved and felt connected to trains, going to the gym, yoga, I once biked 400 miles with my dada and got a presidential patch and certificate from Jimmy Carter, I love the Dallas Cowboys, and played on the field, and even stood by Troy Aikman’s locker, loved that team with Emmet Smith, Deion Sanders, but I also like the Patriots and Tom Brady, I like Blue, and Purple, and Yellow Roses, my first job was at Shoprite, and my most Recent job was United Health Care, I’ve lived in Florida, Vermont, and Connecticut, I had a Golden Retriever names Dusty, I love snowflakes, I was born in a Snowstorm in a ’53 Chevy, oh, and my favorite color is Yellow…”

…and I was like; “No Problem!”

I HATE working with yellow.

I honestly had no idea what to draw, so I scrolled Denise’s timeline and found this beautiful photo of the sunset taken by Julie…

In this drawing you will find:

Denise’s now defunct Alma Mater (as well as mine)
Teddy Bears (lots of them)
Vermont
ski tracks
paintball splotches
a hiking trail
butterflies
#12
the Dallas Cowboys logo
the Zodiac Symbols of Denise and her family
a train
snowflakes
a 53 Chevy in a snowstorm
live music
the first line of sheet music of Denise’s favorite song
Florida
Cancer Sucks
a bicycle with a 400 mile presidential medal
a Harley Road King
a soccer ball
The numbers of Denise’s favorite Dallas Cowboys
golden retriever tracks
the logo of the six time Super bowl Champion New England Patriots
the logos of Shop Rite and United Health Care
running/walking/hiking sneakers
Connecticut
exercise/gym/workout/yoga equipment
a yellow rose
an Oldsmobile Firenze decked out NASCAR style
quad tracks
a shithead
my signature (duh)
WAY too much yellow
all wrapped around my take on a photo of a sunset I stole from Denise’s timeline like some weird ass stained glass window
