For my Dearest Imperator

For my Imperator, of course. acrylic on canvas, 2008.

N.B. I store my paints in medicine bottles. Thus the bottle off to the side. No, I'm not a druggie painter; the bottles have an airtight seal and thus eliminate to cost of getting other containers. It worked well for storing paint directly from tubes and mix them seperately. It's recycling. It's travel paint. It genius! (Just don't lick the paintings, okay?)

I later wrote "Senatus Populusque Romanus" on the ribbon. Good old SPQR, the Senate and the Roman People.
