A short while ago artist friend Jen Walls exclaimed in writing, I am a HUGE fan of your bookmarks! Holy cow! Tiny masterpieces with a purpose. It doesn't get better than that!
Well, shucks.
Thank you, Jen, both for the accolades and for so succinctly summing up my love affair with painting these little paper playgrounds.
Yes, yes, yes. When I paint a bookmark, I celebrate and fuel both the poet and the pragmatist in myself.
Today's celebration:

Ha ha ha! Fun, fun, FUN!
They are little masterpieces... reminds of Matisse! Love your title... maybe heart-shaped cookies!
Thanks, Sheila—I DO seem to be having fun!
Wow, Carol, always happy to be compared to one of the greats! Thank you. Thanks, too, for your appreciation of the title and your feedback re the heart shapes which were comPLETELY unintentional—I didn't even see them as hearts until YOU did : )
Hi Dotty, this bookmark is especially beautiful! Maybe it's because of the exquisite warm yellow combined with the pink/purple part down under? It combines perfectly!
Another exquisite beauty! I stand by my words...I am a HUGE FAN of these tiny masterpieces!!!! xo
Thanks, Simone. I value your input. This was a larger improvisational piece in the making, in which I found this composition. Love that process.
Thank you again, Jen! 'Twas grand fun creating with you in mind : )
