(Forever) New Love

New Love

I am telling my hands
not to blossom into roses

I am telling my feet
not to turn into birds
and fly over rooftops

I am putting a hat on my head
so the flaming meteors
in my hair
will hardly show.

A perfect poem for this day....paired with a youthful and energetic piece of art! New love! New art! Happy Valentine's Day, sweet Dotty!

Thanks, Carol. I took a page I painted in my sketchbook, cut it into four pieces, and developed this one into a valentine for my Valentine : )

Had fun doodling and posca-ing!

Happy Valentine's Day to you, too, Jen! I loved pouring energy into this 'found composition'—doodled first and then pulled it together with acrylic skin (the black linework is fabric pen on a plastic sheet 'painted' over with matte medium which, once dry, yielded these bits of carefree scribble).

Thanks, Sheila! Definitely some excited molecules dancing around on this one : )
