I will have a lot of heart art for the Art Detour

This one is a gift for a special person

This is my romaine, unrecognizable since it bolted 🙁

Isn’t it pretty! It has leaves that are much thinner and lighter than romaine and has a very faint nutty flavor to it. We enjoyed it before it bolted.

My latest creation:

I am liking it as a heart but it could change.

finally finished!

My damaged valentine is nearly finished, I wonder how many damaged Valentines will be woeful tomorrow or this the eve of all hearts day~~I’m rather joyous since me dad’s corazon is thump thumping healthily along.

Need to articulate the black pomegranates and work into the background for added depth and texture and debating about some more shadow/highlights in the hair.

Wonderful mixed media piece by artist Nina (with a long i) 😀

If you don’t have a true love or a “sweet heart” you have someone to love! Put the love out there so it will come back to you tri fold! love has wings!

My hub has a nick name that he calls me its “Bucket” short, for “love bucket”, I’m spilling my bucket full of heart right into your lap!

this poem by EE Cummings is so pretty. I am trying to imagine an image to go with it.

Here is the deepest secret nobody knows
Here is the root of the root and the bud of the bud
and the sky of the sky of a tree called life
which grows higher than the soul can hope or mind can hide
and this is the wonder that is keeping the stars apart
I carry your heart
I carry it in my heart
