The Lovers
All romantic love is based on self-love, for it is in the eyes of our beloved that we see our ideal self reflected…. and THAT is what utterly captivates us…
Available as a VALENTINE’S DAY card!!!
(what better way to tell your lover that they are a selfish irresponsible louse?!)
This is a manipulation of a self portrait by flickr user “Mon Shari”

Thanks Yvonne – this is an “oldie” for me, but it seems to have been one of my most popular manipulations over the years…

Mr. Shifter.. Happy Valentine’s Day to you too. The subject of men and women would be a long discussion. :) Beautiful pic.

I love the text with this image. Are you interested in psycho analyse ?
Makes me think of Freud a lot.
Jennifer Vickers, 8 months ago
Wow! Stunning image and a great insight given in the description
Thomas Dodd in reply to lilgem4u’s comment, 8 months ago
indeed it would and thanks again!
Thomas Dodd in reply to annacuypers’s comment, 8 months ago
Yes I am Anna – very much, although I am much more intrigued by Jung than Freud..
;D
Thomas Dodd in reply to Jennifer Vickers’s comment, 8 months ago
Thank you Jennifer!
annacuypers, 8 months ago
Yes, I understand, Jung is more mythical/mystical, eh… But Freud was his teacher and friend. I think they’re both interesting. As a psychotherapist I have read Freud more than Jung. But as an artist I agree that Jung can be more intriguing…
Have a nice day,
Anna

Narcissus myth.. in a female versión..
too still..
Nature has decided to take advantage of such refelction..
unmoving soul of ideal contemplation..
and open… the buds of fertility..
