Searching For Just One Good Heart...

...if only they grew on trees…

Winner in Challenge 20 at the Challenge Cafe :)

I was so flattered this week to have Stacey Yount send me a Bubblemail telling me that this artwork had inspired her to write a poem for a husband. She even bought my artwork as a card and is going to write the poem inside and give it to her husband!!! LOVE IT! I think it matches the image perfectly and she has kindly given me permission to display it here. It is so exciting to collaborate with someone so talented (and she is a lovely person too). Read her beautiful words here:

I once happened upon a heart tree
And had to pick the perfect
bloom for me

I knew as soon as I saw that heart,
oh yes it is he
It called out I am yours, if you will choose it to be

So, I danced my way to it
and reached up to pluck
it from the tree
No doubt, no worry
I knew that heart was meant for me

I was right because that heart
was yours, you see
And now I am blessed with your love and oh how I love thee

Stacey :)

    Looking good!
    The shadow probably needs a tad more bleed but for your first attempt excellent
    The tree seems to cast no shadow?
    Well done

  • myoriginalsin replied

    Yeah I never altered the trees shadow and yes it doesn’t seem to have one. I have no idea why? Perhaps I should add one? When you say more bleed what do you mean? Glad you think my first attempt at a shadow is good :)

    It is so beautiful when people can see each other hearts…I like the words of the poem, short and very straight forward.
    So, I danced my way to it
    and reached up to pluck
    it from the tree
    No doubt, no worry
    I knew that heart was meant for me.

    I admire females who choosing for herself right soul mate for life…

  • myoriginalsin replied
