A little abstract art for Valentine's Day... I seriously don't feel a need to elaborate anymore than that. Hope you're having a good day!
Okay... so Valentine's has a few clichéd standbys when it comes to "romantic" gifts. The usual are flowers, and some kind of sweet, a sort of "sweets to the sweet" (never mind that this line is from a funeral scene in Hamlet, spoken by Queen Gertrude as she drops flowers into Ophelia's grave). The ol' heart-shaped box of chocolate and bouquet of roses are so standardized buying them is almost a joke. Thinking along those lines I put together these two pictures: "A Rose by Any Other Name..." and "Cookies & Cream". The latter came into being because I didn't want to go a strictly traditional route. I don't venture that way in my own romantic dalliances, so wouldn't in my art -- simple explanation.
Anyway, enough of my rambling. Enjoy!
