Love it, plain and simple does the trick. Great idea.

Simplicity on his best!

That is a cool shot on any day, well done!

Thanks, guys! :)

Just to be clear, this is a drawing. Not a photograph.

A testament to your talents.

+favs for me.

That makes it a double WOW piece, I like it even more! And I would double fav it if I could! ;)

Makes me feel that so many good memories are woven into that heart - Excellent work and presentation!!!!!!!

WOW! Seriously, and I take you drew it? Very impressive!

I'm puzzled Lisa. You say you drew this? What did you use? Did you draw the BG as well?? If so you are a MASTER!!!!

Thanks, Bruce. I used CorelDRAW to create the entire image. It took me about a week and a lot of cussing.

LOL Lisa!!!! Good answer and that explains the mystery:))

I tip my hat to you on your artistry and patience with this masterful piece. I enjoy the workings of an imaginative mind as yours.

this reminds me of an old Elvis song ... wooden heart ... i like it well done :)

This is my kinda photo. I appreciate how you've offset the heart with negative space. I also very much admire the simplicity of it all. Thank you for posting it.

I have to say, from my time in college working towards a degree in fine art, and my experience since, I do find your style of illustration and your subject matter to be very refreshing, and I'm looking forward to seeing more.

Heart shapes were used in decorative art by ancient societies. One of the oldest examples is an Indus Valley civilization pendant embossed with a heart-shaped fig leaf. Ivy, fig and water-lily leaves were all used in art and heraldry. Ivy is often used as a symbol of fidelity. It is possible that the plant's symbolism contributed to the eventual, modern meaning of the heart-shape.

The first known depiction of a heart-shape as a symbol of love was in the 1250's French manuscript the "Roman de la poire," in which a young man holds his vaguely pine cone-shaped heart up towards his lady love. Up until the fourteenth century, the heart was usually depicted upside down. This shifted in the fifteenth century, as the heart symbol came to resemble what we use today, and became a suit on playing cards.
