Nice! I was hoping for a bit more close-up detail on this one, and you've delivered. The ephemeral qualities really stand out now, and it's much easier to make out the words themselves. I really like your subtle touches here, like how the words circle the heart on the left. It actually looks like the words coming out of the subject on the left's mouth are trying to wrap around and tug at the heart of the other.
It still feels incredibly sweet and sad to me; that sense of forlorn melancholy is quite pervasive.
...i love you... detail

This is a detail of my painting ...i love you... You'll find the poem accompaniment with the full painting.
In my experience we speak love directly into the hearts around us whether we or the others are fully aware of it. Those others in turn speak that love into the hearts around them. And so it goes... Onward, upward...Becoming...
I think most people know what happens when the love isn't there...... *HUGS*
I hope you like what I've made! Thanks for having a look!

This is a portrayal of one giving realizing that they will most likely not receive back but giving anyway. It was my intention to have the words entering the heart in the mind's eye of the viewer. I'm very glad something like that is what you are seeing! This piece is intensely personal for me. I suppose the earth tones I chose help with the melancholy feel. And the sense through the swirling that time does not stand still even when love is spoken. Thank you, ChronoNomad!
