I sat down Tuesday evening late, intending to do my "quickie" annual Valentine heart painting. Surely I could whip out something in a half hour, it wasn't meant to be a masterpiece after all.

It was supposed to be bright and happy, that was the main requirement and it started off in an ok direction. Of course this wasn't finished.

But where to go from there?... I had no idea as will be more than obvious going forward. ha ha

It took a wild turn.... ugh !

Double UGH !!

Blot all that pink out.....

Lets add a small heart inside with a wavy tail.... wait.... what ?? a heart worm !? ... yuck... isn't that what you give your dog pills for ?....

I'll dress it up and see if it looks less wormy... ummm ... no.. .NO !! OMGoodness..... where'd that mess come from??

Let's blot all that mess out and see if.... sigh... no... can't leave that either....

total different direction.... what a horrid mess !

So... I took white and swished it all away... all the terrible ideas.... and the worm.... gone. Now what? Who would have guessed all the chaos that is under the white?? I intended to start over and then.....

I walked away..... and came back in a bit and .... hmmm... farmhouse heart?.... or shabby chic??? I believe it is !

I announced to myself it was done, but mostly because I was tired of messing with it an hour and a half later and I was getting sleepy.

Now it's kind of grown on me.
You never know what all is under a "finished" painting, there could be many stories before the end.
That's kind of like people you meet. You see what is there now, but you never know what all stories are behind them.
I hope everyone is doing well and that your HEARTS are happy.
Luv Ya!

I like it. Looks like dessert! Better then the heartworm lol
Much better ! LOL
Awesome. I think the final result is great and only fell a wee bit of sadness that the sperm snake didn't make the final cut 😀😀
Oh ! sperm snake ! Even worse than heart worm....UGH !!! Just couldn't leave it (but you know it's still there !)
I shall never forget it's magnificence 😀
In 100 years when someone x-rays this painting they will wonder what that is under those layers of paint. Luckily we in the know actually understand the thought process. I love the explanation along the way! 😀
Hey !!! There you are !!
That's right, I've seen those programs where they find a totally different painting underneath the top one. They are going to be amazingly disappointed on this one. LOL !!!

I love seeing all the stages of your painting. It's what I love so much about creating. I have no idea when I set out what I will actually end up with it and that's the magic of it.
I like the version that came out of this, but it is definitely NOWHERE near what I thought would happen.
Maybe next year's Valentine will be bright and colorful....maybe.
