Description "Most people live for love and admiration. But it is by love and admiration that we should live. If any love is shown by us we should recognise that we are quiet unworthy of it."

thankyou very much, i decided to put the heart further back in the frame to show a little more expanse of grey, to show how much love is smothered by its dull surroundings sometimes. and to try and give the feeling of the gentleness of love in this harsh world.
i'm very sure you knew that anyway but i think i wanted a blether just there!!! thankya.

A beautiful red heart in a cold grey world. ^_^ That's so inspiring Ben. The words you chose to go along with his are so very touching. Great idea. We must have been on the same idea path with the red heart thing. ^_^

GossamerWings In reply to chapterone [2004-08-23 15:39:16 +0000 UTC]

No no no no..that's not bad at all. In fact, it's wonderful. It's so nice to see those thoughts, expressions and feelings of LOVE much more so than the sadness, pain and loss that so often occurs in art. I look forward to the next submission of yours.

hbynoe [2004-08-22 14:17:42 +0000 UTC]

this leaves me sad cause of your words
at times i choose to believe that
the love i have in my life...is mine and i am
worthy of it and the people i love vice versa
this is a sad way of looking at life...maybe a
bit to cynical for my little over sensitive
heart...but it is good cause you always
keep yourself in check
i love the image ben..so vibrant
so full of solitude
great work ben

sunsetseason [2004-08-22 12:42:41 +0000 UTC]

It's like the heart was just dropped onto the ground by someone passing by and left there to be alone, the heart most likely belonging to someone who loved them deeply, but the feeling wasn't mutual...
Excellent textures indeed, the heart's texture blends in with the concrete.
