Take a Word Challenge - Hearts/Valentine

 
Yes, I admit it, life has taught me to be a cynic when it comes to lerve.  When I think of Valentines I want to shout "Bah Humbug" so I took a leaf out of Ebenezer Scrooge's book with this one. Painted by me in ArtRage (digital painting software).  The background is a collection of watercolour splats from Room 122 (free Photoshop brushes).

Well, it may be cynical, but it's beautiful! Love the blues.

Be cynical on valentine's day is a valid choice and you came up with a beautiful melancholic image.

This piece is gorgeous even if she is sad. I love her eyelashes and the background is fantastic.

The traumas of schoolgirl valentines (or not-valentines). Fantastic blue picture says it all, so sad, but she'll get over it.l
