Take a Word #16 - Romance


The image has been coloured from black and white and is from e-vint.com collage sheets.  Other elements by Dawn van der Stoep at Createwing Designs.
Happy St Valentine's Day to all our blogger friends!

Sorry!  It's not really ME  to post a sentimental piece for Valentine's Day so I decided to include this one which suits me to a tee.

    To be honest, I was expecting a real 'bah humbug' piece from you, Marie, Such a gorgeous romantic piece!
    (re: my macabre piece - did you spot man in egg?)

    This is fabulous, Marie. Your coloring is awesome and I love the Punchinella in the background of the arch. Gorgeous!

    Brilliant coloration on this, Marie. The stark white of the bird is a perfect touch as well. Beautiful, simply beautiful!

    Marie, this is so elegant! I love the bubbly things and the swirly bird. The gothic arch is wonderful. And your coloring is superb.

    She is very romantic- that frame around her works perfectly. The bird image is a nice compliment!

    Whwn I saw the first piece I was just a little surprised, (hey I think I know you by now) it is gorgeous though, I love the background particularly. The second piece gave me a great old chuckle (I remember you did another piece on the moaner/lisa theme once I think), it's pure Marie and made my day!

    Marie, you never cease to surprise me! Just as I had been admiring your beautiful collage (#1) (I love the colours and the arch form) I scrolled down and saw your piece #2 - and I burst out to laugh, this is so funny and so much you! I love this!

    By the comments, I can see you post the second piece some time after the first one... By the reactions, it's clear that our friends long for your humor not for romance :D The first one is so gorgeous, though waiting sadly for someone who, clearly, is not coming it's not my idea of romance :) The 2nd is you in your best. Bravo!

    Marie, your first piece is beautifully coloured and I am in awe, as always, at how you manage to achieve such a seamless job. The colouring on her face is exquisite.

    Your second piece is a wonderful 'thumbing the nose' at the whole idea of valentines and romance. Pure joy my friend.

    Well, knowing you as I do (for Fairy Godmothers know everything!), I was somewhat surprised by the first picture! Then, you did not disappoint me - for we can't all be soppy romantics or the world would be awash with rose petals and everyone would get fat on chocolate!

    What a contrast! Both are wonderful work, but the second will keep me laughing for a while, Marie.

    Hi,

    First,,thank you for your comments on my blog. Secondly love your work, I just do not seem to be able to produce this type of image and wondered if it is the program (Elements 9) of just do not have the know how or clip art so to speak. Let me know some of your secrets.

    Cheers

    Well this is looking at romance from different sides and I love them both- beautiful and so creative Marie. Love is blind but you should keep your eyes open!

    Oh Marie both your pieces are fantastic, since Valentine's day is not something that we celebrated in Denmark, I prefer your second version because it made me smile, thanks for your nice comment on my blog.
