Lovers

15" x 20"
Acrylic on Paper

Had some fun being loose with this painting. It was actually done largely by hand, and by hand I mean with my fingers! Painting with my toddlers is really rubbing off on me, I suppose. I loosely tried to capture the image of two people embracing under a tree. I was listening to Dave Matthews' "Lover Lay Down" in the studio, and can think of no song more romantic:


Spring sweet rhythm dance in my head
Slip into my lover's hands
Kiss me oh won't you kiss me now
And sleep I would inside your mouth

Don't be us too shy
Knowing it's no big surprise
That I will wait for you
I will wait for no one but you

Look please lover lay down
Spend this time with me
Together share this smile
Lover lay down

Walk with me, walk with you
Hold my hand your hands
So much we have dreamed
And you were so much younger
Hard to explain that we are stronger

A million reasons life to deny
Let's toss them away
See you and me we
Lay down look see
She and he
By my lover's side
Together share this smile
Each other's tears to cry
