Artichoke Heart


While I'm sitting here still trying to come up with something new for Illustration Friday's word "celebrate," I thought I'd post something for Valentine's Day. I did this image in 1999. We live in an area that is abundant in artichokes which inspired this design.

Happy Valentine's Day to all my blogger buddies, and remember to include yourself when you're passing all that love around!

    I "heart" this. And now I know I'm not the only person who saw hearts in artichoke leaves :)

    Happy Heart Day

    Ps: think I will add artichokes and bearnaise sauce to the menu tonight!

    Happy Valentine's Day! I love the colours in your image. Very serene, despite the exciting contrast. I can't believe I'm actually getting to do a bit of visiting. Sophie's asleep! All the best.
