A valentine’s themed watercolor for this week’s IF word of “Climbing”. I drug out the real watercolors for this one – not the photoshop ones. And I remembered why I both love and hate watercolors. I’m not sure exactly the story behind this one. Surrealism, robots, hearts, and even a robotic cupid [included since Diane's Daily Art Stop challenge is Angels and Cupids :) ]
PS – Don’t forget to enter the Anti-Valentines Contest! I’m sure some of my ultra talented art friends can come up with a cool illo — maybe an anti-vday card!?
