Art from the Heart

I love Pop Art, and Valentine's Day is a day to celebrate with colorful, stereotypical heart shapes! Here we have the flat, simple outline of the heart.

Jim Dine, "hearts"
Dine is very orderly with his composition of multiple hearts on an ambiguous gray cloud.
Any Warhol, "heart c 1979 (red on black)
Andy mixes it up a bit by running the heart over the page edges.

Finally, Dine gets figurative and gets away from the 2-D. Plainly passionate!

A Big Heart

Valentine's Day Party!



Susan Fadem, writer, editor, and jewelry designer
So when you have a heart as big as Susan's, you have a party! And what better day to gear up for than Valentine's Day!


The night was very snowy, with already 7" on the ground.  That did not stop the revelers!

Crystal Jackson, artist
Crystal Jackson generously drew portraits the whole night long!


Another sweetheart, my daughter Emily's junior kindergarten teacher at Beasley School, Meg Richardson.  She will ALWAYS have a special place in my heart.
