It may be a bit sappy but the truth is everybody does it – we all look for the one who has the magic to unlock our heart, even when the means make it nearly impossible. Nearly, but the one who loves can do what seems impossible.
The study model was encouraging. Even though I used an air-dry clay, it cracked into a thousand pieces. I kind of glued it all back together and quickly painted it. It’s still hanging in there.
This little nymph of the woods or whatever she is, kind of played an inspiring role somehow. It’s some kind of vintage photo strangeness that brought out the softer side. What on earth is she looking at?
It may be a bit difficult to see here, but the whole idea is that the key on the chain is the means to unlocking the heart but it simply won’t reach – it’s seems impossible. But what is impossible with love? Well, alright, this is a bit sappy. But sometimes love can be that way and we have to live with it, damn it! -to be read as if you were Marshall Matt Dillon on Gunsmoke. He’s manly enough to say it, and he means it.
