This piece is actually the 2nd of a smaller series within the project and it goes with "Liberal". I am doing a triptychc of sorts. Three hearts with tongue in cheek meaning:

"Heart's a fire"

"Bleeding Heart Liberal" (notice how it's red, white and blue... but with a twist.)

and the third???

Well I've got some humor in mind... we'll see how it pans out.... stay tuned!

One thing I did learn with this painting is that the cool drippy effect doesn't work so well with the tube of yellow that I have. I'll need to touch it up a little bit later because I overworked it in some areas. But for now it just needs to dry and rest. It's all a learning process!

(HA!!! I posted my 4th painting before Will could post his... not that it's a competition or anything.)
