I’d Love to Paint You

Do you suppose the urge to paint someone you revere, who challenges you, excites you, makes you laugh, makes you cry, touches you in the deep recesses of your emotional psyche, and turns you on in a way you never experienced….is just your brain trying to capture the essence of that person, forever, so you can treasure her image and view it over and over as seeing her brings you more pleasure than you’d known possible? 

Through the process of painting, your brain can recreate even the tiniest of details you not only notice, but adore, and your heart can then express your adoration. When you are truly in love, every single detail of your lover makes your heart swell. For example, the way her cheek dimple deepens depending on the level of joy and happiness she is experiencing in any given moment or the way her eyes sparkle when she is listening to you speak about who knows what. Ah, ain’t love grand!
