My first Valentine's painting. Wayne Melo, wise collector, own also my first Salvador Doily!

Refusing to be hurt again, we brick up the garden of our heart, cement it against temptation. But time erodes our resistance, and one day we remember: The sky! The blue! We cannot wait to tear our way into turmoil, seeking anew the reward of pain of uncontrollable emotions.
