Day 7 Two Individual Hearts

Day 7 Heart by Mary GowNow on day 7, here’s another painting I created in watercolor and adjusted the look of it with filters.

These two hearts don’t beat as one.

They are two individual, healthy, thriving and separate hearts.

Honoring Courage

Day 6 Purple Heart by Mary Gow
Day 6 “Purple Heart” by Mary Gow
Honoring Veterans who have preserved our freedom. Here on Day 6 of my One Hundred Hearts Project, this is a heart I painted in watercolor and then pushed further with digital tools. This is a special day that comes around once a year, yet the benefits of the service of our veterans we enjoy every day. Thank You Veterans!

What Feels Like This

Heart No. 4 by Mary Gow
“Heart No. 4” by Mary Gow
It’s Day 4 of my One Hundred Heart Project.

I began this project on November 6th because it’s 100 days to Valentine’s Day – the biggest Heart Day of the year!

So the countdown continues.

Heart No. 4 is bubbling up, full of enthusiastic energy. Remember feeling this way?

“Enthusiasm moves the world.”
-Arthur Balfour

Heart Matters

Heart No. 3 by Mary Gow
Heart No. 3, Heart Matters, by Mary Gow
Heart Number 3 was originally painted with watercolors. I then photographed it and applied a Paper Artist filter. With Photoshop I adjusted the color levels, giving this piece an alternative dramatic feel.

As I worked on this piece I thought about the idea of a bleeding heart, the joyful heart, the oppressed heart, the peaceful heart, the passionate heart. How would you describe yours?

“The joyful heart sees and reads the world with a sense of freedom and graciousness.”
-John O’Donohue
