Valentine for a Liar, Singleton Hippie Art


Valentine For a Liar
(c) Singleton 2010 , Words and Hippie Artwork
SOLD
Cherry filled words
lined up in cheap little boxes,
beribboned
and glittered
and half price the morning after they're uttered....
I couldn't be bothered to listen,
but just so you know....
This velvet valentine's for you...
in all the cream filled colors
of yesterday's candy....
11 x 15 Watercolor on Strathmore coldpress. Sometimes in the deep dark wee hours of madness, we realize, lies are the biggest tell-tale truth ever told. This is the story of that discovery. Clink! To my little hippie child, embrace the moment, and be thankful, not for the tacky little stories they told...but the window of truth it opened. Have wings, little one...

Love Now, Singleton Hippie Art

LOVE NOW
(c) Singleton 2009
SOLD

Black vinyl spinning,
coffee table scuffed from Friday night shoes on fire...
I'm an Accidental Go~Go Girl
in knee high boots and love....

Sand castles sky high
and dripping,
periwinkle roads winding in never ending eights,
and I'm a Mermaid,
old and washed up...
and at sudden peace...

Highways with dotted lines,
burned out lights,
and ditches deeper than the sea....
Soft from the whrrrrrr of a thousand stories,
round ticket trips...
black licorice
and other stories....

Love now....
Every other day,
it's just another memory......

Make it good.

Words and Artwork (c) Singleton Original painting on 11 x 15 poster size Strathmore Coldpress Watercolor Paper. Watercolors, food coloring, markers, sharpie....the colors of Love and Peace, even the accidental ones found in drips and sudden gusts of wind....

Muah! I'm without internet most days these days.....sometimes I forget to pay the bill, sometimes I can't. Someday's lightening strikes and somedays, the old purr of the little engine that could just can't....too much cathair and cigarette smoke to roll over and yawn "you've got mail!"....but I'm always here in heart....
