It's week 16 of Marie's Take a Word challenge and this week she has chosen ROMANCE as her word for our inspiration. Now, like Marie, I'm a bit of a Bah Humbug when it comes to Valentines and Romance but then I remembered about Giovanni and Isabella, who like Romeo and Juliet were in love but due to family feuds were not allowed to meet. Just look at how they gaze into each other's eyes, warms your heart doesn't it? Anyway, unlike Romeo and Juliet, this pair of lovers were not so wishy washy and much more disobedient and instead of meeting a sad end, they met one night at midnight, escaped over the city walls, built a cottage in the forest with roses round the door and lived happily ever after. Awwww!
Credits : well apart from a little help from Dover everything else is my own work. Thank goodness for layers, blends and styles in Photoshop I say!
Thank you for looking.

This is just fantastic Ann...Oooo I just love a story with a happy ending...and her hair is to "dye" for...and the color you picked is scrumptious.
Love your new Mona too...I may just have to steal her "against my will of course".
Ann, this is an exquisite artpiece - absolutely gorgeous. I love the softness of the colours and I did enjoy the story behind it. Great work!
Beautiful Ann! Love the story, the colour, the picture! Hugs xx

Awwww!!! this is sooo cute... the story that is!! I wish we could all run away and build a cottage with roses round the door, eh!! What a magical life.... fabulous, fabulous work, Ann
It' a great story and I love what you did with it. Seems more soft and monochromatic than what you normally do. Very pretty...and romantic of course! xo

Stunning piece Anne, soft and beautiful and not at all what I expected from you this week lol, you're always full of surprises!
Beautiful and delicate piece, Ann! I love your choice of colours, which is not the most usual for romantic pieces. Lovely work!
This is lovely, Ann! Love the happy-ever-after story, too!
Bonjour Ann! voilà une très jolie histoire , moins dramatique que celle de Roméo et Juliette !
Très joli d'avoir choisi cette unité de tons doux pour ce challenge ! J'aime beaucoup ! Amicalement Mary.KG
I do so like a happy ending! (Mind you, I'm not too sure about his hat - just as well love is blind eh?)
So romantic!!! A lovely piece with a lovely story, Ann.
What a fabulous piece, Ann!
I'm so glad your beautiful lovers weren't the starcrossed kind. Happy Valentine's Day, Ann!
Happy endings, who doesn't like them after all? Your couple is gorgeous (despite of his hat, of course :)
I love Romeo and Juliet story. Your piece is very beautiful and romantic.
Love the story and beautiful art to accompany. Wonderful romanticism!
Wow this is an gorgeous piece, but with sad stories behind.
