Love is messy. I didn't need to say much more than that — the name says it all, and the paint agreed. This one came together with a soft, voluminous heart in warm blush, almost tender in its roundness, and then I let the navy drips do what drips do: fall where they want, land where they land. Some hit the heart, some miss entirely. That's the whole thing right there. Love doesn't follow a composition. It spatters. It streaks. It leaves marks in places you weren't expecting. And somehow, out of all that beautiful chaos, something unmistakably whole emerges. Part one of what I suspect will be a longer conversation.
