hear/how the bells





the vienna boys choir has been singing this in my head 
for the past week.  and then as i was writing this post,
i happen to see the lyrics and 
realized i've been singing it completely wrong my entire life!
(and now have the artwork to prove it!)
i guess the correct version is "hark how the bells...."
looks like i've been "hearing" it differently all along....hahaha!

ding-dong-ding-dong.....  :))

inktober #24



inktober day twenty-four,  prompt:  "one dozen"


i must admit that when i first saw today's prompt,  i thought, "really?!".
but once i started thinking about it,
 everything kind of fell into place, one heart at a time.
because these hearts appear in my artwork today 
for some very special reasons:

first.....unfortunately, this will be my last inktober post this month,
but you know it would take a really good reason for me to bow out 
of the challenge early, and i've got the best reason in the world....
our daughter is marrying the love of her life on saturday,
and it's go-time!  i've got to get ready for this celebration of big love!

second.....while this artwork contains twelve hearts,
it was created to hold the power of a lot more than that,
and it was created with all of you in mind.
each one of these hearts holds about a gazillion
little hearts, and each one of those gazillion hearts holds 
my gratitude and appreciation for all your visits to my 
blog, instagram, and Facebook, as well as
 your sweet, supportive, and encouraging comments.
thank you from the top, middle and bottom of each one
of my heart of hearts!!!

third.....you know i love any reason to draw a little heart 
here and there.  add some chocolate, and things really start 
getting crazy..... :))


thanks again for coming on this inktober ride with me....
i'll be back in cyberspace very soon!

i'm not usually a rule-breaker,
but today i took Mr. Picasso's advice....

by adding some pencil to my ink drawing.

my heart is so happy, 
and it feels absolutely awesome to be an artist!
