Sit with me my sparkling gift,
let us gaze upon the calm waters of the sea
indulging in each other’s closeness.
Cozy close, allowing no breeze between us,
save that of my whispered words
telling you of my fathomless affection.
Listen close my cherished heart,
hear in my whispers the things I don’t say
so you understand your significance in my story.
Rest easy in your security,
doubting not that in the vastness of humankind
I’d have favored you above all others.

Postcards featuring this art which I created by sketching in ink and then doing light washes with my regular coffee can be found HERE.
If you would prefer a greeting card it can be had HERE.
If you are wondering… (probably not) I can tell you that this illustration is representational of my home area. This is the place I live. The view is from a bench overlooking the inner harbor of Port Angeles, Wa, in Clallam county on the Olympic Peninsula. The pier in the left of the scene is pretty much (though a tad simplified via Folgers coffee and an ink pen) what the main downtown pier looks like.
Basically what I am saying is that if you ever wish to have a nice sit down with your love Port Angeles has a nice place to do it from. There are many benches along a well kept waterfront trail offering this view.
