Hi Sarah, this is such a feel good picture you have created.. It has a really beautiful emotion running through it. The mother with her eyes closed and a lovely smile with her arms fondly embracing her child, really set the mood. The simple lines, the pastel tones and the delightful cheek markings add to the charm of your drawing.. I love the little heart emblem between the heads. That adds an extra touch of that loving feeling your work conveys. Beautiful... thanks for sharing. I enjoyed reviewing this. cheers mel

Hi Sarah

Pure and simple indeed! I presume you are female which makes it odd your biography indicates you are male :D Lovely entry into the contest and good luck! R

Comment from Dick Lee Shia
Indeed, we don't need a heart figure to convey our interpretation of Valentines Day!
A sincere kiss, hug & bonding moment with out loved ones are more than enough to express what our hearts feel that the mind cannot understand.

Best of luck in the contest!
Thanks for sharing...

I recognized your fingerprints on this immediately. Super sweet message. I am happy for people who received love from either parent. Some do not. Nice composition and framing. Thank you for sharing and best of luck with this image
