I may not know much about art...
But I know what I like...and I LOVE this...
Sunday evening we were on the phone and Alex said she had a present for me. I thought it was the blanket that she washed that got dirty at Shakespeare in the park or maybe my cell phone holster which I dropped at her place and couldn't find later.
Well, she did have both of those...
...AND...she then gave me this. A simple 8 1/2 X 11 sheet of paper, done in ink and watercolour commemmorating our date the night before at Shakespeare in the Park.
I cannot tell you how much this small gift touched me. No one has ever given me hand-made art before and I kept staring at it, trying to take in every detail...still quite stunned that anyone would take the time to capture something like this in such an extraordinary way.
I absolutely will be having this framed and hung proudly on my wall. Hopefully hung in a place where I can see it often and remember the beautiful simplicty of it all: Lying on a blanket under the stars, Chatting about our relationship before the show and at intermission, Picking apart a roasted chicken and drinking wine, The words of the greatest playwright in the English language wafting over Art Hill and a truly special woman who I love and who loves me to share it with.
It's by far the best present I've received in a long time.
