I realize that I probably should have expected The Diva’s Weekly Challenge to have a Valentine theme this week, but I had so much anticipation for the announcement that I didn’t even consider the obvious.
I don’t create many pieces featuring hearts. I don’t have anything against heart art; hearts just don’t organically manifest in my art very often. The Valentine’s Day theme, therefore, this week’s challenge lived up to the title for me. I played with several ideas before I came up with this one.

I was a little concerned about the minimal pattern integration, but My Sweetheart likes it and that’s good enough for me, but I hope you like it, too. If you do like it, please use the social sharing buttons below to like, pin, tweet or otherwise share “Valentangle” with your networks.

Wow, I love this! A very clever, well executed idea.
Thank you so much, Susan. I think I sometimes agonize over the execution just enough to enjoy the excitement of it.
Your simplicity is workin’ for you. Lovely job.
Thanks, Danni. My Sweetheart said that the simplicity of it is like our love… It is what it is, no frills required.
I love what you came up with. Of course he loves it. Beautifully flowing and uncluttered.
Between you and me, Jean, he might be biased. Haha! I appreciate your unbiased comments. Thank you.

My sweetheart is so amazing.
Thanks, Love. You’re the best!
I like this beautiful, flowing zia!!!
Thank you, Annemarie!
I came back to look at this – and found where the comments box was this time! Love it and the clean and simple lines you choose. It’s hard to leave space in Zentangle sometime but it really pays off if you resist the temptation! I’m still learning…

Thanks for your perseverance, Annie. I think I tend to err most frequently in the direction of overkill. I don’t think I have ever been accused of signing a piece with “not quite enough” content. Haha.
So pretty and delicate! I love it.
Thanks, Karen, for coming by to see it and for your compliment.
I like it! Very simple but HUGE impact.
Thanks for coming back!
