OK, still on this weeks theme of LOVE, i want to introduce you to an extremely talented local artist, whos work i simply adore.....Stephanie Lawson. She has an exhibit called Paris, Je T'aime on the Gold Coast at the WAY OF DESIGN Gallery at Currumbin at the moment....all about LOVE. I discovered her work sometime ago and have been in love with it ever since. I love the her use of colour texture and collage. I will not say much about her work,as i am no critic... but urge you to check it out yourself.
You can find her works here, if you'd like to see more:
The Way of Design, Currumbin Beachfront

She's also planning on doing some classes early this year...which i am definitely going to be doing when she starts. If you live on the Gold Coast and are interested, just email her at art@stephanielawson.com and let her know .
And i'll leave you with some LOVE quotes:
Love fills the heart with joy,
Fills togetherness with fun,
and fills partings with sweet sorrow.
You know when you have found your love because the smile in your heart will be bigger than the smile on your face.
Love does not consist in gazing at eachother... but in looking outward together in the same direction" Antione Saint-Exupery
To the world you might be one person, but to one person you might be the world.

Love is the only sane and satisfactory answer to the problem of human existence. ~Eric Fromm

a winged heart and give thanks for another day of loving. ~Kahlil
Gibran
Infatuation is when you think he's as sexy as Robert Redford, as smart
as Henry Kissinger, as noble as Ralph Nader, as funny as Woody Allen,
and as athletic as Jimmy Conners. Love is when you realize that he's
as sexy as Woody Allen, as smart as Jimmy Connors, as funny as Ralph
Nader, as athletic as Henry Kissinger and nothing like Robert Redford -
but you'll take him anyway. ~Judith Viorst, Redbook, 1975
Love is only a dirty trick played on us to achieve continuation of the species. ~W. Somerset Maugham, A Writer's Notebook, 1949
When love is not madness, it is not love. ~Pedro Calderon de la Barca
Love is the thing that enables a woman to sing while she mops up the
floor after her husband has walked across it in his barn boots.

We are all a little weird and life's a little weird, and when we find
someone whose weirdness is compatible with ours, we join up with them
and fall in mutual weirdness and call it love. ~Author Unknown
I love you like crazy, baby
'Cuz I'd go crazy without you.
