This ACEO was drawn freehand, and then painted with watercolor crayons and mounted on another piece of watercolor paper that had been painted with metallic ink. The TOTAL size is 2.5 x 3.5. It is coated with a light spray of artist's varnish. This ACEO represents first love through the fantasy characters Leaf People, who live in the forest. The Leaf People stare into each other's eyes, their hair intertwining and their arms/stems branching out to enfold and ensnare one another. The thorns represent the pain that can be caused by too much togetherness, as do the "arms" that are not separated.
