Heart Art (With Commentary)

Hello again,
I recently created this design, originally shared it on my blog, xenzuu and clickasnap .
I designed it for my wife, it's one of my simplest designs, and also one of my favorites.
I look forward to knowing what my connections here think of this art
I know romantic type pieces might not be everyone's cup of tea and that's perfectly fine.
I don't really have a lot to say on this design, but I wouldn't mind a Q & A session in the comments if that might be of interest to anyone.
Anyway, I suppose instead of rambling on I ought to wrap this up soon.
I appreciate you all taking the time to check out my post.

When I first saw the picture, I didn't see it as romantic. I like it as a design but more as an alien mask or possibly a logo;however, I am not artistic, so feel free to totally discount this comment.

I don't know that I would label this piece romantic. I don't intend it as an insult to say this, but an honest thought... It reminds me of some kind of snap for a harness, perhaps a parachute?

I'm not insulted at all, everyone has different interpretations, the reason I'd classify it romantic is that there is a black heart at the center.
Anyway, your takes are interesting, Vince & Meg.

It must be hard, earning money by "pen and brush". People are different and have differing tastes. I imagine (again, I'm not an artist) that the artist would have to choose between: 1. Sticking to their personal tastes, to make a statement, or 2. Listening to others and changing, in order to make money. Statement or money... I think that's what it has to boil down to. Sometimes (but I feel certain, rarely) the statement and the money come together.
