This is the second version of " The Lovers " With just a bit different background...adding the goldfish ornaments. I replied this morning to a comment about "the lovers "~~~ Actually…It is as if I know them, I painted them perhaps to tell their story in away..MY WAY. ...One thing is for sure.. SHE LOVE HIM…… She love him strongly, even though here, you don’t see her kissing him..perhaps because he starts this love scene… Must she at once, in no time show GREAT PASSION to him…or can she take the time to feel him getting close to her… ?... I see her as loving soul..graceful and soft… She will give him love, no less then he give her…NOT ONLY PHYSICAL…BUT MENTAL AS WELL.. She can’t just love physically without feel his soul…without not knowing more of him. without HEARING him..listening to him, knowing his emotions, by direct words.. The second part will be to feel and to let him feel physically. This is an EXPRESSION of love…the way I MYSELF see LOVE. Because LOVE, is not only the touch of bodies…it’s much more..at least to me.. it’s a touch of words , no less…and a touch of knowing basic things about each other. About him..you saw it yourself…so at least YOU must understand that he love her. Because you saw he’s getting close to feel her… Different people has different concepts about how love must be, I guess.. People see love in different eyes. " As I see love... The physical expression of love must come after a very clear direct expression of LOVE, verbally ,In actual words...not based on assumptions or any speculations. Assumptions or speculations may lead to misunderstanding of the reality, unfortunately. This is part of my opinion..I would LOVE to know YOURS, f you enjoy talking, or listening to ME. After all we support each other in so many moments...maybe these moments be properly artistic...But much more, we support each other's life..Perhaps ,we are very emotional as artists . I'm glad to have met you here my friends, and have had your support in ME, in so many ways...Thank you...!!!

Wonderful water color, Nira!! Love your story and agree with you!! It's certainly obvious that he loves her! True love is body, mind, and soul...not necessarily in that order! LOLGabrielle Stahlie 19 Feb 2008

astounding work in every way!helen tyralik 19 Feb 2008
wonderful Nira, love is both physical and in your very soul, we show are feelings moreso in touch as a kiss or hug can convey a lot , to love mentally or with your soul you are very comfortable with each other and feel by just seeing each other or sitting in the same room. Love can hurt when the other person is away from you but should also make your love stronger.Thom Roslan 19 Feb 2008
Great Story and Fantastic illustration too!Hiromi Green 18 Feb 2008
Your words is touch to my heart. I agree with you, love is not only physical, and also love is not only mental. Sometimes I asking to my self, why we have bodily? because when I loving to somebody or something, I want to touch and I want to feel the full of my five sences! Contrary, we are live in the physical world, but I think it's possible to feel a love with out physical. A way to doing is " Imagine". In consequence our physical and Mental is closely related. *Masterpiece of your work!*Tabitha Borges 18 Feb 2008

Great Watercolour and Words, Nira! Excellent!Emily Reed 18 Feb 2008
AWESOME WATERCOLOR, NIRA!Steven Torrisi 18 Feb 2008
Yes Nira, verbal love must come first because its the only way of knowing if love is truly there, rather than infatuation or lust. I don't think men and women express that love in ways other than giving gifts (i.e. who writing love letters or saying something poetic that comes from their mind rather than regurgitating someone else's words?)Hui Zhu 18 Feb 2008
