Description
This piece is a 12x24 scratchboard with a bit of watercolor. Beyond basic scanner correction, there is no digital alteration whatsoever. These are two peacocks holding a lily if somehow I am not clear.The words on the banner are "amor animi arbitrio sumitur, non ponitur", or "We choose to love, we do not choose to cease loving" according to the internet translations that I sorely hope are correct.
This is to be a gift to someone who lost a loved one recently. I am very proud to give this to her.

when you used the phrase "We choose to love, we do not choose to cease loving" did that mean "one chooses to continue to love, and one decides against not loving" or "One chooses to love, but the cessation of love cannot be helped"?

I have a love/hate relationship with scratchboard when I'm making it, but once I'm finished I'm always thrilled and happy with them.

this is gorgeous!
and for some reason I think it would work amazingly as a tattoo, like a back piece or something. c:
