The base color, the pink that you see, is actually a warm mauve. I mixed magenta with a bit of copper. There is a mild sheen to it. This is another possible submission to “LOVE SAYINGS: wit & wisdom of romance, courtship, and marriage.”

The words are from the poem, To His Coy Mistress, by Andrew Marvell. It was one of my favorites, a discovery in my college poetry class.  I found a site that suggested you should have Marvin Gaye’s “Let’s get it on” playing while you read this.  How times doth change.

Happy Monday everyone! More 30 In 30 goodness here.
