This post is dedicated to Drew, The Lonely Author!
Lonely, as I like to call him, has been resting up in the Dominican Republic. After a couple of heart attacks, he now awaits surgery.
Restless, I went for an alley walk (no problem keeping social distance in the alleys) and was rewarded with 3 fab garage doors. The moment I laid eyes on this painting, I thought of Lonely.
I have no idea what he looks like, but I know how he feels to me. Lonely is an incurable romantic, and that fact is reflected in his well written & passionate poetry. The colours in this art are like all of the colours, from the various moods, in his poems.
I don’t know what the artist meant by the bleeding purple heart, but that’s Lonely, to me. His heart leads his way. It seems like this image, was painted especially for him.
So join me in wishing Lonely a big GET WELL SOON! After all, he needs to get back to his series “Inspiring Woman Of WordPress”. He was only 2 dedications into the series, when he became ill. I am grateful to have been one of the two.
I picked this song out for you, Lonely. I hope you like it!

an imperfect flower (For All Women) is the poem Lonely dedicated to me. If you click on the pic below, you can read it. 
Lonely said he would be doing a health update post soon! I’m keeping my eyes open for it!

Wild mural. Great post for Drew.
I adore this art. Thank you, Tim! I hope Drew loves it!
He does. He does.
❤
He will love it. He is a very appreciative person.
Timothy, thanks so much.
I do love the post.
Be safe.
This is lovely wall art fine enough for Mr. Lonely. Sending best wishes and a big thank you for this lovely post! xoox
Thanks Holly! I wanted to show him some support in this crazy time. It’s double crazy for him. xoxoxo
I’m sure, sending out a big wish for Drew that all goes well and that all of our lives soon return to normal. xoxoxo
That will be a great and wonderful day!

Does your hospital have enough masks? I worry about you!
the situation with PPE is extremely disturbing. It’s a nightmare , hope we will all wake up soon.
Yes, I want to wake up, too!
The whole PPE thing is a big issue up here, too, but the government has stockpiles across the country. They stockpile for issues like C-19, but they never thought there would be one this bad.
They say we have 70-75 % of what we will need, and they are on it.
We’ll see if masks, etc. appear.
It seems like we’ve been mostly isolating, only out for food & needs, nothing else open, etc. for a week now. It feels like a month.
When I see new images of Wuhan, people are getting out again, but EVERYONE wears a mask. It is against the law not to wear one.
Yet, here we don’t need to?
I’m making my own mask, today. It will be washable , and Have a replacible filter made out of a Swiffer duster.
Bless you Sweetie
Bless you Holly. I am touched by your sweet words and Resa’ amazing gesture.
Thank you so much. Lonely does love it.
Bless you! Thinking of you and sending the warmest wishes your way.
Mr Lonely is grateful for Resa’s inspiring post.
Thank you for your lovely wishes.
I see Resa just posted a medicine woman.
She looks, powerful, brave, and determined. If she were a redhead it would be you.
xoxo
Bless you SWEETIE.
Awh! You’ve both made my day. Thank you xoxo
It is Holly! She just dyed her hair black for the post! xoxo

Le sniff! 😷xoxo

This ia amazingly beautiful. I went to the site and read the poem. Wonderful. Great artists. I jut love this whole post.
Thank you, Gi!
Thank you so much for dropping by my blog.
I am flattered by your kind words.
Be safe my friend.
Thank you and thank you for the beauty you add to live.
Smiling.
Is not the purple heart an American medal for those injured in battle? Perhaps the artist used that concept as a visual metaphor? I’m generally wrong, but that might be the case. Regards, TOF
Dear TOF,
True, the Purple Heart Is an American military award (injured or dead). I’m not sure what the artist meant, and it is bleeding, so there’s more to it. Yes, a metaphor.
LOL, I Googled Purple Heart, and Purple Heart emoji came up. The American military award was the second half of the meaning. Up front is; can symbolize a sensitive, understanding and compassionate love.
All signs point to Lonely!
I suggest you are correct in your analysis. Isn’t it a fine thing that a humble metaphor can be painted upon a wall. Regards, TOF
A wonderful post for an extraordinary man who inspires us with his courage and determination!
Thank you, Rebecca! I agree and thought it was a good time to send some courage and determination his way…. and {{{hugs}}}, too.
And {{{hugs}}} to you!
Hugs come with all speed to you!!!
BIG HUGS
xoxo
Blink. Blink.
You are very generous with your kind words. Thank you for your beautiful compliments. I am touched and speechless.
Feeling blessed.
Please, take good care of yourself.
Hugs coming across the way! Take good care!

OMG!
Dear Lonely,

I suppose we are both purple hearts, in a way.
We are purple heart friends!
Wow!! Perfectly chosen and so beautifully written and captured.
Thank you so much! I just wanted to show Lonely some support!
And what a perfect way to do it. I love those murals 😊
What a wonderful gesture of warmth and kindness.
Tubularsock is often cynical but you are a streak of love’s light!
Oh, and “Lonely” is alright too!
LOL! Yeah,Lonely’s okay! 😉

I wish Lonely has a speedy recovery and doesn’t stay lonely in less he wants to. Gorgeous art Resa!
Thank you, Cindy! Agree, the art is beautiful. Instantly thought of Lonely when I saw it!
Hope you are well!
Haha
How can I claim to be alone when I have so many wonderful friends here.
Thank you for your lovely words and wishes.
Grateful for your kindness.
Be safe.
Wow! What a wonderful gesture. Beautiful art.
Thank you! It was easy to make this post for Lonely!
I agree, the art is beautiful!
I know, it is easy to do things for Andrew!
How sweet. Makes me tear up.
Aww! Hugs dear.
You are so welcome.
You are a sweetheart.
It is an amazing, flattering gesture. In fact, I am thinking of painting my hair like the mural so I look more like him.
Resa rocks.
It is a beautiful gesture! That would be great, Andrew! Go ahead, I am sure you will rock the look. 😍
Oh, yes! Resa absolutely rocks!
See? Your heart is huge! Sending best wishes to Lonely and this mural is wonderful indeed.
Of course I had the song in my head upon reading the title…
Thank you, dear Thunder!
I bet that song is still in your head! I’ve been hearing it in mine for days!
It really is a Lonely mural! I was inspired to do this post the moment I saw it.
It wasn’t…. but is now!
Hehehehehe!
Thank you for your kind words and wishes. This was very inspiring.
And Resa does have such a big heart. She probably could lend me a piece to fix mine.
Thank you again. Be safe.
She would doubtlessly.
You too.
I read the poem. Beautiful words and images. Wearable poetry-adore this. Wishing Drew good luck, early surgery, and a speedy recovery.
Thank you, Sidran!
I’m looking forward to Lonely coming back and reading all the well wishes.
And I am coming back with a vengence.
Smooches.
Thank you for your kind wishes. I am very touched.
Grateful for your words.
Be well.
What a LOVELY, WONDERFUL gift You give!!! I just saw this over at Lonely’s. You ROCK! Cheers!!! 🙂
How nice that you came over here from Lonely’s! I just wanted to show my support, and it seems that in doing so, I get to see many other supporters!
Thank you, and stay well!
My absolute pleasure, Resa!!! And thank You! You too!!! 🤗❤️😊
Resa does rock. She is an amazing woman. Beautiful inside and out.
A person so willing to give.
I am still humbled by this gift.
Be safe.
🙂 You too!
A generous and heartfelt post
Thank you, Derrick! It is my joy to put some good energy into the universe, for Lonely.
I couldn’t see how to follow your blog?
Huh! There should be a follow button..thing on the lower right hand corner.
That’s how I followed your blog.
Also, there is a “Follow by email” button/tab thing on my side bar.
You have to scroll down a bit. It’s under a pic of me (from the back) shooting an ape on a wall.
Thank you!
I’ll have another look. Maybe I was just tired 🙂
I’ve now tried Both the suggested methods and each time my e-mail address has been rejected. This is not the only blog where this has happened. I’ll try again another day – I do like your work.
Cool! WP goes through glitches. It might just go away.
Ah… I should check SPAM! You never know who might be in there. I try to check every 2 weeks.
Have a great and safe Sunday!
It was a very generous gift by Resa.
I am so touched by her gesture.
What a kind and fitting tribute Resa. You picked the perfect mural and song for Drew. Thanks for sharing your big heart and eye for wonderful street art.
Aww, it’s the least I can do for Lonely. He needs some heart right now, and it’s easy to wrap one’s heart around some art and music.
Thank you!
Brad, Resa is amazing. She oozes talent like a jelly donut.
She is a wonderful person too.
Just like you my friend.
Thanks Drew. She sounds like a jelly filled jumble of goodness. My favorite treat. 🙂
LOL
Oh, God. If I said something like that I would get into trouble. LOL
You might get away with it. You can play the sympathy card. 🙂
LOL. Not a bad idea.
That was perfect, (especially the purple heart) and your words were too. Get well soon Lonely.
Thank you, Daniel, and YES, get well soon, Lonely! ❤
Thank you darling.
Thank you so much. Truly appreciate your kind message,
Be safe my friend.
You as well heal quickly.
Get well soon, Lonely!
Yeah! You tell him! xo
Thank you so much. Grateful for your lovely message.
Made me smile.
Be safe.
RESA—I LOVE YOU FOR YOUR KINDNESS AND COMPASSION TOWARD OUR MUTUAL FRIEND, DREW!
Aww, you are very sweet. It is easy to be kind to such a gentle, loving soul.
Credit the Lord Jesus Christ, my Lord and my God…and a few more years of maturity!
Or do you mean Drew? 😀
Let’s say… both of you! 😀
I like that!
OKEY DOKEY ! ❤

Isn’t she wonderful?

What can I say…look at the gem we have asa mutual friend.

Resa is a treasure herself!!!
This tribute is wonderful, Resa, especially at such a trying time for our dear friend. He is a staple in the blogging community, as are you… Hearts align, hearts strong xx
Hearts align, hearts strong! I like that, especially for Lonely, in this situation! xx
Wow! I can’t believe I’ve been blogging long enough to be considered a staple. (like you)
Where do the years go? xx
It is appropriate, isn’t it. Hearts align. I really like that.
The years go and friendships remain ❤️
You are making me blush. Such a gorgeous thing to say. I am flattered beyond recognition. Shaking my head and sighing.
Thank you for your beautiful words. I am touched.
Be safe.
What a lovely post for your friend, Resa. Wishing Drew well. Hugs on the wing.
Thank you, Teagan! Winging hugs back to you!
Thank you so much for your lovely words and kind wishes.
Resa is a treasure. I need to borrow her heart.
Thank you for your message.
Be safe.
Oh I love this. How perfect for our incurable romantic friend. 💙
Yeah, he is an incurable romantic. Now his heart issues, they can be cured! 💙
Miriam, can;t be cured of the romance, but hopefully, my heart will be cured of this damage. Smiling.
Thank you for the ray of sunshine you spread everywhere.
Grateful for YOU.
💙🙏
🙏🙏⚘⚘
Bless you for this post for Drew, Resa! I was not aware he needed surgery so he is now in my prayers! This post is perfect for him!! You are an inspiration as he is. Thank you so much for taking the time dedicating such a lovely post for this man. Much love to you! xo
It’s been a joy helping to support Lonely, at this time. We all wish him the best,and cheer him on!
I intend to do a post in support of our front line workers, later today.
Then I want to do a support post for grocery store workers and food supply chain workers.
I have murals for both of these.
Public transport workers, Pharmacists etc… looking through my insane archives of unpublished street art and murals, as well as published.
Sigh.
Anyway, my new Art Gown is moving slowly, as my time is taken up sanitizing, or otherwise dealing with the dread virus.
Nonetheless, it’s turtling along.
Don’t know if I mentioned it, but I have the fabrics (all second hand) for the Art Gown after this one, the one dedicated to Amy Rose.
Take care, sweet friend! xoxo
I’m helping an owner of the hair salon I go to who I’ve known forever how to come up with a system that is fair to get those of us who need their hair done as to who goes first etc. when she reopens. I’m dreading the thought of my hair not touched in 3 months time. Scarves and ingenious methods of hiding my roots I have to come up and I will. I have extremely dark roots compared to my blonde hair now. Anyways, I’m good at those things so I offered my help. I also received a letter from our Governor that went out to all RN’s asking us to come back to work. No thank you! Sorry. Not with what is going on and not with the immune system I have. So I do what I can behind the scenes safely. My hat is off to all of those people on the front lines!!! xoxoxo
PS I did not deliberately overlook how you are working on “my gown”. Sorry, Resa. Between trying to get a 3-month supply for everything needed in this house without overlooking anything (myself, hubby, and 8 cats, some who are pretty sick!), I’ve been bone weary. This “not knowing” where this insanity is going leaves my guts twisted at times. Once you get the sanitizing out of the way, I’m sure you will zip right through your creation. Love you!! xo
Aaaaw. You are so sweet. Thank you for your kind words. Happy you think the post was perfect for me. I so agree with you.
As for Resa. She is truly inspiring and giving. A wonderful artist and person.
Smooches for both of you.
Resa, what a gorgeous and sweet tribute to Drew, just perfect! You are such a sweetheart!!! 1000 kisses and hugs across the distance
What a sweet post for Drew. I love the artwork. I’m sure your good wishes will really warm Drew’s heart. Hoping for a perfect outcome for him.
I enjoyed making this post for Drew!
Me too, I hope all ends up well!
What a wonderful dedication, crowned by the song of Roy Orbison, its priceless. Get well soon, LonleyAuthor, and stay save, in these days (of a little bit more horror as normally). Michael
Beautiful painting and the colors are majestic and the heart is stunning. 🙂
I agree, Charlie. Hope you are well!
🙂 How are you Resa? Hope all is well on your end? How’s ‘ArtGown’? Any new music you’ve been discovering?
I’m well! Hope you are, too! I found an old song/poem by Leonard Cohen. I just posted it! It applies to the garbage we are living through.
I will be stopping by soon. 🙂 Leonard Cohen was such a genius and super talented. 🙂
