dreadlocks valentine

Yesterday at the post office I saw a guy with dreadlocks to his waist.
His hair was so furry, it reminded me of the Inspiration Avenue challenge this week which is fur.
In my sketchbook I drew a tangled mess of smudged up words in my art.
They represent the message in furry dreadlocks which is often natural freedom, spiritual journey.
...and ONE LOVE

    I was so used to seeing animals this week, I was delighted to see this lovely drawing. The smudged words are perfect for the furry theme. You always come up with something clever. That's why I love visiting!
