A "Couple Talk" Painting by Special K

by karen #1965 3rd grade teacher this is a very large painting that hangs over my sofa.it is 3 separate panels.since valentine's day is quickly approaching, i thot posting my "couple talk" painting might be appropriate.you see, this painting represents 12 couples...1-roy rogers and dale, 2-superman and lois lane, 3-fred and daffney, 4-jfk and jackie, 5-barbie and ken, 6-fred and wilma, 7-santa and mrs. claus, 8-mickey and minnie, 9-ricky and lucy, 10-tarzan and jane, 11-darrin and samantha, and 12-elvis and priscilla...each section was painted to represent a couple and they all meet together in one big heart...of course, i had to write on it...i guess it really isn't folk art...and i don't guess it is really pop art...i call it pop folk...
roy rogers says, "happy trails to you, until we meet again!"
superman says, "great guns"
fred says, "daffney & i will go this way."
jackie says, "hot spit!"
barbie says, "i love to shop!"
fred says, "yabba-dabba-doo!"
santa says, "ho ho ho...merry christmas!"

mickey says, "she loves me, she loves me not, she loves me, she loves me not, minnie loves me!"
ricky says, "honey, i'm home!"
tarzan says, "aaaaauuuuoooo!"
darrin says, "i take this witch, samantha!"
elvis says, "thankyouverymuch!"

and i say, "put some heart in your art.
paint it up.paint it down.
paint standing up.
paint lying down.
smile when you paint.
laugh when you paint.
make a face when you put that paintbrush in your mouth to straighten those brush hairs really straight
cause paint does not take good
but candy does
and it is valentine's week
so stop reading and eat some chocolate-
the love shack is a little old place where we can get together (B52s, 1989) happy february 9 3/4, 2010!"
