I love it!!!! Some of the most touching old lovers I have seen were my patients in the nursing homes where I worked. Some were one of them lived there and the other was there from early in the morning until bedtime..... but one beautiful couple were both patients and had been married for decades.
As for folks our age who have found ourselves single........ love and lovers are still a big possibility for all of us.
I love that picture....... it says "love is timeless."


Be a prism, spreading God's light and love, not a mirror reflecting the world's hatred.

If it wasn't for Senior Friend Finder, that picture would not be us.

Well, his head is shaved bald and my hair is shorter.

I love seeing your paintings.

    What a marvelous picture, Bright, I just love it. We had an elderly couple at church who would walk hand in hand and he always opened doors for her. They are both gone now, but I know they are doing the same in heaven. Thanks so much for sharing!
Hello Dear Heart....I am glad that you like this piece. I love to see older people show affection for each other because it looks real and sincere to me.

    "Old Lovers", always thought my husband and I would end up like this. He was the love of my life, but sadly past away in January.

    I simply adore this piece brightsmiles, hope someone old buys the piece for his/her lover.
Thanks Ella.........I am so sorry for your loss. I hope that an old person buys it also Ella. I think I will do more like this since I rarely see them for sale.

Thanks for posting one of your beautiful paintings. It has been many years since someone held my hand or put their arm around me, but I sure miss that comforting feeling.

Hello Deborahsu2........Glad you like the piece and thanks for sharing your story. I agree and I think it is because our society now does not value the lives of older people as they once did. Today it is about the young folk and how we as older folk can look younger because that is what sells.

Hello MsEducator.......Thanks for your wonderful contribution. lol you have a great imagination because of the creative soul that you are........but no that is not a wolf....lol. That is an old tree trunk well 2 of them still standing.

I agree with you because I think when you get older you "mellow out" and are more concerned about the feelings of others and realize that it is not all about " me and what I want." It is all about "we and us" which is a good thing.

Hello Bijou....Glad that you like it and I am thinking of painting more like that to see if there is a market for pictures of old lovers.

The painting amazes me whenever I look at it, Bright. Wish I could keep it in my collection! Because, it tells me that old people like us can love our partners equally like young people who are deeply in love. We could also love someone who may not be our life partner and may not live in the same places, Bright! Love knows no distance or boundaries. No reason either. Thanks again for sharing the painting. Stay well. Love always and be loved!

Hello Looklook............Thank you so much for your response Look because what you saw is what I want people to see when they look at it. I believe as you do that love has no boundaries.
