He is not happy, but she is. I also see a body of water to the right. Strange but I kind of like this.

marymc says,

together they create a whole... with the full range of emotions.

unknown116 says,

It doesn't seem happy. It seems so forced together. As if the love is there but the emotion and actions that come from love is not.

unknown116 says,

It actually sort of makes me sad to look at :(

Level1 says,

Did you sleep together?

Amapola says,

Level 1, no, we didn't - and I won't tell more, because I don't want to ruin the interpretations :-)

AQScott says,

You're the better artist. He looks square, you...well rounded. Is he hiding behind you, or just hiding. I see your openness, contentment, and comfort in your own skin...he's unsure...perhaps even angry. I agree with unknown, that it seems forced. Very interesting exercise. Thanks for sharing it.

Powerful woman. Man suppressing emotions ... he appears rather flat and almost out of the picture. Who drew first? Or did you draw together?

Amapola says,

I drew first, he drew right afterwards.

ba_miracle says,

I like your big slightly sublime smile, facing him, your eyes look a little closed (so keep them open;-).

He drew himself with little ears. Did he not listen well or have trouble hearing? Tight lipped, a little tense and was/is he really that unhappy?

I like that he played along.

Greek masks....

Jujeebal says,

Happiness morphed into despair

Mourningdove says,

Him- shy or controlling with angry expression.. She - calm and content.

DynamicDbytheC says,

Modern art.

lillybrook says,

Definitely opposites. But they might attract?

Steve__Anthony says,

She thinks: "Finally, at last." He thinks. "Get me out of this damn relationship."
