Help with a Valentine's Day gift idea...

[lynden.livejournal.com]

Hello! I have an idea of what I'd like to do for my boyfriend's Valentine's Day gift, but am a little unsure how to best carry it out. One of his favorite poets is ee cummings and I had the idea to somehow put an excerpt from a poem onto maybe a canvas and then paint something simple over it. Do any of you have any ideas on this? Basically I want to make some sort of art piece that incorporates part of a poem. I was thinking of painting an anatomically correct heart outline over the words. Any advice or ideas? I am sort of an art beginner... Thanks!
