Theme: Four Seasons
The four seasons of the year make for a wonderful romance cover art theme.
The power of love is as old as the Earth and as constant as the four seasons. To live is to love! At Sweet Savage Flame, romance is in the air all year long.
In 1971 singer/songwriter Carole King wrote the lovely song: “You’ve Got a Friend,” which detailed the lasting strength of love. James Taylor recorded it to great acclaim. Other artists like Dusty Springfield and Michael Jackson would put their own twists on the tune. These simple lyrics always stick with me:
Winter, spring, summer, fall
YOU’VE GOT A FRIEND
All you have to do is call…
Do you have a favorite time of year for romance?
