14" X 18" acrylic mixed media on canvas
This is a very large Valentine that I painted for my husband. The layers under the acrylic paint are constructed of various souvenirs from special things we did together. There's a ticket from the B.B. King concert we attended on his birthday, a hotel coaster from the Excelsior in New York, a brochure from Charleston, and a pamphlet from a garden in England. The wings are made of a photocopy of a poem he wrote me two Valentines' Days ago.
