Cool.
Looks very much like something you'd find from the 50s or 60s. A classic Valentine's design mixed with some neon.
Nice bold colors and sharp lines.
Thanks for sharing.

Comment from Snopaw


This is gorgeous Shawn. There is a lot in the piece that I really like, starting with the shiny pink and gray satin like portion, the nice textured backdrop, the glowing stars and the paint brush indicating a final flourish. Excellent dimension all the way around. Between you and Janrique I know for sure I am not entering this contest. lol. Best of luck. Shirley

    LOL. No competition here. Thank you so much, Shirley, for the fantastic rating and super comments. This may look simple, but I think I spent more time on this than I have on anything in quite a while (and I'm still playing with it) :) Again, thank you.

Very traditional, and wonderful, this heart with the writing of sweet love. The reflection and sparkle give this greeting a very real 3-D effect/ I think adding the paint brush adds just the right touch. You have accomplished a very professional image.

This is a cool image of valentines. It has a sense of nostalgia to it, whichin many ways is pastly what valentines is; that is to say romatic nostalgia. like it alot very fifties style of context and composition. Well done.

I have many I care for, and it would have been lovely to send your art work to them. I love the brush painting this special greeting and the small blinking stars. The different patterns you have used inside the heart make it full of life. Beautiful colors and color nuances. The green nuances of the background suits very well in color to the red and pink heart. Thank you for sharing your painted Valentine! Karin.
