These Dreams of Love

These Dreams of Love  is a12x1.75 inches mixed media painting on canvas.

The title of “These Dreams of Love” and its colors are inspired by my recent infatuation with romance novels and how I imagine castle gardens and tapestries between their pages. These two swallows fly under a full moon toward snippets of a French romance novel I picked up on the sidewalks of Paris as they dream of their own happy ending.

Flowers include a tulip, sunflower, daffodil, zinnia and daisies.  Tulips are symbolic of deep, true love while sunflowers evoke hope and turning our faces toward the sun.

Mixed media elements include pages from a French romance novel, handmade Nepalese paper and other snippets of papers from my travels.  

Signed & titled on reverse and fitted with wire to hang on the wall without a frame.
