Valentine

This is a Celtic heart that I pulled off the internet several years ago and always meant to paint. Today I was inspired to do just that. I blew up the small heart off the net to 8 x10 size and traced it. The version on the net was one color. I decided to do a three color heart. My teacher in Shaker Heights, Ohio always told me to use a minimum of three colors. I think this is a rule that works well in watercolor. I'm using this a note paper for my Valentine letters next month.
