Real Heart Art for Valentine

You are here: Home / Diy & Craft Projects ~ Sorted by Material / Painting / Real Heart Art for Valentine

February 2, 2009 By Rose Fine Crafts 2 Comments

If you, like me, at times get enough from the paper doilies, and want to create some ‘real art’ instead, I trust you will find this article inspirational.

Confession: like Jim Dine, I have actually never painted a heart painting for Valentine’s Day. However, I have made maybe 30 heart paintings depicting the going-ons in my heart. Most were made early on in my marriage, when I first started painting with acrylics. The raw passion shows.

Then over the years, just when I was thinking I was done with painting hearts, a new one would magically come out, like the one on the bottom left corner below, called ‘Friendship’.

Enjoy looking at my art. I hope you will love it as much as I have over the years.

Nope, I’m not going to tell you how to paint a heart painting, other than, well, to follow your heart and just do it.

As I will be emigrating soon, all of these paintings are for sale. Just send me an email if you want to see enlargements. Below are just 4 samples. Yes, I can do shipping for prepaid items.

    Your Valentine heart artwork is lovely. I can see the emotion in each painting from the colors and the images. Very nice work!
