LOVE NOUVEAU


The first illustration above is called Love Nouveau and it's a piece I created for Valentine's Day. I've long been a fan of the detailed Art Nouveau drawing style - one of my favourite artists is Alphonse Mucha - and I also like the way the subjects are usually surrounded by an intricately detailed frame which makes it all the more romantic.

With this piece, I tried to merge elements of the Art Nouveau style with my own and use soft, feminine colours to create a unique, romantic piece for Valentine's Day.




Unfortunately, as V. Day is only four days away and I have not yet had a chance to get them printed, I won't be able to sell this piece before then.

However, I would still like to make prints of this illustration so I was thinking if I tweaked the colours and add some text, it may work as a lovely print for a Bride-to-be.

I'd love to know what you think about this one! Would you purchase this print as a Bridal gift?
