The first time I went to Italy I really wanted to visit the Murano Islands where you can see how they work the glass in different colors. I have always been in love with the pieces on glass from that place. I chose these 2 hearts in Murano glass. The red one is really old, my father gave it to me as a present and I always keep it close to me. I did not use it because I was afraid to lose it. The black one, I bought it myself in Florence, Italy. It has two faces. And I wanted to buy others more expensive but at that time my student budget was extremely limited.
I am happy to have them and put them together for this "portrait". Watercolors and gouache and then I put a bit of ink just to add some fun on them. Yes, you can see a little spot there... my coffee was too close this morning....
