love notes for valentine's day










each love note painting comes gift wrapped in hand painted paper with a hand stamped tag



a moleskine, with a favorite lino cut print, for writing your love notes







i love making these little intimate paintings. the process of layering and texturing is very meditative. then comes the tricky part, for the black ones. while the paint is still wet, i scratch the words into the canvas in, to my eye,  a very imperfectly perfect way. it feels like a secret message to the one you love.

i was asked to make a custom one for a couple who just got engaged. i was so honored and thrilled to be asked. i'm so excited for them!

there's a few more in the shop.
