Valentine Heart WIP finished

12x12 torn paper collage on canvas is now finished after a 3 day work in progress, about 2-3 hours per day or more.  I think the colors are great with the reds against neutrals and all that is left to do is to put several coats of gloss varnish by Liquitex over it for shine and preservation.  So many things are included in the heart such as blush brushes, red sofa, red dress, dice, jukebox, flowers, an apple (for that Adam & Eve connection), a lobster (for that romantic dinner), Tabasco hot sauce bottle, Big Red soda, and tomato juice.
