David Johnson, Valentine Aerogramme, Watercolor and collage on Paper, 4 3/4 X 7"

Watercolor and collage on Paper, 4 3/4 X 7"

Dave has been producing these Valentine images for years. A combination of painting and collage, they are tender micro-worlds. This Valentine features an aerogramme - the wonderful folding stationery that also doubles as its own envelope.

What a metaphor for the way we share and conceal our deepest affections.
