11x11" Oil on Stretched Linen
Nearly fifteen years ago, my husband and I received this very special bottle of champagne as a wedding gift. It came with a set of hand-painted champagne glasses, in a beautiful gift box. I thought these Japanese magnolias looked nice with the painted flowers. I have gotten a lot of mileage out of the Beauty Roses. It seemed fitting to paint them one more time, certainly on Valentine's Day. Mike was surprised and pleased that I had kept the bottle, and even more pleased to see me painting this scene. I enjoyed a lovely dinner with my valentine!
