Another in the Enamorado Con Amor/In Love with Love series. Part of love is intimacy, but of course not all intimacy denotes love. Here it does, and the couple sparkles in the play of light and shadow against a sharply and varied colored background.

The pigments used in pastels are the same as those used to produce all colored art media, including oil paints. The binder has a neutral hue and low intensity.
Pastel is challenging because it is mixed and blended on the paper or other surface. Colors cannot be tested on a palette although with the new powder pastels you can. This work was done with sticks. Changes are not easy to make, as you can not just paint over things.
In use since the Renaissance, they were very popular in the 18th century. My favorite pastel painter is Renoir.
Enamorado con Amor/In Love with Love continues with this second and much larger version of Couple Snuggles on Sofa, which sold shortly after I finished it.
The background is textured. Like Coupe Snuggles on Sofa I there are strong colors fore and aft with strong highlights on the sofa and edges of the figures. Smoke rises through the white light of one of the shades, while the other casts a warm glow on the lovers. The curve of the sofa seems to envelope.
Couple Snuggles II is larger than my other paintings.
Please contact me for pricing. I had in mind that the owner would place it behind a sofa or love sofa.

Enamorado con Amor/In Love with Love continues with this expressionistic piece. Without love what kind of creatures would we be?
The background is heavily textured, applied with a knife. Strong colors fore and aft with strong highlights on the sofa and edges of the figures.

The third and probably the final of this couple embracing, this one more shimmery than the others.
Pareja: Enamorado con Amor (Couple: In Love With Love) III 35 cm x 29.7, 13″ x 11.7
Love takes many forms and we can always use more and can never have too much. We should not oppress it but encourage its flowering and deepen the bonds that hold us together.
This addition to the Amor series explores again affection expressed in dance. The first version of the dancing couple relied upon contours and left the background starkly white. Here I’ve eliminated the outlining and given the background a stark treatment.
