These pictures do not the hearts justice! After looking at them in natural light, there were some amazing works. #1 had some very rich texture applied that I have never seen done before. Very nicely done.

This was a great event. We spent a family afternoon walking around the Village looking for and at the hearts. We narrowed the field to ##2, 5, 7, 14, 22, 28 & 35. If we can only pick one favorite, it will be #7 - Vanity Fur!
