I painted these two lovely couples on velvet as I thought the richness of the fabric experience would add beauty to their relationships. But alas, these paintings scare even me and I regret to say that velvet is not my medium. As each stroke crushed and matted the grain, these people grew uglier and uglier to me and I don't know how any of them got dates in the first place. With that said, many important art critics have praised my original velvet technique so I hope you will consider letting these ugly people into your home. Thank you very much, Bubbles the artist
