Love At First Sight. Painting on Paper & 50 Limited Edition Prints
A flamboyantly dressed man in a vivid green jacket and polka-dot bow tie beams towards a startled woman with a cheeky, confident smile.
Around him, floating red hearts turn his affection into decoration, making his intentions impossible to miss.
The woman’s surprised expression suggests a moment she did not expect, a sudden jolt of attention that could be either flattering or alarming.
Behind them, a rich blue backdrop patterned with colourful florets, or perhaps stylised fireworks, heightens the emotional intensity of the scene.
Doug’s Pop Art cartoon style captures flirtation with both absurd sincerity and the awkward insecurity that often comes with romantic impulse.

Humorous and tender in equal measure, Love at First Sight celebrates the charm and discomfort of spontaneous affection, where bold gestures and uncertain reactions exist side by side.
