Heart-shaped glasses

I got my inspiration from the sunglasses-trend with heart-shapes. I had these glasses as a child and I see them everywhere now. It hints to Nabokovs 'Lolita', the bookcover showed in the late '70 and '80 a girl with a lollipop wearing these glasses. A lot of times it resembles innocence or faked innocence.

It is gesso with pencil on hardwood, but a lot bigger then my previous work on wood. It isn't finished yet.
