John Philip Falter Art

Love at sea. A nautical romance is captured as a handsome couple embrace. The big splash of water at the peak moment of drama symbolizes passion and defines Falter's creativity in communicating a romantic narrative. This is a companion piece to a romance story. Most likely done on assignment for a major newsstand magazine.
