There is a special story behind Valentine by the late Royal Academician Donald Hamilton Fraser. 

Before he passed away, Fraser had been very keen to contribute to the Mending Broken Hearts Appeal, but sadly was unable to complete a piece.

With this in mind, Fraser's wife kindly suggested and gave permission for a silkscreen to be made from a Valentine's Day card that he had once painted for her, as she felt that the image was highly appropriate. Fraser created a Valentine's card for his wife every year of their sixty year marriage.
