“Be… Ever Us” – A Venetian Drift of Devotion

“Be… Ever Us” – A Venetian Drift of Devotion

Description:In this tender ink illustration, two endearing tiger cubs sit side by side at the bow of a classic Venetian gondola, gently gliding down a quiet canal. Rendered in fine black-and-white line work with soft cross-hatching on warm beige paper, the scene evokes both intimacy and timeless romance.

Their fluffy fur catches the light of a fading sun as they gaze forward in unison — not toward a destination, but into a shared future. Around their necks glimmer symbolic golden wedding rings: his on a slender blue necklace, hers on a delicate Czech garnet red — the only touches of color, warm and glowing, drawing the eye to the quiet vow they wear.

The architecture of Venice rises on either side — aged facades, stone arches, and shuttered windows reflecting in the rippling canal. Though no words are exchanged between them, everything is spoken in their mirrored postures and soft expressions.

Above them, subtly nestled in the scene, is the phrase:“Be… Ever Us”

A whispered promise of always, carried gently by the waters of Venice — where love floats softly, without need for words.
