Vintage teenage pastoral love in its idyllic form

This painting, finished in December, 2012, very whole-heartedly tries to depict the teenage pastoral love in its idyllic form that existed during the Victorian era (1837-1901) or before. Those were some grand old, glittering pastoral days when in the name of love the young hearts used to flutter like the wings of a flying butterfly.
A delicately pretty maiden in red and a gleaming young lad with a cap on, both in their teens, could be seen in this painting, rushing towards home after a brief meeting, with an apprehensive mind that may their love affair forever remain a secret.
This form of love still exists and hearts still flutter I suppose, but have changed its colour in many a ways, mainly because of social and economic changes and a gradually increasingly materialistic attitude towards love and life.
