Happy Valentines day to those reading here 😀

Some love in the mail from art pal, Karenann Young

My damaged valentine is nearly finished, I wonder how many damaged Valentines will be woeful tomorrow or this the eve of all hearts day~~I’m rather joyous since me dad’s corazon is thump thumping healthily along.

Need to articulate the black pomegranates and work into the background for added depth and texture and debating about some more shadow/highlights in the hair.

A post in pics: We have new neighbors, they brought over this gorgeous plant

My patio flowers are flourishing with the wonderful weather we have been enjoying in Calif

There is a plant growing in the middle of our pool floor

T– is for TENDERNESS I know that you possess.
H– is what you bring me every day – HAPPINESS.
E– is for the ENCOURAGEMENT you give in your own way.
A– is for ADORATION you show me day by day.

Put them all together and they spell SWEETHEART

Scarlet is quite the show off at this point, and she still has one more blossom to open.

I recently saw Twilight and I was enchanted by Edward’s looks, the pale skin, dark red lips and dark eyebrows so I wanted to paint a vampire.
