Will you bee mine, valentine?A simple question but one that can be filled with mixed emotions. Love, like, friends, lovers - what's in store for you today? Me, I will be working in the studio with my husband John followed by two little puppies Captain Jack and Princess Sophie. An evening planned with a romantic dinner for two eaten by candlelight and a bit of mood music sprinkled with a little chocolate. How could that be wrong, right? After 31 years together, I still think he's the bees knees and for that I will be forever grateful. Happy Valentine's Day to you and yours!
For some more LOVE - I'm joining in a Lovely Blog Hop commemorating this serendipitous holiday but also our love of art. I have been an artist for as long as I can remember and the smell of crayons will still bring a huge smile to my face. Can you smell them? I knew you would be smiling! On a recent trip, my mom commented that I was always pointing out ordinary things and making her really look at what I was seeing. It may have been just clouds in the sky but from my point of view, they were the prettiest and most colorful I had ever seen. Isn't that what art is about, sharing a piece of you so others can discover the beauty in front of them? I sure hope so! So please join me and visit my fly tribe members blogs and see what my art community looks like - enjoy!
What a beautiful valnetine!
