Hope you had a fun V-Day! I did, and also painted a small card for my sweetheart.
I love mixing up the bright cold tones with gold sparkly details. The contrast adds so much life to it!
See you soon!

While we’re still facing the cold weather here in the Midwest for the next few weeks – and we likely will live a cold February 14th – there is no excuse to keep the love from blooming up, after all, Valentine’s Day could be one of the hottest days of the year (for some…!).
I’m on a love wagon, you guys. Self-love, that as well. Even if you don’t think you’ll be sharing this V-Day with a romantic pair, don’t hesitate, not for one second, to celebrate life, friendship, family, and…art! Why not?!
Candy Flowers is a simple piece, also painted from an inspirational image I found online. My excitement was very much related to the challenge of freehand painting, especially the vase. I have a very hard time freehand painting circular objects, the symmetry never turns out good enough. But that’s okay.
Overall, this made me very happy. The painting process itself, and the final product.
I hope you have a wonderful rest of your day!

Happy 2023! I’ve been MIA from the blog but in real life I’ve been working on some cute pieces, including this lovely (and fairly easy) idea for a Valentine’s Day card:
I painted this one for my beloved parter, it was inspired by an image I found on Google.
Also, I’ve been taking an online watercolor course, I intend to share more information about it in the upcoming posts, so stay tuned!
Have a wonderful day,
G.
