Valentine’s Day

It’s hard to believe we are in the middle of February. Winter is dragging on. We’ve endured a very stressful week with a family crisis. Thankfully all went well and there is light at the end of the tunnel.

I have a bit of a battle ahead for me as I deal with some challenges to help my son, but I’m hoping for the best. I admit I hit a few dark places this week when the stress became too much. Especially when I had to go to work and put my problems aside.

Now that the dust has settled and we have a chance to breath, I want to take a moment to focus on Valentine’s Day. We tend to think of flowers and chocolate with Valentine’s Day.

These are some garden flower watercolor sketches. A rose...






















Wildflowers, Spring Beauty...























This is a day to show those who are special in our lives how much we mean to one another. I count my blessings for this man who has been by my side.
Happy Valentine’s Day everyone!

Eleanor, the watercolours are so lovely - my favourite is the second one!
Here we still struggle with snow and cold so flowers really could help:)
