Life Is Sweet: Take A Bite
Hi Subscriber,
Happy Valentine's Day!
February 14th for many centuries was just an ordinary day. But in the
4th century a man named Valentine was martyred. His crime was
performing secret marriages banned by the emperor. Going to his death,
he supposedly wrote a note to his followers that said, "from your
Valentine". Eventually the Catholic Church decided February 14 was the
date to honor St. Valentine. But it was not originally a day for lovers
to show affection by giving flowers and gifts until the 14th century.
It eventually became linked to courtship and birds mating. Wow, we have
come a long way in how we celebrate this holiday! Although, I
appreciate the history, I will continue to enjoy celebrating love,
friendship and kindness on this day.

"I Love You Donut" 6"x6" - Oil available at the Art Boutique at
Mulberry Row in Sherman Oaks
_____
Here are two more new paintings hanging at The Art Boutique at Mulberry
Row, 13327 Vetnua Blvd., Sherman Oaks. "Enchanted Vineyard Beneath A
Blushing Sky" is 24"x36" oil. It invites you into a landscape where
twilight's pink blush transforms the ordinary into something both
mysterious and vivid. I chose a palette driven by contrast and mood
rather than photographic accuracy. The second one is "Dreams below the
Petal Veil" I hope you like them.

"Orange Delight" 30"x24" Oil
I am very proud that my painting "Orange Delight" was accepted into the
BLOOM 2026 Show at the R.W. Norton Art Gallery in Shreveport, LA! There
were 586 submissions, I understand that this was the largest year yet!
Artists from 28 states and 9 countries submitted this year, making it
extremely difficult for the judges to choose the 63 pieces that would
be presented in this year's exhibit. This independently juried art
showcase will be open to the public from 26 March - 17 May 2026 with
the opening reception held on Thursday, 26 March from 5:00 - 7:00. I
wish I could be there.

"Dreams Below the Petal Veil, is a 12"x12", oil. It is a quiet
encounter with contrasts-a stillness shaped by stone and softened by
the blooms. This surreal piece means to hold you in contemplation as
the flowers and butterfly breath joy and life and transformation.
