Happy Valentine's Day!

Happy Valentine's Day!



I've been working on some Queens~of~Heart's...



(painted in acrylics on dried gourds, accented with polymer clay crowns)



suitable for Valentine's Day, but really meant to be Queens



of the Alice~in~Wonderland type...



I wonder what you call a bunch of Queens?...



A Bunch?...A Bevy?...A Horde?



Anyway, I'm working on several Queens,



and Leo is helping me...;)



(They're going in my Etsy shop this weekend.)

No matter how little room I leave for Leo on my painting table,



he manages to squeeze himself in...



(I don't do it intentionally... art "stuff" just collects around me...



encroaching on Leo's space...;)



He knows if he makes it look difficult enough to settle in, I'll move some things around.



Good help, that Leo is.

"I'm dangerously close to the edge here, Mom!"

I have to get back to painting,



 but I'm leaving you with wishes for a fun day,



and some vintage Valentine card scans...



They're large files, so you can do a lot with them...



(Next year, right?...If you're like me, you tell yourself that quite a bit!)



Enjoy!

These (above) were so popular when I was in grade school!

I'm always "drawn" to arty ones...(bad pun, I know)!

Louis Wain kitties are wonderful!

Isn't this unique...but odd?



Being a Scorpio, it's my favorite of the group...



Kind of a Halloween~Valentine, though!

One more thing...



I bought "Conversation Hearts" tonight,



and then I changed them a little...



;)



Have a wonderful day!



More soon!
