A holiday dedicated to showing love and eating chocolate?! I’m in! There is so much to love about Valentine’s Day. Of course, there’s the fact that it’s a day dedicated to showing the people you love just how much they mean to you.  And it’s not just about romantic love – although I do love celebrating with my husband! It’s also about the love I have for our three beautiful girls, the rest of our family, and the friends who add color and flavor to my life! I mean where would we all be without our girlfriends, right?! 

Valentine’s Day is also full of things to inspire my art. I have created so many fun Valentine inspired paintings over the years. And I love sharing them with you! Today I’m highlighting five of my very favorites and hope you’ll find some time to paint a few of them during this Valentine’s Day season.
