Bear's Bunny Valentine & another lovely day in Paris!

As this morning's snow flurries turned to rain, my thoughts turned to Paris. 

It's almost February, so time to paint If I Were A Toy store's door 

celebrating Valentine's Day 2013. 

Last year, I painted animals in Venice, which remains one of my favorites. 

Today, I decided on Paris for obvious reasons. 

It is one of the most beautiful and romantic cities on earth.

Paris has been on my mind a great deal lately because my good friends, 

Margaret and Scott, moved there this month, for the next 6-10 months. 

I hope I will have a chance to visit them this spring! 

In the meantime, I have been placing several of my 

characters in Parisian settings. 

It will have to do for the time being.
