Happy Valentine's Day 2014

:: HAPPY VALENTINE'S DAY ::

This goes out to, not only, the pale white heterosexual 

city dwelling couples, as illustrated, 

but to every ethnicity and to same sex couples and to

the less conventional and to the more conventional relationships,

everywhere in the world, and so on and so forth,

into Infinity.

A Valentine a Day : Monday

Today you get TWO Valentines!

I started a 'Valentine a Day' yesterday on my Facebook page-

* May these add a little something special to your week *

Whether you have a Romantic Valentine or not, it's always nice to spread the love!

Cheers,

Hey You!

with love, your neighborhood pals. 

File this year under shameless self promotion.

Here is a selection of some of my favorite Valentines

by, you guessed it, me :)

It came to my attention that, again and again,

I paint one animal giving another candy and/or flowers.

I guess I like the idea of hesitation on the part of the giver

and the utter surprise expressed by the object of their affection.

for me?

little ole me?

me? grazie

what,  me? meow...

Sometimes the message is sweet & simple

and sometimes it's more ambiguous 

but, it's always meant with love :)

Sunny & Chanel have not been produced as a stationery set,

 but they remain cheery and hopeful!

Venice, I love you!

Friends, I love you!

Family, I love you!

Animals, I love you!

I hope that's always clear.

May you all have a super fun Valentine's Day,

whether it's a romantic candle lit dinner

or a snack-filled extravaganza in front of the TV, 

Enjoy :D

xoxo, A
