THREE'S COMPANY

Elegant swans always catch my eye. They are enchanting and incredibly graceful creatures and show up in so many areas of the world.

This painting is from the long ago, probably painted in the early '90's. Wonder if he is the rejected suitor?

HAPPY VALENTINE'S DAY

This weekend I watched our four young grandkids laborously sign each of their Valentines Cards, and memories of long ago school days surfaced. I loved decorating shoe boxes or those small grocery sacks we'd use in the classroom to hold our Valentines. I loved getting Valentines.

I just really didn't like to sign all those cards for all my classmates. WHINE. If I could've painted their names, that would've been fine. Handwriting was never my strong suit. Wonder why my fingers still cramp up when I write, but I can paint for hours. Hmmm.

These swans seem to be flirting so I thought they belonged on the blog for Feb. 14, even though it's an older painting. Happy Valentine's Day to each of you! Enjoy.......
