Happy Valentines Day!

Happy Valentine's Day, my blog friends!


I thought I would provide you with a little creative inspiration today... take a look at some of the colors, shapes, patterns that are used in these amazing paintings!

As many of my regular followers know, I have a background in fine art, and every now and then share some of my favorite artists and painting.  How about some love today??

Gustav Klimt...The Kiss... (one of my personal favorite artist.  Don't you just want love to always be like this?)





















































Renoir...The Lovers
The Lovers - Pierre-Auguste Renoir - Painting Reproduction









































...or the love we have for our children... (Mary Cassatt, Mother and Child")



...or we could just love that spring is hopefully around the corner...Claude Monet

























Happy Valentine's Day...for whatever kind of love you are celebrating today!

Oh I love Klimt too, and all of them, But Monet is likely my favorite. I have a soft spot for impressionists... <3 This post makes me miss France and Paris! :-(
Hope you had a great V-day! :-)
