As we celebrate this day dedicated to love and
affection, may your heart overflow with joy and warmth. Whether
you're spending the day with a significant other, cherished
friends, or simply reveling in self-love, may it be filled with
moments that make your soul dance and your spirit soar. On this
Valentine's Day, let's embrace the beauty of love in all its
manifestations and spread its light wherever we go.
On today's Day of Love, I would like to share with you
two of my paintings that I did in 2019 (acrylic on canvas), when I
just started painting as a new hobby -- Love and
Family. Both of these paintings are dedicated to those whom
I love the most, my husband and my son.
In the beginning, I was painting very two-dimensional,
but I hope to develop my painting techniques to create more complex
works in the future, I am self-taught when it comes to
painting.
The second painting, Family, made a cameo appearance
in my book of poetry Sunset in Toronto published in 2021 --
page 35, to accompany the poem I Wish I Were an Artist from
page 34.
| Love, 2019 |
| Family, 2019 |
Art (in its many forms) is also a great gift for friends
and family, so I gifted many of my paintings to my friends as well,
on different occasions, such as birthdays, Christmas, housewarming
gifts.
Happy Valentine's Day to you and yours!
