Felt With The Heart

Today has been designated as the day that "love" is celebrated. Happy Valentine's Day to each and every one of you that is reading this. If you have come here via the Fly Tribe Blog Hop - a special welcome to you. Please, please don't forget to leave a comment so I will know you stopped by.

I want to start today's post with a beautiful quote from Helen Keller:

The best and most beautiful things in the world cannot be seen or even touched. They must be felt with the heart.

 

I was inspired to incorporate this quote into a painting I created for an upcoming American Heart Association silent auction. I wanted the painting to reflect the "go red" theme, so I painted one of my favorite subject - red poppies. If you look closely, you can see the quote in between the stems, and a hint of wording at the top.

I think the painting would make a cool greeting card. What do you think? 


Speaking of greeting cards, how many of you remember the cute adorable valentines we used to exchange in grade school? Here is one that brings back memories.

 

 

And here is one more little valentine images. This is a photo my hubby took a few weeks ago when he saw that his toothpaste splatter that landed in the sink made a heart.  I mean, how many times does that happen?
