Hearts and Flowers II

I have been asked to design some more cards for Stockwood Park Museum and also some paintings with a Valentines theme for a local shop.I went out today and bought some red roses and this is the first.Although I might change my mind tomorrow and change it.

Love is....

I bought this little ceramic elf  a few weeks ago to paint and what better time than now.Remember the comic strip ??  This just reminded me of that.

Red

How the colour red affects mentally and physically:

Increases enthusiasm
Stimulates energy
Encourages action and confidence
A sense of protection from fears and anxiety
