Love is Sweet...Food Illustration

Illustrating with food is a ball.

An apple ball.

Love is sweet

and tart.

Red Delicious

(so accurately named)

and Granny Smith

(which I will call Grand Smith)

is the perfect definition of true love

on this Valentine's Day.

The other feeling I wanted to portray

was that we carry our love around

with us in our heart

wherever we go.

Red and green have always been

beautiful color combinations.

I hope everyone is having a sweet

~Valentine's Day~

Remember the saying

a way to a man's heart

is through his stomach?

My husband is getting

alot of artistic, healthy food.

Sweet Valentine candy hearts.

How lovely to arrange a heart on each spoon.

A little extra pretty at the table.

Valentine Hearts in the Kitchen

Don't you believe in putting love into your cooking?

I do! Red pepper hearts for the little valentines.

Sweet things don't always mean it's full of sugar.

We didn't eat on time

as you can see I had alot of fun
preparing dinner.

This just shows hearts can

be put back together with love.
I did eventually get my fajitas made.

Kids love visual shapes at the table.

Fresh vegetables are good for everyone.

Red fruits and vegetables are loaded with goodies.

And, of course, I had to save the red pepper seeds!

Valentine Westie Dogs Art Daily Painting

Westies are the cutest dogs around even when they are full grown. They are like white clouds that run as fast as the wind. My westie boy is wondering why I have not painted him lately. He is such a good sport and always looks at me with the cutest fluffy face. So, I sat down this morning and painted these two valentines. I have to keep the valentine chocolates way up high because Sir Salty has a nose for chocolates. He can't have any because it is not good for dogs! But he can find some for me that my husband might have hidden. He likes the dark chocolate and I like the light chocolate.

Two little bluebirds are sweet on each other too in the painting. Soon it will be spring and we will see the real bluebirds when they come back. Yay!
