Where do I get these ideas???

I had committed to teach a class in a few weeks........

And I didn't have a clue what our painting would be.  The Collective Art Market, here in Lloydminster, is hosting a Sip and Paint Night and asked if I would facilitate it. I said "Yes", then Dawn asked me what we would paint.  

I had the hardest time coming up with a project.  I was brainstorming with my husband the other morning, and I said I wanted it to represent springtime.  We live in Canada, on the prairies, and winter is long.  I said Tulips, and my husband suggested clocks.  Click!!!  Put them together.  Yeah. Then he went to the store and bought me two bunches of tulips.  

Thank you, Dear. 

I painted one after the other.

I love how these wings came together.  These were done using my parents loveletters they exchanged while apart.  The got engaged after a short, three week, romance and will celebrate their 54th wedding anniversay in April.  The letters are filled with love and promises, hopes and dreams. 

I love the red lips she pressed to the top of the page with a little note that said "from me".

I have included the stamps and postage marks and some antique love songs, including "Tenderly"

Pen and ink finish off the painting with swirls and roses.
