Happy Freaking Valentine's day ;-)

Personally, I don't much fancy valentine's day - but it seems it is good for business - so therefore I won't complain too much. However, I think it's a sad state of affair for people to only want to celebrate love or express their feelings for their better half, ONCE a year. True feelings of love and devotion should be expressed every day, in the small and simple things we do for each other. Love is not found in a Hallmark card, or the cheap stuffed toy with the huge label "made in China". Love is a choice, a choice you make every morning when you wake up, a decision to be good to the one you love.

That being said, it has been a hugely succesful day for the gallery. I sold 3 paintings of Carl Verster (Carl, if you read this - you know what this means right?), one of my own, and got a commission job for a huge charcoal sketch for a couple who clearly adores each other, and can find joy in the sensual lines of the body. I salute you for looking beyong the obvious and that what society demands of you in the name of "morality".

Whatever you do on valentine's day - remember life, love and everything else is a choice - so choose to love fully, laugh like you mean it and don't take life too seriously.
