Hello again, beautiful artists, and happy almost-Valentine’s Day. It’s during this early springtime, late winter season where the very first blossoms of the season will begin to reveal themselves. This week we are painting an ode to Van Gogh’s work capturing these beautiful blossoms with a Valentine’s Day take on his Almond Blossoms painting.
