Sweetheart Roses for your Valentine, Abstract floral


Valentines day is just around the corner,

History of Valentine's Day :

Saint Valentine was said to have demonstrated courage and valor in helping Christian martyrs being persecuted under Emperor Claudius II in Rome, during a time when giving any kind of aid to Christians was considered a crime.

Valentinus was arrested and imprisoned for this crime. He was condemned to death. He was beaten with clubs, stoned and finally beheaded outside the Flaminian Gate. After his death, this gate was known as Porta Valentini, later being renamed Porta Popolo.

There is a legend that says: while awaiting his execution, he befriended his jailer's blind daughter whose sight he restored to her. According to Alfonso Villiegas, in his book "Lives of Saints" the jailer was Asterios, one of the Emperor's lieutenants. He and his family were converted to Christianity by St. Valentine, and they were condemned to death by Claudius II.

According to legend, on the eve of Valentinus' death, he wrote a farewell message to the jailer's daughter and signed it. This is how Valentines Day evolved.

Still Life with Lilacs

The New Year has started and I'm off painting. reviewing and celebrating my accomplishment from last year. I posted 358 painting to this blog in 2009, missed the 365 that I wanted to do but I am very happy having finished that many paintings and not all were the small 6x8 that I like to do. So I am starting the New Year off with a large painting that I have been working on for months and finally finished yesterday.
