Happy Easter!

 Wishing you a Happy Easter and a beautiful Spring! Yes, I know some of you are still in the midst of winter, but spring will soon be on your doorstep too! And what is more perfect than a bouquet of daffodils? Well, maybe a watercolor of some of those yellow beauties! In reading about the language of flowers, daffodils represent chivalry and uncertainty as well as being the Flower of Easter.

Now if you would like to have a giclée of this daffodil image for your very own, you can shop online through Etsy! That's right! I want to introduce you to my newest venue where you will find a variety of my images for purchase.  Just go to www.etsy.com/shop/CatherineSickafoose and you will find notecards, giclées, ceramic tiles and small originals. It's still a work in progress, so check back often for updates.

Valentine tulips!

Did you know that flowers send a special message from the giver to the recipient? It's called floriography, a Victorian-era means of communicating feelings that could not be expressed openly. Tulips are a declaration of love.  This original watercolor, "Tulips: A Spring Event", image  7"x11",  is ready for you for Valentine's Day! Wouldn't this painting be special for your sweetheart or maybe just for you? Contact me and it can be yours for $149.00, matted only, includes shipping. (shhh - A Snapshots in Watercolor Blog special - no prints available and not shown yet on my website.)
