Happy Valentine's Day! I figured I should highlight one of my more romantic pieces today entitled Dog Beach. Be it honeymooners developing their life together or soulmates that have been together for years, this scene is up to you to determine. On a day dedicated to love, I reflect on what it means. I have found my own true love this past year celebrating with my now fiancé. I also share love on a daily basis not necessarily in the romantic sense. I believe we all should love each other and freely express that feeling of appreciation and admiration even among friends. With more love this world will be a better place. I have begun to love all of you for the support in my artwork and continuing my journey here on steemit. As an extra bonus to all of you I am also sharing a step-by-step tutorial on how this particular piece was created (something a lot of you have been requesting). Check it out below.
Valentine's Day, also called Saint Valentine's Day or the Feast of Saint Valentine, is celebrated annually on February 14. Originating as a Western Christian feast day honoring one or two early saints named Valentinus, Valentine's Day is recognized as a significant cultural, religious, and commercial celebration of romance and romantic love in many regions around the world, although it is not a public holiday in any country.

It's a rare talent! I bet you can do oil paintings too. In my opinion, digital painting can be a lot harder at first if you use a mouse but because you can erase any mistakes and you don't have to wait for paint to dry, it can be faster after you learned it. I really want to try editing pictures with this software too.
Beautiful!
Agreed, I used to paint and draw traditionally when I had better use of my hands. The real bonus is the time it saves digitally with being able to "undo" as well as print at any size, not limited to the canvas. Thank you for your comment as always!
nice thought :)
Yeees,you better do.
follow and vote me pleas...☺☺☺
Nice pic but it looks like if you can buy it at a furniture store
nice one
I will take that as a compliment, I guess this means It would have mass appeal ;)
Romantic photos!
Beautiful. The colors look stunning.
Excellent photo, love the colours!
Thank you!
painting reminds me of a scene that could have been in “the life of pi”...
that movie where the guy and tiger are trapped on boat together... anyway, great 👍 image and article as usual...
"With more love this world will be a better place." I completely agree! Showing love-i.e. gentleness, thoughtfulness, understanding and compassion all of which can soften the guard some people hold up as barriers.
Absolutely, could not agree more, thank you for your comment!
Hahaha ha @makingthebest09
Yes, a very similar tone for sure, good eye!

สวยงานดี
Very cool, I am impressed!
Love the tutorial video! Out of interest do you sketch ideas before hand or get straight in there on Coral and Photoshop?
Thank you, great question! I usually have a Solid vision in my head so I don't really do a lot of sketching. I let the different references I use dictate how the overall peace will come to life. Stretching is usually a very important step but my process is a little different. If I'm not happy with how it's turning out, I will revert to thumbnails of other ideas until I find something that works. Appreciate your comments!
Very nice sir!!! You have amazing art sense.... And happy valentine too to you.. Love
Same to you, I appreciate your comment and support!

Thank you my friend! Appreciate your feedback :)
Where to start. Ok the beginning. So St Valintines day sounds all Sainty and great right? Well its not. Its based on two of the most sexually perverted rituals of ancient Rome. Juno Februata, the goddess of febris (“fever”) and Lupercalia (known as the “festival of sexual license”). Now take your pick of either. One would be flogging your girl with sacrificed goat skin so she will be more fertile the other is putting your young kids name in a hat where other young kids would then pick a name from. Do you think maybe they had a dance? Nope. They would preform sex acts at parties in Rome and be sexual partners till the next years festival. Now the Roman pope well he decided this may be looked at unfavorably. Wonder why?? So they decided to move it back a day and name it after a saint. Way to go pope!! Now this was like in the 490's A.D. So just more conformation that the pope has been covering up there sexual deviance for thousands of years. Just like they do to this very day. Now of course this holiday is worth millions of dollars and wraps up every mouth breathing face out there. So if you really want to do it right go get a goat for starters. Do you realize that Love is eternal? Like actual Love, I mean not this crap you see today with the divorce and single parent stats you see all over the place. By all means be a sheep its fine. Just don't be a goat today cause you'll be fucked in probably more ways than one. So go grab your favorite girl and whip the shit outa her with dead goat skins. works great the chicks will be all over you....Now the dog part you got right. Nothing like the silent, endless love of a well treated dog.
