  • lameeee

  • my most romantic moment... well i'd have to say

    being asked to climb a water tower at 4 am with a boy (of course) and looking at the stars and just ... talking

    most romantic. thing. ever. <3

  • You seem high maintenance to me. Win MY heart and go get me a beer. Burp!!! Be careful what you wish for. It never turns out the way you thought. I would rather be a free spirit. I make a great GHB spiked omelette if you like food. You may not call me for a few days afterward though. Don't bring the police. A poem: I like your art. Great use of color. The end. I am an ice cube in hell but I am sure more are worthier than I so don't really care. Good luck to them. You are too pretty for me.

  • Yackh

  • There goes the 'no hawt girls on the internet' myths.

    You are freaking gorgeous, it's chilling my spine!

  • would you know were to find a girl your looking for she disapered and i couldent even tell her i loved her

  • ti querro mucho porque eris perfecto y guapa!

  • Your pretty.......interesting.

  • You so nice and i hope you see my video of music i am musican and

    i like you kissssssiiiiiiiiiiiiii

    lg andrea

  • Do you have a significant other human whatever? I bet you do.

    The image you painted on canvas and the way you describe it is just stunning, beautiful and dreamlike. I can understand your initial thoughts as an artist and an art-admirer.

    Someone as genuine and inquisitive as you must spend many Valentines days with someone special. Cheers, you are a jewel!

  • i cant write you sweet poetry or buy you expensive things to win your heart,like most people are able to, but what i can do is tell you that you are a very wonderful and beautifull woman, you are intelligent, very admirable, and i would love to just be a very good friend if i shall not be able to win your heart.

    sincerely kam.

  • Two Parts Of A Whole As I live my life so freely, I often go astray. But to see a light so hazy, The warmth guides my way. This warm light that fills me, And calms my soul. Is this light I see? Or the rest of my whole? I sit here in my emptiness, Longing for more, But find that your loveliness, Fills the rest of my whole.

  • part 4- as we finish that night you would know that i,m completely safe with you i would then give you a piggy back ride to the car and take you home before the sunrise unless you want to see it.

    well this is the end for now i hope i win your heart this either way is fine with me. ps i,m also an artist in the making but i like to call my self man of vision i can see things in my head as near clear as possible i can't think of anything nasty or it will become very vid vid and hunt me for weeks.

  • I was will ask you to walk on the beach with me at night around 1am just because is so quiet and the waves are very calm all while running around holding hands and then finally dancing slowly to the wave as it plays a tune i would then hug you gently and push your head towards my chest and then as you close yours eyes i will whisper words of love and I then pick you chin up as u look at me i would then kiss u so very gentle. then we sit and eat a bunch of sweet chocolate and drink cool aid.

  • i would ask you to teach me all about the things that u love

  • Te veo, más no puedo tocar

    Seré la brisa, seré el mar

    Seré un rayito de sol

    que cae en tu espaldar

  • very nice

  • You have a cute sence of humor. I enjoy your videos and marvel at your grasp of Art and life. I'll keep tuning in.

  • Val- Actually, I think many colors are more vibrant when it's raining, if the objects are relatively close. The refreshing, cleansing action on rain on foliage, and the smell of rain are amongst my favorite moments in life.

    Don't get me wrong. From one artist to another, I very much like your painting, well all of them I've seen so far. At the risk of sound patronizing, daring to do unusual/unexpected things in your paintings is what gives your art intrinsic value.

  • btw-I think you're single for the same reason I'm am. There's no reason for you to settle for someone you don't think AND feel is the right one. You're highly independent and philosophically intellectual. Most guys can't handle that. Most guys want to have the control/power in the relationship, for you to be their source of pride and subserviant to their desires. Most guys will ultimately stifle your artistic creativity. That would be a terrible waste to see your talent tainted like that.

  • thanks for the letter

  • You're oh so welcome... I have no interest in Val other than to see her succeed with her work and her life. Besides, it's not so much for her as it is meant for the pathetic guys writing lust letters to her here. If you don't like being reminded of what your are...too bad.

  • wow you must be pretty cool then

  • Comment removed

  • your great...i could listen to you all day :)...really hard to believe your single

  • my most romantic idea is kissing while standing in the rain, and at the time 8:30 but with love harmonized by painting surrounding us.I hope I win.I love u. goodbye;).

  • Hi....."winning" Your Heart.....mmmm, I guess You have to keep it YourSelf ,so You can go on sharing it with so many people as You are doiing now....;-)).

    Nice talented woman, who needs her mental,emotional and physical "space" I suppose to express/discover what's

    INSIDE....And yes, there will be some space for a resonant lover during this lifespan....;-))

    Enjoy.

  • HOW 2 HAVE GREAT V-DAY!!! 5 SIMPLE STEPS !!!

    1- go 2 a store buy 3 bags of chips + something to drink (NO ALCOHOL)

    2-watch a GOOD MOVIE or 4

    3-thank GOD that you r still alive

    4-watch my favorites on my chanel

    5-FINISH THA CHIPS "hide tha evidence"

  • You're very cute. ;)

  • Valeria, I would put that pirate patch over your eyes and that mouth cover over your mouth and kiss you behind your neck and while I'm telling you how much I love you. Then we would tumble in a canvas over many oil paints to create our our heart together. hahahaha

  • You are delightful, witty, charming and beautiful! I love your humor, and your heart is as vast as your talent! <3

  • You have beautiful boobs

  • yum

  • I am a single dad and had to work on V-day. I did take the time to bring my daughter flowers and candy! Only being 8 she loved the candy more than the flowers. I would love to hop on a plane (where ever you are Val?) and walk with you in that park (in the rain) and find a place where we can just sit down and have a simple conversation and lunch under a tree. With everyone running around us just to get out of the rain but you and I in the center watching it all. Did I tell u I and a good cook?

  • This painting has probably already been given away... but I'll post a comment anyway!! =D

  • i love you val and i love your fans also you all lovely ppl xoxoxox happy (val)entines

    day ;)

  • Val - I would blindfold her and go for a short drive, (hang on give me a chance), somewhere attractive like a nature setting or some place cool. Let the intrigue build, get her silly vitamins moving along a bit with a laugh and a story. Some nice tucker of course. A fun day to remember even if oddball.

  • We could go to the beach at night, feel the wind caress our skin and blow through our hair as we  play with the soft sand beneath our feet . Listen to the waves crashing on the shore, and watch the stars above us, and when we see a shooting star we'll make a wish to let this happiness last.

  • A flower made of twizzlers and cheese-tots.

    A meaningful playlist.

    A motorcycle.

    A sunset.

    Korean food from a place that looks condemned from the outside.

    To me, that's a romantic valentines day.

  • grinny cheese tots. NOOOOoooooo!

  • There is only one way to a girls heart and that is to be yourself. Forget Valentines day,its just a way of selling flowers in winter...! If you are truly in love,just being with each other and saying..I Love You. ( but say it in a meaningful way this time ). That is all anyone wants to hear!!! But don't wait for Valentines day, there is another 364 days also to be in Love.

  • I'm in love! honey I love your work,... and you. keep on being beautiful XXX

  • Those are so nice! I'm in love.

  • vd day crazy...

  • I'm not sure what would "win my heart" I've always been kinda anti-V-day, too sappy, but I def think it would be sweet for a girl to watch her guys fav movies, and give him a back massage, relaxing his muscles ans let HIM enjoy the day for once, instead of forcing him to spend money and watch stupid movies he hates....

  • Hi ! I sent u a video response :P

    sorry it took ages to upload...

  • I would bribe the rain pay for sunbeams to shine a way to your heart but that yet to be paved road is known only to be found if you wouldn't need the sun to warm your heart but the warmth of my heart so if todays sun is to be ours i would take you out into the world to find that road and pave it together

  • Entering, a path of red rose pedals the rooms alight in scented candles and soft music, we eat your favorite finger food on the floor on many many pillows. We see a movie; Casablanca, followed with my special tiramisu'. later pear halves in champagne, strawberries in a fondue of dark Belgian chocolate, followed by a foot massage of rose scented lotion. I profess and promise you my undying love; forever- I am yours. Let me paint you in a Mona Lisa pose. Let me earn your heart, Mia Carisima!

  • i don't want your painted heart so much as I want the heart that's in your Chest.

  • The perfect valentines date and the way to win your heart is by first reciting shakespeare's wonder-full words of love, which one must diligently memorize. also an oragami heart made by yours truly with a dozen crimson venus fly traps (potted) and a romantic candle lit beach side picnic with some vino. the night would begin with an acoustic rendition of a lovely belle and sebastian tune and a stroll under the pier. it is then back to the loft and a slow dance to "this magic moment" and a cuddle.

  • A way to win a woman's heart...a sunset cruise on the sailboat while serving black velvet ( guiness and champaign) followed by a dinner on shore of spicy clam linguine, a nice red wine, and chocolate fondue...

  • I 'd win your heart easily.

    I'd figure you would have pocket aces and the flop would reveal an Ace of Diamonds along with a 4 of Spades and a 7 of Hearts. The turn card would reveal a 10 of Hearts. So you're looking at a three of a kind as the river card goes down and reveals a 10 of Diamonds. That means you have a full house!!!

    Well, I show pocket 10s. I WIN!

    A styrofoam box filled with ice and your heart is delivered to the hospital and I have it put in. Then, I crave cookies!!!

  • ♥♥♥♥♥♥!

  • I've never had a romantic Valentine's Day :( I was hoping to have one this year but my girlfriend broke up with me... :( so I'll have to wait until next year... this year I will be lonely once again, woe is me. I had plans to bring my girlfriend flowers and have a candle lit dinner with her, but now my plans are in smoke. Instead I get to work on Valentine's Day! This sucks.

  • (part 2) I then put everything in a gift bag, brought it to the salon. I prepaid for his hair cut (plus tip) and asked the stylist to only tell him once he was done that his cut had been taken care of. I also asked that she give him the gift bag. I hope it was a great surprise for him (especially being the day before V-day). A lot of thought went into it and he deserves it! I hope to one day win (back) his heart....I am a sucker for fairy tale ending!!! :)

  • I truly love this guy. He was getting his hair cut tonight, so I decided to surprise him. He is a Superman fan and likes the idea of being strong and helping others etc. So, I was able to find a place in town that has these Superman cookies..really cute. So I bought one, then got some of his favourite treats at the health food store. Instead of a Valentine's Day card, I was lucky to find a Superman card...in it I wrote that he was my Superman...cheesy, maybe - but it comes from the heart.

  • i would treat you like a pop sicle

    first i'd slower peel off your wrapper

    then i'd grab you by your two sticks

    then i'd press you up against the counter

    and......snap you in two

  • What I would do if I wasn't working Valentines day is take my wife for a drive along the coast of victoria stopping off at a nice beach and having a picnic lunch. Then after a long walk on the beach I would then drive on to Melbourne and take her to visit the zoo followed by yum cha in the city at a nice chinese restaurant. When I take her home I would finish up with a box of chocolates and present and the rest is to your imagination.

  • Inject heroin soooo romantic !!!!!

  • Get in a car, with the person you are interested, and follow the moon.

    Follow it throught the city. And beyond.

    You will know when and where to stop.

    Simple but special things.

    My suggestion

  • I know it sounds cheesy but IMHO it's just enough to be together. <3 It doesn't matter what you do.

    Oh, and I vote for cuddles. o/

  • i love you so very much girl!!!!!!!

  • Rent a real ship and get a surgeon to give you and your date matching peg legs. Nothing more romantic than the swagger of a pirate on the deck of a ship.

  • the objective divide the cake into equal parts !

    l'obbiettivo e' spartire la torta in parti uguali !

    1+1 = 3

  • Women aren't interested in me. Would you date a bi guy who wears Pantyhose! Bitches!

  • Your painting is excellent. Your use of color and texture is simply compelling and rich. Your photographic work is also great. The macro shots and scans of the painting are not only a great way to slowly reveal the painting, but the technique draws you into the work before seeing the entire piece, and it also shows wonderful detail of your technique. Even the lighting and setting for your video is a great composition and shoot. I am a new subscriber and have only seen a couple of your ...

  • (con't) ... videos thus far, but I've enjoyed them very much. Your talent is very obvious in all that you do. The video production is even done very well. All in all, I am very glad I discovered your channel and look forward to more of your work and seeing current posts. Excellent work, lady.

  • I really like the heart painting. Purty cool.

  • Saturday may be Valentines Day, but Sunday is Valentina Day, guess which one I'm looking forward to more :)

  • If you were my gf, everyday would be like Vday! Campfires by a babbling brook. Adam&Eve picnics in the forest sharing with our animal friends. Moonbathing on opal sands, watching a thunder storm spill across a purple champagne horizon. Imagine: lightning marbled clouds over emerald seaweed & foams of pearl. Cafe art shows with my acoustic guitar. Sundae Sundays:cuddled in a bean bag listening to our heartbeats. With the healing arts of love and romance, I'll mend your bleeding heart! I <3 Val!

  • You snooze I lose.

    When my girlfriend fell asleep I rearranged the furniture and taped wires and hoses to her and put a towel around her head, then woke her. She asked, what's going on? I showed her a 2010 Newsday (Photoshop) and told her she's been in a comma for a year, I said I needed to move on then showed her baby pictures and told her they were my kids. Thanks sooo much for the extra time idea. If I win the painting I can put on the empty chair on Happy Valentines Day 2 me.)

  • And ID always play the guitar for her. That never fails.

  • i'd like to take my date for a blindfolded walk.. walk close hand in hand on a beach with the wind blowing in the air and the waves touching her barefeet..i will ensure tht she feels safe with me no matter how vulnerable she is..den id like to feed her lunch v v sensuously.... then end it of with a close dance... all blindfolded..n loads of kisses

    at last when i open her blindfold.. i'd like to give her a heart shaped pillow with my and her pic embedded and customised coffee mugs, key chain etc

  • BUY 6 white roses, 5 red roses, and one FAKE red rose.

    write a message. Say the white symbolizes loyalty, the red, your love for her.

    SAY THAT THIS LOYALTY AND LOVE WILL LAST TILL THE LAST ROSE FADES!

    this will be cute and test her green thumb :).

  • Awe! That clock idea is so cute! What a shame though, I don't have someone to try that one with this year. :(

  • omg she is so cute!!

  • The best flowers to give a women are not red roses as most people think. It's orchids like the one that val has. The represent (pardon my spelling, I'm horrible at it) sophestication, femininity, their unique and are not common. They will cost a pretty penny, more then roses but they last longer and mean so much more.

  • Hmm I guess I'll win your heart this way.

  • Hmmm. After that walk in the rain I would sit you down in front of a crackling fire, serve you some wine, cook you dinner, , recite some poetry (Neruda?), rub your feet, and wait for the right moment to lean in and slowly kiss you. Yum!

    Happy Vals Val

  • hmm... already have done a scavenger hunt and pretty much everything that can be done with a roses/rose petals, (even made a contraption that threw petals into the air when she walked into the room).

    this year plan on doing something also pretty cheesy, from my apartment room window (the 7th floor) you can see down onto the roof of some outdoor shops/stripmall probably grab a tarp, spray paint ' I <3 you' on it and then put it on the roof of the stores so she can see it when she comes over.

  • Is Karina Smirnoff Your Sister?

  • I'm going to be making a giant heart shaped cookie for my boyfriend, with candle's around it, and little bite size heart cookies, and then a nice relaxing bubble bath. :-) that's my valentines day plans for him. :-D

  • Well, im single but wen i do have a guy in my lyf id lyk him to be romantic... idk, but i always imagine me stumbling over him in sum park and its lyk luv at first siight, but at first were just friends and then he asks me to go out w/ him on the spot were we first met, nd so on... ok, yah im corny, but w/e

  • Go to a very large, very isolated, very still lake with nothing and no-one in sight for miles and miles. Walk slowly into the warm water and remove our clothes after getting in up to the neck. Swim around in circles touching occasionally.

    Find a large rock to stand on, neck deep, taking turns holding and floating each other .

    Finally leave the water, wrap a large fluffy blanket around us and feel the water slowly dripping off. Light a fire and watch the sun go down and stars come out.

  • Val looks too big cookie to me :)

    dee dee

    deep down in my heart beats dynamo machine

    bum bum bum i wanna hug bums by my heart

    and buns are cute too, unless they

    'jump on it' ;)

    Happy Valentine's to everyone

    and watch out early spring this year, yeh!

  • i know :) I guess love is in the air. I will announce the winner of the d'art lottery next Sunday :)

  • Val - the lovers in the rain painting is so lovely - thanks for explaining the story behind it. Well, reading all the comments - it is so nice to know that romance is still alive and well! Have a great Valentine's Day!!!

  • I would bring you roses and take you out to a romantic spot near the water where we can sit in the moon light and watch the stars and walk around holding hands and i i would look into your beautiful eyes and kiss you to express my love.

  • When I proposed to my now wife in 2002 it was on valentine's day. even though it was winter (we lived on the east coast then) i took her to our favorite park near the beach and I carved our names on a tree and then I took her to more of our special spots and then I took her to a romantic italian eatery in the city and proposed to her before dessert. Every year on valentine's day since then when we lived on the east coast we went to visit our tree :)

  • I love you Valentina, thank you for everything.

    ssmmiillee ;)

  • I'm single now but, for me, I like doing really simple things: Watching old movies, a simple but tasty meal where no one has to work too hard. I think sweet and simple things are nice because there's no huge expectations that this will be a moment that will go in our lives scrapbook.(too much pressure.)

    So maybe stay in our pajamas, have some hot chocolate, watch Monk, and eat cookies. ; )

  • I want to win the painting!!

  • This year I've made plans to drive us to her home city where there's a sweet spot on this hill that has a gorgeous panoramic view of the city, harbour and sky tower, once there we'll have a candlelit and/or moonlit picnic followed by slow dancing to a mixed CD I made (I'm going to bring a portable CD player), but play the last track acoustically because I've written it for her. Afterwards we'll stay up on the hill, cuddle, watch the stars and watch the sunrise. <3 <3 <3 :D

  • nice man

  • very creative i looooove that!!!!!!

  • the correct order is the 3rd post, the 1st post then the 2nd

  • PART ONE. Our eyes meet from across the room at the party, and all else fades into the background. We were perhaps together in a past life, we've met again in this one and it's like we were never apart. We don't have to say one word or we can talk for hours or days. We touch even though we don't have to because we are one and together again. It's an indescribable irresistible electricity, an overpowering all-encompassing animal magnetism. They will never ever tear us apart.

  • We soar through space and time aboard our invulnerable ship, safe from all the naysayers. Gazing out the front view-screens at the planets and stars streaming by. Weightless in mind and body, floating above all the tribulations. Being immortal we will pass through them at one time or another, but for the now we are immersed and content in all the pleasure eons of evolution and technology brings.

  • If we part we will surely meet again, for the third time, far in the future. I will be a rocket scientist and builder of spaceships, and you will be a female Van Gogh, when an ear will easily be genetically re-generated. We will leave earth on a light-ship named the "Neutral Grail Angel", to explore for other worlds. We will find a lush planet and settle there homesteading and raising a family. The technology of the age will allow immortality and we will be together into infinity.

  • I would take the person out for dinner, somewhere nice possibly but i would aim for someplace with some type of significance. Like the place of our first date or a place we had a really go time at once.I think going to a lake or the ocean at sunset is where i would take them, or at least liked to be taken. like your painting, when you have to people who are really in love, all they see is colors. sunset on the beach in front of some water would be beautiful. Just stay there all night. perfect

  • Arrr, Matey! this be a pirate comment! ;-)

  • i was christined under the name of St. Valentine... :)

  • This year I'll be spending a 3 day getaway with my newlywed. A funky placed called the "Robin Hood" with little WPA era cottages, a very nice gourmet restaurant, pub, and cold water beach. They have a special valentines day dinner, with handmade poems/pictures contributed by third graders. We still have an old one posted on our fridge "I love you the yellowest...".

  • Give ur gf a Circular saw!?

    They like that kinda stuff, and a stanly knife just in case.

  • This year im spending Valentines day in a not so romantic place! Im going to be watching the rugby!

    But If i was to have a beautiful marshmallow valentines day it would have to be some where peaceful and quiet a bit like the painting where you can get lost in each others eyes or words! Somewhere surrounded by beauty so maybe a picnic in a park or a forest! There is nothing better then a cliché valentines day i think thats what so special about it.

    Anyways love the paintings as always

  • Super 14? Yeyah! Who do you support?

  • no sorry not super 14 northern hemisphere - england - im a Gloucester fan!

  • Val

    bid on the painting of the heart.??? well $5. to start.. tell me more I am here now.. having an other look... at school learning about color correction.. and editing off line and directing for film/video..and using the computers too.. robin

  • I'm I sour-creamy head. >:-[

    But that walk in the park is an amazing painting.

  • Do you like construction paper hearts? Do you?

  • nice work

  • Lovely as always! I would be honoured to win your heart!

    Can't wait for your next video! <3<3<3

  • Have a happy Valentine's Day, Val!

  • I'm single this year. My Valentine's day is going to consist of my Les Paul, my cranked Vox amp, a six pack, and a shitload of Metallica riffs :D

  • dosent sound too bad to me... lol the next best thing

  • well, i think guys never really know. if a guy was all romantic with me, id really like it, but he needs to act more of himself. its really sweet, like you said, like a walk in the park. in the fall. its sweet and i know that people cannot pay attention to anyone else. the cutest thing a guys done for me, or a friend, is he bought her flowers when she was in bed and she didnt know he was coming over, than he told her to get dressed and he took her out to dinner!

  • You're such a sweetie, Val. I always love watching your videos. Very cool painting. I hope you have a lovely Valentine's Day with someone who really appreciates how special you are. :)

  • hey i love ur art u've got me painting again too..

  • you gata be the hottest hing iv ever seen

  • those are beautiful flowers Val. =D I'm just wondering what kind they were. I liked them a lot. Thanks ahead of time.

    ~Liz

  • Oh, and as much as I'd like to win your heart, Val? I'm not romantic enough. I once bought a Mapsco for a girlfriend, because I noticed her job and her errands were causing her to drive around a lot to places that were new to her and she'd often have to get directions. I figured it a practical thoughtful gift that showed I cared. She found it about as romantic as a bus splashing water on her. So as pretty as the heart painting is, I'm just not romantic enough to be in the running for it.

  • 1. messing with the clocks is not romantic. it's annoying.

    2. i don't care so much whether she can cook or not. I'm annoyed when she's a complicated order maker at restaurants.

    3. patch on the eye is good. careful with the hook for a hand tho when groping. dangerous. 4. flowers belong in the ground. potted plant's a nice idea, but wilting flowers in a vase? I never get how that's romantic.

  • Well just the other day my friend was sick. We were supposed to go out together but she had to cancel. I bought her a bouquet of daisies and placed it in the mailbox. I called her and told her to go check her mail. She said they were the prettiest flowers she has ever gotten. I didn't want to be cliche and just give them to her and i didn't want to be cliche and buy roses. We love Daisies because we love the show Pushing Daisies. So it meant a lot to her.

  • I'd stick it in your ass.

  • I'm not sure if someone wrote this, but...

    I think the CUTEST thing that a guy could do to win a girl's heart would be...

    to write little words of encouragements (like "You are beautiful") on a small slip of paper and fold it into some cute origami shape..

    and do about 365 (One for each day!)

    and put it in a jar! :D

    or if thats too much, do like 100 or a special # that has meaning for both of you guys =D

  • Ok Ok, I'll comment lol.

    One Valentines day I had to work and my boyfriend at the time surprised me on my lunch break with homemade cookies, big sunflowers (my fav), and lunch that he made for me. It was the cutest thing. After work, changing, and all that jazz... he took me to dinner and we had a nice walk on the beach.

    ahhh good times :D

  • We have a lot of international supermarkets around here - I like finding food that I've never tried before...

    We also have a lot of snow around here... and I've always wanted to try building an igloo to see if it really can get warm inside. (I'm told that it will, but I don't believe it)

    Maybe it would be fun to have an exotic dinner while shivering in a cold, wet igloo.

  • Last valentines day, my boyfriend and I had been going through a rough patch. We had just recently been getting over it, and so for valentines day he gave my sister a sealed letter and a hand made heart shaped pillow, and had her put them on my bed so I found them when I woke up in the morning. It was both the first and only love letter he has ever given me, because he has trouble expressing his feelings, and the first thing he ever sewed. I will treasure it always as the best gift I could get.

  • Oh that's sweet of him.

  • Hey Val. My son's father was very romantic. He was very sick and passed away seven years ago when our son was only 15 months. Three years later I was going through some things and found a Valentines card he bought for me before he died. It was even signed. This Xmas, I was cleaning out an old box and a poem he wrote me that I never read fell out. This week, I found an unfinished note from him telling me to move on and to be happy. I have moved on recently with my childhood sweetheart.

  • Ok my date would start in the night and we would go out onto a balcony and watch the stars the whole night and then wake up to see the sunrise. but while my girlfriend is asleep i would go down to the street below and with giant red letters cut from card board i would spell out, I LOVE YOU! BE MY VALENTINE!

    oh and side comment i just love your most recent painting and also would love to win your heart.

  • I've always thought it'd be cool to win one of your paintings, you're a good painter.

  • okay . . . my romantic valentine's day ideas are coming from my 16 year old daughter's first boyfriend. They had their first date last night and he took her out to dinner. Afterward, he asked if she would like to take a night time stroll through the park and walk under the stars OR take a ride to the river to talk and watch the moon as it reached across the water! Isn't young love grand???!!!

  • Your painting lighten the way I see the world. I keep the faith in myself and someday I will see the same picture that I see through your "Love in a Rainy Day" painting. Loving it!

  • Comment removed

  • hehe i don't even know you but i like you already!! =D

  • Very good, carry on love.

  • i want your heart...

  • let...me...have...you...

    hm hm hmm

  • i would sit out side and talk to my bf on the phone and look at the stars while he sat on his roof (far far away) and look at the stars and we would tell eachother how much we miss eachother and couldn't wait to see eachother, but that wasn't on valentines day..now i call it valum-time's day because i need to numb the pain because i never have anyone on valentines day and my bf was sent away :(.

    beautiful painting, val!!!!!!

  • In the kingdom of the blind - or near-blind - even a one-eyed pirate girl is king. You are my VALentine to life. "Alice From Wonderland"...yes!

  • The rainy painting is very Claude Monet.

  • we are doing hearts like that in our art class

    this week for valentines day :)

  • i watched this the day it came out and i still can't think of anything! lol :(

  • lol...

  • Real love is hard to find. Someone who'll really be with you "until death do we part." But for most of the world, "until paperwork do we part." Regardless, Valentines Day is one of those days where I stop and think. I don't want to become one of those people. I know that special someone is out there. I just have to find him. It reminds me of a song.

    "All this time I've loved you

    and never known your face.

    All this time I've missed you

    and searched this human race."

    I'll find him someday.

  • I would take her to watch that one movie Benjamin Button. And then I would simply read to her all 20 poems of Neruda, in Spanish, and in the softest voice I can... whispering in her ear. Of course, for this three things are needed. One, for the girl to love that movie. Second, for the girl to understand Spanish. Third, for you to have a smooth voice like mine lol.

  • 4th you have to be a homosexual

  • Hmmm... Go flying just before sunset, just the two of us, so we can watch it set together. (If you haven't seen the sunset from the air before... it's amazing, there is nothing else quite like it. Seeing it from the ground doesn't compare. Try it someday Val, I think you'll find the colours to be very impressive. Maybe even worthy of a painting... ;))

  • i would drive my girlfriend (if i had one (maybe i will on valentines day)^^) up a hill near my house. up there is a lookoutpoint where we would watch the sunset... and i would play Nothing Else Matters on my guitar.. and who knows what happens then.. :D

  • Val ,Valentines day is so hard for me my son that died of cancer 4 years ago his birthday was Valentines day. That heart would remind me to smile and think of good things and how much your videos make me smile, thanks.

  • i absolutely LOVE this painting, Val :) it's gorgeous

  • I live in Dublin, and my ex lived in London. On Valentines, she was coming from Paris trip with her sister. So I came to London train station to pick her up. She was very surprised, and very happy. We had lunch with her dad and sister, and went to sleep over my friends house. In the morning we broke my friends couch, but we had very nice time together..

  • my husband once took me to the zoo on valentines day but its not what you think in the aquarium here in Omaha you can walk through an area where the aquarium surrounds you and the zoo set up tables for valentines day in this area for dinner.

  • Romantic:

    What if I told you I absolutely love this painting? The use of the colors in the reflection beneath the lovers' feet--that is breathtaking.

  • My wife and I have 2 kids...life is non-stop...crazy even...what I do on Valentines Day is I stop her, look into her eyes, and I mean LOOK into her eyes, and try to tell her how much she means to me, and how much I'M IN LOVE WITH HER...and I am in love with her after 20 years...even more now! Flowers and a dinner out for the 2 of us goes with the exclamation, of course.

  • Feeling very inspired to make a beautiful painting for my love now, thanks V!

  • <3 <3 <3

  • can I win your heart???

  • Your a women you would know more about romance compared to most guys. :-)

  • Shooo cuuuute! ;D

  • I don't know what to do for my boyfriend this year, but I wanted to tell you the most romantic thing ever...I lived in china about 5 years ago and my boyfriend at the time and I lived together with our little dog...I used to teach so my boyfriend would go to uni and look after the dog. one day he rushed to pick me up and told me we had to run home he forgot to feed the dog all day! i was a bit annoyed but when we got home he had lit everywhere candles and didnt want the house to burn down haha!

  • nice story:)

  • I am still a high school student, so it's kind of hard to do romantic thing. However, i would not have revealed myself to this person, until after all of this. what i would do, is lead her on a scavenger hunt type of thing. I would secretly leave a rose in all of my special someone's classes before any one is in school, along with bits of poetic clues. And at the end of the day all of the clues would lead her to the location where i would be awaiting her response, and her love :)

  • Well, i have a couple of idea to do for my significant other for valentines day. The one that i was planning on doing this Valentines day was to take her out to an Italian restaurant. (there is a very good one near where i live) then i was going to rent out a movie theatre and have her favorite movie on the big screen. After that i was going to bring her to the beach to lay under the stars. :D. well i hope you like it that is just one of my ideas for valentines day :).

  • Meow.
