February has always been a special month for me. When I lived in New England, winter felt long and dark. I was always drawn to bright colors, especially red. Red still feels cheerful to me, which is why I often include it in my February calendar images. Valentine’s Day is another reason I love this month. I have always enjoyed making cards for family and friends.

The new Urban Sketching group of Daytona Beach is growing. Our second outing was held on January 15 at The Casements in Ormond Beach. Nineteen people attended. It was a cool day, so many sketched indoors. I chose to work outside and drew the building. The group has a Facebook page and plans to meet again in February. There is no cost to join.
Thank you for your continued support.
Happy Valentine’s Day!
