What's Been Happening In The Art Studio?

What's been happening?

AQUA has been happening that's what!

From a random squirt of too much oil paint from the tube,

to three pieces of gorgeousness.

This series of paintings may yet become four!

But here is a peek at the three completed works.

A Perfect Valentine's RED Petunia...

 I just have to introduce ya all to 'Petunia HOT ROD RED' by 'Enrich with Nature Plants'!
What a perfect Valentine red inspired flower.

 Beautiful, bright, RED...

 A PROLIFIC FLOWERER...
that has an improved resistance to adverse weather!
That's a bonus, don't you think?

Grow in full sun. 
Keep the soil moist but not overly wet.

 'Hot Rod Red' Petunia can be grown in the garden bed,
pots, hanging planter baskets or window boxes.

And it is a stunner!

Make an entrance statement with this plant on your porch, or front door entrance.

Incorporate it into your Valentine's display.

Put it in a dramatic white tin bucket as I have done.
Or bring the plant inside for a short term (2 days maximum)
event display.

 'Hot Rod Red' Petunia is so easy to grow.

With no problems with disease or bugs,

and loads of the most stunning red flowers...

Mia Bella Passions is in LOVE!

Easy Valentines Berry Trifle...

This trifle is the easiest dessert to create in a jiffy.
If you have a busy life, then this is the perfect dessert for Valentines night...

Use: pre- made cream or jam-filled rolled sponge roll cake

Pre-made custard and a little whipped cream.
Plus fresh berries of your choice.

And a chocolate ganache.

 Simply melt dark or milk chocolate in a bowl over hot water and add a few tablespoons of whole cream to mix to a smooth sauce.
Easy Chocolate Berry Trifle can be alcohol-free,
or tipsy it up a little by adding a sprinkle of sherry,
 or chocolate or coffee flavoured liqueur to the sponge layers.

All you do is line a glass bowl with slices of sponge.

spread over custard.

Then the berries.

Add a swirl of ganache...

Top with more sponge slices, more whipped cream
and more berries. It's not the prettiest served on the plate,
 but the taste of deliciousness outweighs this by far.
The Chocolate Berry Trifle is a fav in our house,
 and even gets pre-orders as a Birthday dessert!

But I think it is a superb easy fix Valentines dessert too!
