I have added some new locations for my 2026 Valentine’s Cards. I normally focus on locations within Cornwall, however this year I am including Greek Islands and The Caribbean! My Valentine’s Cards always sell out on Etsy and I am hoping these new locations will prove to be just as popular. I should stress I am still including Cornwall 2026 Valentine’s Cards.
Of course they don’t have to be Valentine’s Cards, they could be for any occasion where you might want a heart shaped card. My paintings sit inside a heart aperture of a 6 x 6 inch blank greeting card.
Greek Islands Valentine’s Card
I have only visited Greece once, and that was to Crete. As it turns out it was quite a cloudy week but on the last day of our holiday the sun shone and the beach was packed. We later researched visiting Corfu. Corfu, similar to Cornwall, has different kinds of beaches. Some are tiny inlets with pine covered mountains surrounding them, others are more open with long stretches of sand. That the inspiration for my painting, which is now available as card.
Venice Valentine’s Card
I visited Venice on a day trip from Garda back in 2012. It was an extremely hot day and sadly I couldn’t find anywhere to sit and sketch. I remedied that on my return and I painted this scene. I have painted a larger version of this scene, which has sold. However I do have a smaller version available, which I am including in my 2026 Valentine’s Card selection.
The Caribbean Valentine’s Cards
I definitely haven’t visited the Caribbean but this actually a larger painting of the Caribbean that I have cut in order to make two cards. One of the cards shows a boat alongside a deserted beach, with just beautiful white sand and palm trees. The other card features the island, together with the mainland in the distance. I must admit I would love to visit this island and I can imagine enjoying a lovely swim in that turquoise water.
I wrote a previous blog about this painting, that you might want to read.
Cornwall Valentine’s Cards
As always Cornwall is popular. This year I have included Godrevy Lighthouse; Looking towards Gwithian from Godrevy beach and Kynance Cove.
All of these cards are original paintings and therefore are “one-offs”, so if one catches your eye I would recommend not delaying. Have a look on my Etsy shop to see what is currently available.
Also if you would like an actual sentiment included, then please get in contact and I will see if I can accommodate your request.
