Valériane Leblond

The language itself, whether you speak it or not, whether you love it or hate it, is like some bewitchment or seduction from the past, drifting across the country down the centuries, subtly affecting the nations sensibilities even when its meaning is forgotten.
~Jan Morris, Wales: The First Place

Little hearts shoot out of my eyes when I look at French artist Valériane Leblond's work. Her specialty is painting with oils on wood. She lives in Wales, so you'll see that the titles aren't very French. :-) Thank you, Valériane, for allowing me to share these!

    Beautiful work. I especially liked her use of the irregular shapes of the wood (like in Traethau Dyfed).

    Mwyara and Drain gwyn y gwanwyn really caught my eye, too.
