Heart Art!
My Christmas ornaments were so much fun to make, (and fun to give .... ) that I thought I'd carry the tradition right into Valentine's Day. Available in six designs, each piece is handpainted and unique.

Fresh Flowers
“I must have flowers, always and always.” - Claude Monet
I agree with Mr. Monet. A few years back, when I started my daily painting practice, I thought “Let’s do a week of flower paintings.” Since then there have been hundreds, mostly from the gorgeous gardens, flowering trees, and farmer’s markets in Chicago. They never fail to inspire. I’ve collected a small “bouquet” of some of my recent favorites for this Valentine collection of cards. I’ve brought back a couple of old favorites for the occasion too. “Love Wins” , and “You Amaze Me.” A set of 8 of my handcrafted cards is still only $30. (plus a bit for shipping) Mix and match!
I’m offering a love day special too. Choose one of my “Heart Art” ornaments, and pair it with a card, for just $20. Your honey will thank you!
PS - Moms love these too! Love's Journey![]() Special occasion commissions have become one of my favorite parts of the job, of what I do at John Baker Arts. I love talking with clients who are excited about saying “I love you” in a special way, having something truly unique made for their loved one.
Here is a testimonial from George Fox, president of the NFW watch company who recently received a commissioned painting from his lovely wife, Patsy. ![]() "My wife commissioned Mr. Baker to create a painting that depicted the “Journey” of our life together. She originally intended it to be an Anniversary gift, but it was so stunning she just couldn’t wait 6 months to give it to me, so I received it for Christmas!
I am blown away by this work of art, each & every time I look at it. Mr. Baker interpreted our journey in such a uniquely beautiful way, sort of a graphic representation of our life milestones, laid out as a nautical map (which was another stroke of genius, since many of these milestones occurred over oceans, on beaches, etc – so the nautical map theme was spot-on!). The level of detail is amazing. The deeper I look into each element, the more detail I see… So many aspects of my life, just layered within the painting. Really quite incredible. But what really makes it so special is that it’s so personal, so customized, to telling OUR story, OUR passions, OUR lives – including each of our three children. I couldn’t think of a more loving gift to give someone. I’ve received many gifts in my life, but this painting is ranked up there in the very top of all the gifts I’ve ever received. I would highly recommend Mr. Baker’s work, his level of compassion & understanding, in telling a love story through his painting. Thank you, John Baker!
