This illustration is my logo. I love my logo, it is another signature image that crops up in my work all the time. A house that is a gift! Also blue is my favourite colour.
I love you use a house with a bow!! i personally for me just want my home to a present to all who come here...especially want my children to feel that way.
hi Val have you got another house that is a gift. we're in the market for just that sort. :) especially if it looks as happy to see me as this one does. It seems as if I have just turned up and the house looks as happy as a dog does. nice will come back later, still trying to finish blue love scott
I love this as a logo...it says so much about many things...you, home, happiness, gifts, etc...and , at least to me, on several levels. As an illustration on its own, it's lovely and colorful. Very nice:>
Val..thanks for your comment this week. I have always loved Joni Mitchell, because her music and lyrics touch me in a very real way. The poetic and autobigraphical style of her earlier work has had such a great influence on my own writing, and I have always admired her as a visual artist. Your husband is lucky to have a book of her artwork and poetry...what a treasure. I can well imagine that she must seem larger than life in person; she's such a legend and a formidable woman. Thanks for sharing those stories! ~ carla
Val (and Carla) -- your Joni Mitchell stories made me perk up. She is one of the few living goddesses I can think of -- an amazing talent. I wish she'd write an autobiography. I'd eat it up. I so envy you meeting her, Val.
hi val, I'm back. it was exhausting for me the blue dog painting. I'm used to taking weeks or more on a painting, so trying to make one come together in a few hours to post for IF is pretty exhausting for me and I was off to bed not long after posting it. thanks for finding it so quick and leaving a lovely comment. I look foward to your input as you can imagine. I have to say two things, about your post. the first is that I was disapointed to click for a larger version to find out it was the same one. I feel like I am missing out on some details. (I do sit along way from my computer screen) and the other point is a little more delicate. whispers the idea of changing your image (avatar) in blogger for this one, sounded good, at first. but I for one vote that you change it back. the house comes through too small to see whats going on and the strait (well curved really) lines get a lot of alaising effects, or the jaggies, at that size. the other reason is that I would much rather see val, as a person, then valgalart as a concept, especially when that person is very fine to look at. I miss you already. anyway, I better not say anymore. lots of love an admirer
That is so wonderful, Valerie! All your work is great. That house has a lot of charm and what is that I am smelling? I think I can smell Mr. Bubble bubble soap in there! :O)

You should post your logo where most people post pictures of themselves on their blogs. It's a delightful image and reflects you after all.
Val I love your logo!
I agree with andrea that you should post it where your picture should go for your ID.

hope you don't mind me saying that
What a great idea for a logo. You have a great eye and imagination.
Puts a smile on my face, happy mood logo :-)
That is a very beautiful blue house!! :)

It reminds me of the season that is coming. It would be nice if everybody could have a place such as this one to live in.
it's one of those pictures where the windows follow you around the room.
beautiful work!! Cleve and beautiful design!
very nice present, thank you!
i love all drawings of houses, all your illustrations...
this is a woderful logo! I love the little blue house with ribbon.
Your image got me thinking of a language made up of house symbols...would be cool to suggest 'House' for a topic!
That is so wonderful, Valerie! All your work is great. That house has a lot of charm and what is that I am smelling? I think I can smell Mr. Bubble bubble soap in there! :O)
Great picture, I like your style. Good choice for your logo!
Always enjoy the energy and joy in your illustrations.
That's a great logo!
Very cheerful house! Love it!
BTW thank you for visiting my newbie submission to the IF and your lovely comment.
every time i see this little house, my heart is happy...
