To me being an artist is all about the imagination! "House Paint" is from my 2004 "HomeMade" calendar. copyright 2003 May not be used without permission of the artist
I love your pretty house on the hill at the end of the long winding road.. The soft colors are so gentle and happy, and all the details are perfect - the birds, the smoke from the chimney, the little car, the trees. Your work is so full of delightful imagination:>
Val girl...when can I MOVE in. I love your house--all of them.
After a big night out we Tarts would love to head home to a cool place like this...I see fuzzy, snuggly blanket/throws to snooze in. Lots of hot chocolate and furry pets to warm a Cheap Tarts heart.
Thanks for the beautiful art, I can IMAGINE going here.
Val, I have settled in to your lovely retreat for a light nap!
To all bloggers please drop by anytime, Val leaves the front door unlocked for friendly blog pals, tip toe please---I am snoozing with a cute b&w Tuxedo kitty.
Tanner maybe hungry, if he meows at you...the kitty chow is on the beautiful pale gold granite counter top next to the warm pot of Hot Chocolate, BTW help yourself! Turn on the water from the faucet for Blackie..just a drip, it's OK if he drinks while sitting in the sink...Lyn says he does this all the time.
Have you noticed that the retreat smells like apple pie & cinnamon? I think Val just put a pie in the oven...<: )
I think they are still playing croquet in the backyard, Andrea & Carla are tied. Caroline is in second place and needs a partner. Toni Kelly & Isay are swinging in the hammocks watching the Donna flying a kite! Lyn is resting her feet in the cool creek--long night of dancing!
This place is truly a dream worth imagining!
Val, I have added your to my blogroll without your approval...please drop by to review. Your art work is beautiful and comforting!
Val,judging by all of the comments, you picked the right thing for imagination.......everyone has seen something else in this little house.....marzipan,a singing house, light bulb house, a house that's a tube of paint...and you really stirred up Jody's imagination.I asked my son to look and tell me what he saw, and he also said" It's a tube of paint".
wonderful! i just love your style! LOVE it! the colours are so soft, like bubblegum and the lines and colours together make such a soft feeling. like a cottonfield you want to throw yourself into. you make fantastic stuff!
