My submission for Illustration Friday's topic, Spring, is from my 2001 HomeMade calendar. The title is Green House. This is a favourite of the people that collect my work. I loved making this one. Spring is here and I am so glad! Happy Flowers everyone! The quote: To Adam, paradise was home, To the good among his descendants, home is paradise. ~ Hare

...and it's now a favourite of mine! I've always wanted a greenhouse.
My favourite sort of greenhouse! Lovely!
PS And I think your big hair suited you...
Very cool greenhouse, Val Gal, LOVE IT!!! Mary :-)
So adorable. I can't wait to see what grows out of there! Love your art Val!
Like I said before, I always wonder what type of house I will find! Lovely!
a fav of mine now too!!! Wouldn't it be great to wander in there daily just to get away.
Your greenhouse is rilly hopping with happy plants. My greenhouse desperately needs a new door and some white paint. It's looking pretty sad.
Of course mine is about a decade old, so I can't fuss too much.
P.S. Luv the shaped bushes and trees around your greenhouse.
