My submission for Illustration Friday's "Clean" is from my 2004 HomeMade calendar and the title is "Clean House'. This idea was conceived for Marisol's Hidden Treasures everyday greeting card line and I loved it so much I repainted it for the calendar. This card is a gift certificate for some help around the house whenever you need it. The "Clean House" painting for the calendar is for the month of April, to show spring cleaning and the quote is: " It takes a heap o' livin in a house t' make it a home" ~ Edgar A. Guest~
I am back from my amazing holiday with my family, we went to Martha's Vineyard
for 7 glorious days and a wonderful time was had by all! I will post some pictures later today.
