My submission for Illustration Friday's "Opposites" is from my 2003 HomeMade calendar and the title is Phone Home. I first painted this for a greeting card that Marisol chose for the Hidden Treasures everyday line and the gift is "Call anytime you need to talk". So I redid it 12"x12" to be used in the calendar for the month of May. The quote I used is "It isn't a home without a phone" ~proverb~
I have to miss IF on Friday next week, it will be the first Friday I have missed in 9 months but I will post for the topic on Sunday... Have a wonderful weekend!!!

If we look into the windows would that make it a 'video' phone call ? Delightful as usual, your imagination is boundless !

I like the little musical score floating in the sky.
Lovely, beautiful full of warmth and sweetness!!
So warm entry. what would we do without comunication. You have an input por all ocations.

How Beautiful! You always have a way of not only making a beautiful piece of art, but touching one's heart at the same time.
so thats wht old telephones looked like good thing we went cellar those things would never fit in my pocket. lovely illos as usual lov ur colors
This is really lovely (and I continue to be amazed at your range of home-related paintings...wow!) as it shows the importance of staying connected with others. I hope whatever you're doing next Friday is fun...vacation, perhaps?
They say opposites attract... must be because they're at the other end of the line!
val, another fine piece. i love the "music" from the communication lines. this "world" has a softness to it that is uplifting.
your creativity with houses is so clever. i love the anticipation of what you will do next.
hmmm, hot chocolate in paris. hmmmm

very original, as usual. I like the way you render those old style telephones...and such a bright colours, as usual!
Ha, what a friendly illo! What WOULD we do without phones?
I love the illustration but would love to have a home with NO phone ;) enjoy your weekend!
Sweet and lovely image! I particularly like the telephone poles with the musical notes running along the wires. They remind me of Paul Klee's musical, twittering birds.
Alwasy such a pleasure to see your illustrations. I can't believe you have a house for everything!
charming as always! I love your little phone-houses
So clever and so sweet! I love how you always have the most perfect illustrations for every topic. Such juicy colors too!!
Oh that's so sweet! I sure love those shapes of telephones back then! (which wasn't all that long ago). Soon we will have a buncha people on this planet who won't even recognize the shape! (how saad).
But your paintings are never sad. Love the phone homes. And the birds on the wire and the musical notes. Very swet and happy picture!
Oooo la la! I love those shades of sherbert!!!!!
Pink & orange, yummy. ; )
Smooch,
The Tart

Phone houses - how cool! Beautifully done!
What an awesome illo!! I love all of your work (I think I say this often..but, I do!). I'll miss you this week...but, will look forward to seeing you next week!
