My submission for Illustration Friday's "Quiet" is from my 2002 HomeMade calendar and the title is "Homeward Bound". Some of you might recognize the pooch to be my Rat boy. I am in Seattle today and I am celebrating my Mom's 69th birthday with my sis and my Mom's sis and we are having a party! 69 is mighty fine! This is why my post is incomplete as I don't have access to my stuff but I got my picture off the internet and will fix when I get home. My addiction to IF is pretty obvious and if I don't post on IF I might explode! Have a great weekend!!!
Back from Seattle today and I had a wonderful time with my family! Updated the picture, this is a bit bigger and want to add the usual info: This painting was for the month of August and the quote is "Life''s a voyage that's homeward bound" ~proverb
Valgal! Glad to see you won't explode! It would make mom's bday party very messy. Keep thinking about that skier....

From what I can tell, this is a delightful illustration...why so pixellated? Reminds me of the "Little Boxes" opening sequence on the show "Weeds."
ReplyDeleteWe don't won't you to explode! Hope you are having loads of fun! Happy Birthday Wishes to your Mom!
ReplyDeleteLove the perspective ... and if I wave hard enough will you be able to see me from there? :)
ReplyDeletePlease don't explode ! You might wake up some people in that 'quiet' neighborhood !

Hi ValGal! Please, keep posting, regardless of the size. Having been off IF for a month (or two) It's great to see a familiar face! Hope you guys had a blast at the party! Your work is colourful and engaging, as always.
ReplyDeleteHi Val hope you had a good time.
ReplyDeleteThis is a great illo of Rat. It does have a quiet feeling looking down into the town. Kind of make you homesick to go home for a visit. ;-)
ohh nice.. happy birthday to your mom (well, belated that is)
ReplyDeletethe proverb says it all! and your illo is mighty stunning as always!
HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOUR MOTHER!!
ReplyDeleteThat gog is soooo cute, and angle is great - shows of the mighty-fine view! Hope you had/ are having a good time in Seattle :D
Sitting on the outside of all of humanity would be quiet, your dog is super cute!
ReplyDeleteOh so cute and delightful!! I love seeing your art.
ReplyDeletehope your mom's birthday was fun! I'd love to see Seattle some day...cool illustration as always...looks like a great watch dog keeping stuff quiet :)
ReplyDeleteI'm excited you got the journal too!! Can't wait to see what you add!!
oh the sky.
ReplyDeletevalerie thank you for the sweet comment on the blog...I truly admire your work so anytime you wanna critique go ahead...Thank you again for the lovely thoughts...
ReplyDeleteThis is no nice! It does feel quiet.
ReplyDeleteI love the moon and the shadows.
(Happy BDay to your mom!)
it's so peaceful! like your chosen colors..
ReplyDeleteWhat a wonderful and quiet view for the pup. Perfect for a late night howl at the moon.
ReplyDeletewonderful! Best Wishes :o)
ReplyDeleteWhat a wonderful scene! I just wanted to see it better!
ReplyDeleteGreat illustration... wonderful view of the quiet neighborhood. Love the dog... and that's the only exception to make... dogs do not a quiet neighborhood make. When one goes off, they all go off... and ours is deaf, and he can't hear himself howl.
ReplyDeleteWOW! This is awesome!
ReplyDeleteThis is so pretty! I love the perspective.
ReplyDeleteI really can't decide which I like better. This one or the newer post. They both have such unique qualities that I admire. Thanks so much for you wonderful comments on my painting. Sometimes, I spread myself so thin and try to do so many things that I can no longer pick a direction. Staying at an advertising agency is just safe. It's no longer a challenge, so I am trying to figure out if I should get a rep and move on to a new life.
