My submission for Illustration Friday's "sprout" is from my 2002 HomeMade calendar and the title is "House Plants". This is for the month of May and the quote is: Home is the blossom of which heaven is the fruit ~proverb~
I have always enjoyed the quote: Grow where you are planted.

Very inventive stuff! It is amazing how plants are these perfect structures that convert sunlight into energy. But yours are even cooler.
Thank you for tagging me but there is no way I can possibly compete with your excellent 6 things.
this is an amazing piece! the concept is great and the colors so beautiful! wonderful work!
...I guess the housing market is booming... (drum fill.)
beautiful work val!!!
I like the imperfect symmetry of this illo! it's very visionary indeed and the colours add to...
:)
Val - you are so creative and imaginative and talented! My goodness...you just keep topping yourself with wonderful paintings. I love the gentleness of this, and i love how you've made the house-flowers resemble hollyhocks (that's what they look like to me). Soooo pretty!
Perfect! I love this Val - so, so sweet. Your work is such a visual treat. (and also i think i just made a poem about you & your work!) ~wink~

It would be nice if homes grew on trees or vines, wouldn't it be nice if everyone had a home to call their own?

val, this is a very beautiful piece of artwork. i like your artwork even more so after i read about you.
i will never again see any kind of house without thinking of you!
love this. tweet tweet followed by clap clap.
This is so whimsical! I really like that the stems can play as either stems or streets, the driveways being smaller stems. This is one of my all time favourites.
Hi Valerie,
Beautiful drawing and a great quote for accompaniment.
Ciao,
Robert

this is absolutely amazing...AND totally complicated for an airbrush artist! Wow...most impressive...a TON of work, and I'm really impressed how you made this image flow with all the little fragile details...
I can't even imagine how many tiny pieces and slivers of friskit you were dealing with here...
Very very nice work, val.
