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.

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!

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.
