My submission for Illustration Friday's "signs" is a painting I made for the Special Children's Art Foundation Auction.The family that put on the benenfit bought this for their daughter Kara. She is a child with special needs and "Real Estate" lives in her bedroom now. I added a quote on the back of the roof that sticks up above the frame and it says: Praise a great estate, but cultivate a small one ~Latin Proverb

You sure know how to handle that airbrush, Val. Now that Photoshop has entered my life, my Badger, and my Paache are gathering dust in the drawer. The only problem is...no more original art...only pencils sketches, like what you got.
