When I saw the topic the first thought that came to mind was "What will Val post!" Your creations are all paradise to me. It's a world divine and marvelous. And mine, is just a figment of my imagination...gotta get busy.

one day these two women knock on the porch door and say, "val, we're here.let's have lunch!"

and then these three women will smile away for a few hours, talking about everything that matters and everything that doesn't....

What a gorgeous paradise, so colourful and bright and cheerful!

You continue to amaze me with the sheer volume of work you have stashed away! I missed last week's and yours is awesome. The retro look is also so strong design-wise and the old gas station is a perfect example.

I'm not surprised that your own little place would be paradise! How perfect and lovely. I like the time of day you chose...that magic time, late afternoon sun time!

Designing Fairy said...

Hi Val! Love your paradise. Trees! So sweet. Do you use resin for the varnish on your acrylics?

tusen said...

I think the word "magical" really describes the picture.

Greg Hartman said...

The dimensional effect is so cool, love it! Great colors as usual.

Mary Stebbins Taitt said...

Ah, lovely, I'd like to walk in and have an adventure there. :-D

Wow the frame is such a gorgeous little detail with the little branch/leaves sticking into the art. I love how there are 2D and 3D elements in this. Very nice.
