My submission for Illustration Friday's "Captain" is from my HomeMade Calendar and the title is "Houseboat". Babs (the kitty) is the captain of the houseboat. This was for the month of July of course and the quote is: "Nothing makes a house cozier than cats" Gladys Taber
i want to GO on the HOUSEBOAT! this is great, val...as per your usual, lit like it lives in breathes. :))
ReplyDeleteLeave it to Val to make a little house you want to move into right now! :)))
ReplyDeleteWow! Totally cool. I bet the pee just runs off the porch and into the water, no stain, no stink. Pax et Amo.Bad Dog
ReplyDeleteBoy, are they ever the captains of anything. Cats rule the house including the houseboat. I love this piece because of the fireworks in the background. I saw a show on television about houseboats and I was in awe at the price of some of those houseboats!!!
ReplyDeleteYour blog is so cool. It is nice to scroll down and see all the beautiful artwork one after another.
ReplyDeleteIndeed! Gosh I miss my cat Fito :'(
