Illustration Friday: grow



My submission for Illustration Friday's "grow" is from an illustration I did this week for a beautiful lady who has her own cosmetics label. The companies name fits in the open space that is the sky and all of these flowers are used in the products and are from Australian flowers that promote well being and growth. Each flower will imbue the wearer with positive feelings, will help eliminate fear and celebrate your beauty. Art is a great job because it helps you to grow as a being, you learn so much about things you might miss out on.

  15. What a beautiful label for natural products from the garden! I see the fairy is the gatherer, snipping away with her tiny scissors. I also love the yellow background, a great choice. Very, very nice Val!

  17. Beautiful piece of work, Val, and I agree with you totally about the incidental things you find out about when you're doing artwork and researching images.

  19. Hope you are safe! Val, hearing about these Malibu fires made me think of you. Have you been affected at all???

    I do think I'll go to the opening of that gallery. It sure was nice to be chosen. Might you go?

  24. Honestly, I am not sure how to read this. It is nice and makes me want to submerge myself in a lemon meringue pie.

    I view the wonderful crafted tiles of the roof and I trace the vines until I see a window (?) or a board (?) and for me I stop there. It is enough information to just look at. Possibly the addition of conflicting object could top it off, but otherwise I think you have two separate good pieces combined together.

    Of course it could be just me feeling overall guilty for not going to the gym and eating yummy foods... thinking about pie.

    Val this is perfect in everyway. You did an excellent job of fitting everything in. I love the fairy figure in the middle. The figure really just sets the whole label off. Great Job!
