My submission for Illustration Friday's "open" is a painting of "The Mother Goose Cafe". Once upon a time this cafe was open for business.It must have been a wonderful place! I am grateful that there are people out there that have wacky ideas and make incredible buildings for me to paint.
Mother Goose Cafe: Location unknown only that it is somewhere in Florida.
So cute! I want to hear more of this story!
ReplyDeleteOh how fun Val! Such a clever and creative idea.
ReplyDeleteThis is such a unique building and of course your rendition of it just makes it even more fascinating. Oh how I wish I had a cute house you could paint.
