Some folks like the bright lights, big city. nightclubs and swanky eateries. Call me backwards, but I love a small town any day. My submission for Illustration Friday's "backwards" prompt.My Scribbleguild group is sending out a winter mailer and this is the image I made for the project. Acrylic on Canson Airbrush paper.

ReplyDeleteBy the way, check out my "Puff The Magic Dragon" post on my blog if you have a moment...I woud love to hear your answers since we are not all that far apart in age. It's been a lot of fun reading everyone's contributions.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful. It reminds me of that movie 'Peeing In The Snow' or was it'Singing Down The Drain'? Happy Holidays Val Gal. You are the best. Bad Dog

ReplyDeleteSo cute and warm and well-detailed!
ReplyDeleteLooks like a place I'd love to go because I feel that way too.
What more could a person need! It's wonderful.
ReplyDeletelovely houses
ReplyDeleteI like small towns too! How did you ever come up with the movement of the buildings? It really enhances the effect of a small town full of charm and coziness.
ReplyDeletebeautiful illo ... I am a 'province' guy also - cannot feel well in non-human dimensions.
ReplyDeleteThe first toy house looks like is alive.. and it is the same with the coffee one.. wonderful piece!!
ReplyDeleteThis looks like Brown County, Indiana. And since it is snowing here today, I bet it matches even more. I swear you must have been here before...
ReplyDeleteOh I am SO with you on this Val! Consider me there :)
ReplyDeleteLove the sweet home town feeling you captured.
ReplyDeleteOh, me too. And this looks so cozy!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful and sweet buildings, Valerie! Wish to be there!
ReplyDeleteexcellent and humorous as usual...what is the average size of your works?...(I like small towns as well)
ReplyDeleteI live in a big city and the magic of your illustration is for me very poignant (sorry for online translation)
ReplyDeleteI agree here, too. I live in a small town with a quaint Main Street like this. We even have a bookstore! And a toy store! In megastore times, this is refreshing. Happy Holidays to you as well, Val! :-)
ReplyDeleteBeautiful!
ReplyDeleteLovely!
ReplyDeleteAnother very satisfying painting. I'd love to live in a world like this. xxx
ReplyDeleteAwesome work as usual Val. Long live the small town. Said the man living in a very, very small town indeed.
ReplyDeleteSmall town living is new again - that's why I live in one! Thanks for the reminder on the pleasures!
ReplyDeleteThe rain is almost making the San Fernando Valley seem cozy...almost!
ReplyDeleteWhat a warm, fuzzy place you've created. I want to be there right now.
Beautiful job!
cooozzzzzzzzyyy bedford falls for me, ANY DAY! this is super, val! the light, as always, just draw me right in...my feet and hands already feel warmer!
ReplyDeletehappiest of holidays to you and yours, val! :))
cozy indeed! and of course, your little kitty is THE coziest, peeking out from her window atop the book store. :)
