My submission for Illustration Friday's "homage" is one of my Marisol greeting cards for "Dinner at my place". A homage to the simple pleasures of life: Home pride and being House proud.
I was looking forward to se what you have for this prompt since your work pays homage to a lot of good things in life and on this earth. I have this card and what fun to give it to someone special. :-)
this is lovely, as always, and i have to say that the atmosphere of this card reminds me of being in key west; vibrant colors, houses with mega character, a place i am drawn to!
Wow the color palette is so dramatic and I just love those forks, cups and shakers. Beautiful piece of art! Think it might very well be my all time favorite. . .but then that is hard to say since I love all your art.
After going through a couple of blogs where the lovely creative and intelligent women are leaving or have left, I just want you to know that I am so grateful for your inspiration and you are very special to me. I wish you good health and I don't know if I can say this in blogland but I just love you. Please stay, blogging won't be fun without you and you probably think I am odd or crazy, I'll take crazy. You are among my favorite bloggers.
What a sweet idea and sweet illustration to match. Love the colors. Makes me feel all cozy. I'm ready for dinner now... at someone's place... anyone... hello?
The colors and spirit of this illustration is very lovely! Indeed the simple pleasures in life are the best!

Hello, as always a delight to see your work!
ReplyDeleteOne of my biggest yet most simple dreams in life was to have my own home. I still don't, but if I ever do I'd want it to be this one!
ReplyDeleteThose intense blues are so appealing to me right now!
ReplyDeleteI will be there around 6 and I'll bring dessert!
ReplyDeleteIt will be something done in chocolate just for this fine occasion.
This is fabulous! Anyone receiving this invitation is sure to be delighted.
