My submision for Illustration Friday's "seed" is one of my Marisol greeting cards and the interior is a gift certificate that promises love and friendship.
So thrilled to visit your blog/gallery again. This painting has a very inviting and warm quality that puts ones head in a nice place. beautiful composition, there are aso many birds, yet its not crowded. Cheers!
beautiful Val. You know, I had a vision once. That was heaven's gate looked like-- a trellis and everything leading you to this beautiful field of flowers. Actually, I think it was the place you go in between dying and heaven. But still...
So I have a buddy in the Seattle area who is an outstanding and brilliant sculptress...she made cement garden sculptures and well as did some metal welding that was just remarkable. Such a huge talent. I had several of her pieces, but my favorite one was brought to mind when I saw your birdbath...
Here is a link to the one I have...it is the one on top with the little hippos...just so sweet. It's wonderful to make connections with such talented and creative minds...like her...and YOU!
Your cards are very creative...the colors, the designs, and the certificates that coorespond with the cards! How clever!! Thanks for visiting my blog. I would be missing out on yours, if you hadn't.
