Every year I resolve to paint more houses, homes and buildings. My submission for Illustration Friday's "resolve" theme is a custom invite to a house party. Happy New Year to everyone.
Your houses are the very, very best. I really love how inviting they are! If someone sent me an invite like this I would be there in a heartbeat! This is simply fabulous!
You are one person that I am sure will keep this resolution. More houses please!! This one is so welcoming, the perfect invitation. Your generous heart shows through all that you create. Happy New Year.
Oh my gosh, now THAT's a keeper! How I would LOVE to have a custom invitation made from my house. Holy mackerel, even she outline of the shingles is cut out! Really cute invite.
This is certainly a cheery home... and you create your houses so well! Glad to hear your resolve is to continue. Thanks for sharing. PS LOVE the soundtrack. =)
I am still here. This is a very different kind of illustration though and I love it as much as the flying one. Thank you very much for sharing it. Happy new year
