Childhood is fleeting. My submission for Illustration Friday's "Fleeting" theme is a dimensional painting for Rady Children's Hospital auction on April 21st. The title of this painting is "Happy Home". I loved making it and hope it goes to a happy home and benefits a child who needs care.
Happy Easter or Passover or both :)

really a happy home! the cool thing is that it is dimensional and the colors really great.
what a beautiful gift you are giving this Easter-for sure it would benefit a child who needs care-
Happy Easter Valerie!
this is so cute, its like seeing one of your lovely paintings coming to life! All the details are wonderful, the roof tiles, the sweet teddy and the warm homey glow coming from the window and door.
now this is very interesting! wow how cool!
Val you never cease to amaze me!!!!! Great work!
It is truly a gorgeous piece. Very touching and sort of wistful as well.
And your illustration for Talisman is wonderful. I have a key like that somewhere, without the darling houses. Yours just shows how multitalented you are and what a great imagination you turn loose in any project you approach.
What a lovely piece!
This is a beautiful piece Val and I agree with your idea. A happy childhood is fleeting although a terrible one seems like eternity. I pray that every child will have a happy one. I love your music. I ow you an email. Gotta catch up with you :)
I'm sure it will do great at the auction! It is really beautiful!
Wow! This is so cool! Fantastic work. Happy Easter! Val
Seem like it's a magical home! Nice job done, Valerie....And Happy Easter too!:)

Happy Easter, Val.
Happy EAster Beagle Day, Val. You know I love your little houses.
I love your "breaking the boundries" art!
...and what a good cause
Happy Easter Val!
What a wonderful project! Colors are fantastic as always :).
It's great that this will help children. It's sad how many don't get any real childhood at all. Bless you for thinking of them.
My favorite part is the little cat up in the window. He's soooo cute.
What a beautiful design, gorgeous colours too! Wonderful work as always :)
This is great, Valerie! What a great thing for you to create and donate, too! :)
it certainly is, but your art lives on.hugs.

Your art makes me want to dance!!! PURE JOY! :)
oh val, you are a walking angel, you know. i love the cat in the window, and i think any kid will like that best too.
i just love your three dimensional pieces. and now that i've seen so many of your originals, and shared smiles and hearts in the same room with you, it's special-special.

What a wonderful piece and for such a good cause - good luck!
Beautiful piece- I know this will brighten someone's walls and a child's life. Just wonderful.
Lovely technique - Val goes 3D!!!

Oh, this is extremely nice!
Very well done!
Gorgeous piece! This will definitely brighten a life somewhere.
Your work is so lovely, great piece!! And you make a good action!
Makes the child in me want to walk through that door.
It's the warmth from the golden glow, and could anything be wrong with the world in this sweet little house.
You're right, I look like I'm in a boxing ring, and I didn't see that until I read your comment.
Wow! That is really fantastic, and I love the little child peeking out from the warmth indoors. Amazing! And I sooooooo love your skeleton key below, too. Wonderful concept and so well done. Your houses are to die for!
Oh Val, that is exquisite - and so tactile. I just want to pick that sweet little house up and explore it with eyes and fingers. What a wonderful gift for the children.
This is fabulous! You are right, childhood is fleeting, it just doesn't see that way, while you're a child...:)
Beautiful work and cause!
We kind of picked the same theme ;)
I love this loving house.
A house with no owees, no troubles, no fear.
