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 :)

ReplyDeletewhat 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.
ReplyDeletenow this is very interesting! wow how cool!
ReplyDeleteVal you never cease to amaze me!!!!! Great work!
It is truly a gorgeous piece. Very touching and sort of wistful as well.
ReplyDeleteAnd 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!
ReplyDeleteThis 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 :)

ReplyDeleteIt'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!
ReplyDeleteOh 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.
