My submission for Illustration Friday's "craving" is "Soda Shoppe" an illustration that is an interior , yes, but it is a room for a building in my ValerieGallerie site that is used to house my greeting card section. This is a slightly different version that shows what Babs the cat is craving. A wonderful guy named Brian Coughlin helped me make my site and I will never forget his patience, kindness and generosity. He is a member of the band "Kinch" and a very multi-talented young man.
I was in Washington for 7 days and I hung with my pal Louie and we took many beautiful walks together.

I was just in Washington, too (two nights), and I had a Border Collie cross with me (my new dog!) but I was in northeastern WA.
This is a great illustration -- one of my fvaourites of yours! I must check out the greeting card section now (and I love this song!).
I see it's not available as a greeting card yet. When/if it is please let me know!
Wonderful. Looks like Babs could use some company, so I'll make sure to pull up a stool ASAP and share in the tasty food :).
I love it. It's so inviting. Good job.

I usually flee fast when music comes on without invitation. But this KD song is great.

Hi! What I wouldn't give for a good ol' soda! Love the cat. I lived in Pullman Wash for a couple of years; that's the dry side!
looks like you and louie must have had a wonderful time in WA. Louie was the name of my dog i had when i was in HS though he wasn't as big as this louie.
I see babs has the same taste as my aliens.
