My submission for Illustration Friday's "phenomenon" is my Holiday card this year. I decided on a non traditional colour scheme to make it a little different and special :) I have been making cards for 30 + years in every combo of colours and so each year I try to make something a bit out of the ordinary.
Thank you to all the folks that came by this year to see my art and ideas! I was a little lax in posting this year and my fifth year of blogging here passed by and it means so much that you visit and check out my stuff and comment :) Thank you and have a lovely holiday season too!
Nowadays, "phenomena" are often, but not always, understood as appearances. They are themselves sometimes understood as involving qualia.
Neato! I love the colors! : )
ReplyDeleteWhat a cute little house and I love that tree!
ReplyDeleteDelightful as ever, Val! I like the colour scheme and also the little Xmas kitty peering out the window!
ReplyDeleteyellow makes the house look that much warmer and appealing with all that snow around it.love when your cat is lookin out the window. michael dailey

ReplyDeleteAbsolutely gorgeous, Val! We used to have a group at work that would make cards once a month based upon a theme. People became busy with kids in school, etc. and we don't do it any more and I miss it. Hope all your holidays are wonderful!
