My submission for Illustration Friday's "brave" is a cropped version of my idea of "Home of the Brave". I had to crop an illustration I have already submitted before because I am pressed for time but I love to submit for the word :D it is a joy to play along each week! This is from my 2004 HomeMade calendar and it is called "Field House". I live in an area where the Chumash Indians lived.
I am taking care of Nomi and I walked her behind the house into the park and we stumbled upon
the most beautiful mushrooms. So I thought I might share a little slice of my world and it is very spring-like today :) Enjoy and have a lovely weekend!

My submission for Illustration Friday's "Flying" theme is the cover of my 2004 HomeMade Calendar. The image is titled "Flying Home". I have not shown this version but I had to use this for the prompt because it is a signature image for me and I have done this very image in 4 colour combos, I have made several dimensional versions and a variation of this image has graced my stationary & business cards. The image below is a reversed version of the stationary card I submitted a few weeks ago. When I have time I try to paint the image I am working on in reverse so I have two versions and I fleshed out the windows a bit more so you can tell these butterflies are houses. This fits the flying theme well too.
Today I had John choose a winner from the pool of submissions for the Uprinting Greeting Card Giveaway and Diana Evans is the winner and she will receive 250 greeting cards!!! I will receive a set for sponsoring this contest on my blog. Tonight I will launch a new Uprinting Giveaway where 2 of my friends will receive 250 business cards so please keep trying because you are bound to win one of these gifts and all you have to do is tell me what you will do with your printed item and who you plan on giving them to :) Thank you to all you girls that participated and Congratulations Diana!!!

Her there ValGal!
Love your "brave" choice. Very nice! It must be cool living near Indian territory. Love your Photos. I was smiling when I saw the mushrooms because... I keep my camera with me and whenever I see mushrooms I get a picture. :o) I just think they are so cool. These shrooms that you found are very, very cool!

The shepherd is gorgeous. I'm glad you had doggy company! I know you still miss Ratty :(

'love the photos! Spring-like weather = :)
I found such a quiet calming moment when I came by to see what you have done with BRAVE this week. To take a walk with you and your camera through the grassy places to see mushrooms and magical houses in the landscape and that wonderful dog as well was an unexpected delight.
ha ha. I never even thought of that. great idea and lovely drawing
very nice tee-pee!
oh Nomi is so cute, did you find any Gnomies under those mushrooms?
i love those mushroom pictures. I kept half-expecting I'd see a little person living under them.
