Got a laff at Peanut’s expense. Too cute.

ahhhh cute

Peanut is great!

funny! nicely executed!

funny juxtaposition of Peanut the-wonder-wiener-dog and the “hot dang” groupon ad for burgers, I think I know where Peanut is headed!

Adorable…so much personality!

LoL!!!Too cute.

Peanut is adorable!

whuhhh. super. i love the eyeballs on your drawings.

Go Peanut!
Now that is a wiener with style!

With that expression I thought he was running to help cultivate the flower bet…great character.

That is a delightful response to the topic Donna! Great work!

I really like her dreamy expression--too bad that joy in learning disappears from so many people.

very nice!

Beautiful expressive face!

Fantastic!Love her expression:)

love the colors in this one and the quote is perfect. Happy Spring my friend!

Just found you thru IF. Aren't paper bags a wonderful color to work in? Reminds me of my childhood...we did lots of coloring on paper bags. Love your birds' nest pieces, too!

Love this one. The quote is fun and so is the lady. The pretty ones are the ones we would like to be this is the one we are. Hanging onto youth means it is still there on the horizon. I am scared when I don't hold on it will disappear with the sunset forever..........

I love it, especially the hair!

There's something to be said for holding on to youth.

Ooooh..so glad you went with THIS ONE! She looks wonderful - red hair and sun dress! I TOTALLY agree with CS.....there's nothing wrong with holding on to youth - age is all in the head! And if it's still on the horizon - it's still THERE! If Stevie Nicks can do it at 60-something - so can we all!!!!

You really do the most exsquisite things on paper bags! (And I am not saying this because you are my BS!)

I am proud to know an artist like you and hold you close to my ♥!

Love,

♥ Robin ♥

I'm hanging on to youth with my teeth! LOL!!!
I love working on brown paper; it takes media so differently than other substrates.
Nice work Lolo!

XXOO~~♥
Anne

she's a great bag lady... hanging on to youth is okay as long as they're old enough to vote (rim-shot)

I agree about holding onto youth! Hmmm, maybe I should reword the post so I sound more positive about it. I still say "go for it!"
But not in a pathetic way if you get my meaning ;)

Ah.. I think its a great bag lady.
Love your work as always.

Your "imperfection" is wonderful! We always want every piece to be perfect, it's the imperfection that I love, because it's human, whereas the other is divine...something I'm not! Lol! Wonderful colors, style and source...I love it! New blog banner? You always have the best ones!

no apron wringing allowed, ms lolo!

this is an exquisite bag lady. her facial expression is as engaging as her wild hair. i'm not sure she cares about holding on to anything in particuliar and i say more power to her. myself i've made a transition from being a old young woman to being a young old woman and i'm pretty happy with that. of course, i am an aspiring babe, afterall.

i LOVE your bagladies. more more more please. you capture their personas just right.

yay to you, plus a quick smooch.

love

I think it is quite nice...nice header image...not sure if I've seen it before or if it is an update of an idea posted earlier by you...

Oh no,no, don't be so hard on yourself. I think it's a very nice bag lady. As bag ladies run.

She's gorgeous!!!

I love her dress and the beautiful flower in her hair. Lovely illustration.
Deb

she just looks happy to me, and flowers in the hair are always appropriate!

i do know just what you mean though lo, the way past 21 year olds shopping at forever 21, haha! oh dear.

LOVE your paper bag art!

Perfect for the theme.

It is good to see one of your bag ladies again. They all look so friendly even if they are stuck on themselves. ;)

frankly i think my life would be snappier if i dyed my hair red.

glad you acknowledge the passing of time.

kj how do I get to be an aspiring babe too?

I love this quote and I think she's great! She reminds me of someone I know - except the hair is a little less orange but not much.

Great attitude! Love the colours and.. she's not that old!!

She looks lovely...a little rueful...as if she's saying..Oh, well, things aren't so bad..

I love the movement in this. And her inner beauty shines!

Very nice work!

She's so happy, Laurel. I just want to jump into the bag and share space with her for a while.

I really LIKE her!

First of all, I like this very much. At the same time, it appears you've done this on just the one side. Does that make her a half-in-the-bag lady?

I wonder how many ways I do this?
Love all your bag ladies and other brown bag art!

Ha! She's so full of personality! Awesome:)

I really like this, both in terms of the subject and the technique with those interesting textures juxtaposed with line.

Aw sweet, and philosophical and good advice.

Beautiful and very happy too!

Wonderful illo Ginger!!
Have a nice weekend!

Wonderful piece. Love your art. Popping by from IF! New Follow! http://www.popartminis.blogspot.com/

nice job Ginger. I love the texture on the sheep!

Wonderful image, Ginger! I meant to tell you I love your banner! :)

Thank you all. As we wait for the REAL spring to arrive the weatherman just announced more snow for tomorrow and next Thursday. But images like this have me hoping for the green grass and flowers to come.

This is so sweet. Lovely illustration!

nice, with all the different of texture (? I hope that is the rigth word!), feeding your little friends!

Many thanks. The texture on the sheep is created using a pattern that I drew combined with a special brush in Painter 11 that will "emboss" a design into the illustration. Although I like the technique, things like this are best used sparingily... a touch here and there, but never so much that the viewer gets lost in the texture and forgets about the message.

yes indeed....lovely !!!

Great message Ginger! So very, very true! Love how you illustrated the message... so perfect. Great textures too. Love that look on the red hens face ;o)

I love the texture and loosness of lines--so engaging!
