" If you surrendered to the air, you could ride it" ~Toni Morrison
My submission for Illustration Friday's "surrender" theme is a dimensional painting. Liquitex acrylics on wood panel with wood frame, foamboard building, handmade paper shingles and clay chimney and door handle. The painting is called Home in the Woods.

Very cool. I dig it. I thought it was a box at first.
Would make an awesome box. You could paint a house for each season on each side, put it in a cubby hole, and just rotate it through-out the year.
Anyhow, good job! Very charming.
Ah...looks a bit sad, this home!
:D
I love this dimensional painting :)
The roof is amazing and of course the birds also. The owl is soo cute :)
Fabulous, Valerie. I can't believe you incorporated so many materials! And it's a great quote.
holy woodsyeowza! look at all the detail! :D that chimney is really really cute! so ya know, my grandma jones was in love with owls…(she was my favorite grandma) and anytime i see an owl, my heart just melts thinking of her.
she would have just loved seeing that full belly fella in the window there… :D
i really dig how this cozy little wood home feels even more cozy because it's tucked safely inside the frame…
so endearing ~
:D
I agree with ALL your other comments. So clever -- love the frame idea.
The glow in the window makes me want to get a peek inside!
Intriguing piece, Valerie! And so is Ms. Morrison's quote! Food for thought, that's what I need!
very cool painting.
I just love your art Val! 3-D is totally awesome!
Wonderful emotion yielding illustration!
very, very cool, love the 3d.
oh this is an expressive little house. the eyes, ah, windows, are soulful.
ride the air, the wind? i want to....
love love

A house with an owl is a house with heart! Love it Val!
Wonderful job!
This is so lovely! I would love to hold it and feel all the textures and those paper shingles. You always create such an amazing mood with each of your pieces. I look at these and picture you creating and thinking and waiting for stuff to dry so you can keep going. The video you shared makes these creations even more special.
really cute and a little bit sad this house !!!
super job with the texture on this one...another one that really grabs you!!!
Well, Toni Morrison is right, and it is even better if the wind brings you to a little house like this one.. Sorry I have been lost lately.. this grown old boy life is making me crazy.. hahahaha.. I hope everything is doing well with you over there.. A big hug from here.. =)
Cute cozy cottage!
Your houses are the best, Val!
I love the little owl and branches with leaves in the windows...the house keeps the spirit of nature inside, it's alive ♥
