Have you heard of the TownHouse Tango? It could become the latest dance craze... Have I gone over the edge, probably but life is a complicated dance, no? My submission for Illustration Friday's "Tango" theme.

I used to belong to a clique of women that would get together every Monday night for years, we would make and glaze pottery. It was way more of a social gathering than anything and I could even walk to the clay studio, but we did create a lot of wonderful things too. For me, making and painting pottery is one more way I can satisfy my love of houses and buildings but it can be a frustrating creative pursuit. The firing process doesn't always provide the desired outcome. You can spend as much time painting clay as a real painting and end up with nothing. I don't appreciate that aspect of clay but when it does come out beautifully you know why people love it. I really enjoyed these get togethers with all the women, some from Topanga and some from other parts of LA. We even had a few celebrity guests such as Lisa Bonet and Patty Smyth. Most of the ladies were long time friends and we would laugh, tell stories, listen to music, eat food and candy and paint our pots and plates.

Hysterical!

you have the most playful heart, beloved friend.
xoxo
These are the cutest houses and they look like they can really cut a rug! :)
It's a wonderful thing the jump over the edge. Since I left my 9 to 5, I slid over the edge at 100 mph and bashed my head in on the jagged rocks of creativity below.
Yeeehaaaww!
Ha ha!! I was wondering what house-themed illustration you'd come up with for Tango!! Excellent Val! By the way, what is this book you're illustrating on Spain? I'm intrigued!
Que bonitasssss......¿preparadas para el baile??? Un saludo.
It takes YOU to create a wonderful piece like this!
I love it, it made me smile, and I am sure you were smiling when you created it.
Love it! Fun piece Val - great music too. =)
Thanks for sharing.
adorable !!
Lol! Val, I love their legs and it's so original! It should be the new dance craze!
Hey hon, thanks for coming by to visit. I'm so glad I made you laugh. That's always my goal, to make people smile.

Where does one go to take townhouse tango lessons?
Always so clever Val!!!
I was wondering what you were going to do witgh this one Val. You pulled it off! Nice!
Wonderful! Let's hope he doesn't have two left feet as I have a feeling it would be hard to get up with a square body and no arms ;).
I can't say I have but the Illustration works for me. Well done.
You're right! Life is a complicated dance. Great idea Val!
^_^
So funny!!! And so well done, who'd have thought houses could dance!!! Brilliant!
I could see this image used in an editorial regarding our housing market. Great concept!!!
super submission!
Wow! So &sweet & romantic!
yes val, i agree life is like a complicated dance, i can't make the steps right for a long time. and i like the colors you used for this one because it could mean that the colors adds excitement and encouraging moves....i love this a lot!
