Starting today, I'll be posting a reading picture every Friday. I collect them and what I've noticed is there are many, many more paintings, sketches, cartoons, photographs etc of women and girls reading than there are of men and boys doing the same.
Is this because females tend to do more reading? Perhaps artists find it easier to get women to pose with a book. Male models perhaps prefer posing with dead animals. (If I googled "hunting" the results would probably show more pictures of men than women with guns! I'm JOKING!!)
Anyway, today's Reading Picture ...

another great one val. lov how ur cat pops up in the best of places. michael dailey
Absolutely amazing! :)
i see lots of sugary goodness! i love this. i could gobble it up!!
cat
mmm.. this is a beautiful beautiful piece!!! i could almost smell the sweetness..
These look like some of the homes in a neighborhood here that have to "do it up" for the holidays. The street/block is called Candy Cane Lane for the season. Excess...but fun for the kids and pretty at night!
You always have the most wonderful creative art!! This is gorgeous.
i wanted the one with the red ribbon!
Lovely, your houses make me dream
loverly and cheerful!
What a cute card! I love the purple shadows. Wonderful color choices.
Excessively sweet!
Just the way I like it.
breathtaking, Val, absolutely beautiful!! Still working on getting our card together, I wish I had an assistant to help me with the stuff I don't like to do! ; )
a : )
So cute!! Great card!
omg. my comment must not have taken. i was here earlier drooling over this, and i just came back to look again!
one of the reasons i love this season is that we get to go overboard...be excessive...colours, glitter, sweets, ribbon, tinsel. there's just no such thing as "too much," when it comes to christmas!
love,
cat
B-e-a-u-t-i-f-u-l! I love it, Val... Now I can feel like I live in your stories :)

a beautiful illustration !!! love the colors !!
Beautiful, so magical, i love it!
Love this! Love your little houses..so charming and beautiful :o)
my dear friend val:
i regret to inform you this is NOT excess. this is once again the magic you instill, capture and share.
happy holidays. maybe '08 will be the year?!
:)
The purple tints in this are beautiful Val!! Gets me excited for the holidays too
:)
Oh gorgeous candy-coated colours. It all looks scrumptious. One of your finest!
Gorgous, I really like this, very festive and great colours.
Ohhh, this is a good one! So magical looking!
this is sooo great!!
Wow! Excellent!
Wonderful! The colors, design and your signature houses create a scene of delightful joy. I could live here!
As always your colors are beautiful. The message makes me wonder whether excessive gift giving is good thing. I tend to think not but your illustration, and my wife who loves gifts, are convincing me otherwise.
Excessive giving, I like the way you think!
Oh, this is just beautiful! I love that the colors aren't the typical holiday colors, yet it's so magical and raises my holiday spirit! Clean yet charming and beautifully executed.
Beautiful as always, Val!
haa--whatta sweet houses! cute idea.
The colors are breathtaking, Val! Love the purple snow. OOh, goosebumps.
Your illustrations always give me the sense of happiness and joy!
Bellissimo.
Cata
Your colours are absolutely beautiful!
Cool and festive. Thanks for your comment.
How beautiful this is! Love your colors and the kitty in the window!
Wow, that must have been a pain to tie the ribbon on the top of the house like that!
Beauties! All beauties!!!!!!
Great! Ooozes holidays.
What a shimmering glimmering treat and a sparkly delight!
Beautiful! I can't wait to get into the whole Christmas spirit. It's hard living in FL and having 80 degree weather in December. Any who, I was tagged to list 25 of my all time favorite movies and now I'm tagging you that is if you haven't already been tagged. Then, ofcourse you have to tag 5 more people. ;D
great concept...love the colors!
happy, happy town!!!
teri
LOVELY!! :)
Happy Holidays from a fellow artist!
Best,
