Love the IF topic this week! This piece immediately popped into my head. It's called Listen. http://www.valerielorimer.com

End of the Season Sunflowers

Thought I'd sure my latest piece in progress. Love those sunflowers...

Illustration Friday – Imperfect

I did this piece a while back, but it fit so perfectly with the "imperfect" theme that I couldn't resist putting it up. Hope you enjoy it. I love that despite all our imperfections, we still find things to love about each other.

Society 6 Selection

This is pretty cool…My print "Georgia Sunflower" was selected to be included in the Society6 Shop! If you've never visited the site, it's pretty awesome. You can get a selection of prints on canvas, as iPhone skins, etc. Check it out!

Illustration Friday – Duet

Even though it is a cold and dreary first day of April here in Chicagoland, this seems the perfect "duet" for the day. I so appreciate those days when I have a joyful spirit. Here's to more of those and living each day fully with appreciation for simple joys.

Illustration Friday – Coccoon

I just finished this piece for a local yoga studio. They close every class with this wonderful blessing that seems to just wrap itself around you like a cocoon.

Illustration Friday – Fleeting

Even though right now I'm looking forward to the arrival of spring, and all the beautiful flowers and green leaves - I know there will come that moment when summer will start to flee. The flowers will lose their bright, vivid colors, and a different kind of beauty will come to nature with brightly colored falling leaves. Nature, it seems, is always fleeting. This piece is called Summer's End.
