multiple listing service


Thanks to Kirsty & Phil and Caroline's hunt for a new home in breathtaking Cornwall (I think I live in the wrong country), this week's Illustration Friday theme, 'multiple', ties nicely into my house obsession. (The houses are 100% Canadian, mind you.) It also doesn't hurt that I finished my latest house portrait (below) yesterday, and just in time to include in this mosaic.

This latest house painting is my favorite of all the houses! You have such a wonderful collection of these paintings, and each one has its own great personality. I especially like the yellow and the curtains in the upstairs window... it makes me feel warm and breezy:>

I love this set of pictures! Don't they look so good together? I'm sure people would pay you to have their house painted!

I also have a thing for houses and just adore your house paintings. They exude love and appreciation for the sweetness of the houses. They bring the houses alive in all their warmth and charm. They make my heart jump with joy.

They are all fab houses, but I'd make the red one my home.

These are great and I like how you grouped them together. You have captured the character of each house, not mere four walls.

I'll take the red one please. :-)

You gotta love a yellow house :-)
Which reminds me, I need to take some clear photos and email them to you so we can start talking about painting mine again :-) I loved the video of your sons. They truly look like great kids :-)

Gorgeous! The whole lot of them.

They look good enough to eat! They should all be listed with Hansel & Gretel Realty.

A collage of your wondrous houses. What could be better? Delightful to peruse. They really, really should go into a book, you know.

I second the idea for the poster. I thought of it as soon as I saw the grouping. I love the houses too, 38 times! Jeez, I wish I got that many posts. You are a pro.
We lived in a yellow house because my father was color blind and yellow was one of the few colors he could really see.

I think it's one of the most beautiful you've ever done (just kidding, of course...but I do love it!)
