Four Little Houses
Each 2.5″ x 3.5″ Copics, fine liners, white gel pen
So WordPress (or my theme or a widget or I don’t know what) has decided to stop informing me when my blog gets a comment! I hope not to miss any but I may miss some. I mean, I won’t miss them forever, but I might miss them longer than intended.
The pair of houses at the top are named Lucy and Ethel. The architect’s signature, when building two houses on adjoining lots, was to name them after sweet memories from his childhood.
A bit of perspective on those left houses. Terrible perspective! But perspective nonetheless. I don’t mind that it’s terrible. I mean, I would prefer to know how to do it better, but one must start somewhere.
Hello to Paint Party Friday! Thanks to everyone for dropping in! I have a new shop!

Cindy, those are some cute cottages and bungalows.
I’d live in any one of those houses, in a heartbeat! In fact, my house looks a lot like Ethyl:)
Oh how I love your houses! They’re perfect. I wish I could some like that. Be proud.
Love those little houses! Valerie
The houses are adorable, & I love the little story!! My house is rather like them as well
Happy PPF!
Adorable chalets, carriage cots, and shanties……certainly gives the word “lean-to” more meaning. I love the details; cobblestones, potted plants, mini gazebo and widow’s walk…….where in the world do you come up with your ideas and inspirations!
Very whimsical and fun! I can definitely see these as illustrations in a children’s book.
Love the whimsical houses. You are so clever. Yahoo has changed its policy and perhaps the others have too. Most of my email nowadays is refused mail. I leave comments, but the artists are not notified by email any more. Some are but most aren’t. It is very frustrating. I have gone to every link Yahoo has sent me to but I don’t understand if there is a way for an individual to fix this or not.
Your artwork is so fresh and droll. I love the whimsey you put into your paintings.
I love everything about your whimsical houses. The shapes, the colors, the fabulous details and the sweet wonkiness!!! I am not sure you want perfect perspective with them – and you are right we all have to start somewhere.
These are great! Makes me wonder who lives inside and what their declaring tastes are like!
I just adore your enchanting houses Cindy-really super art! Happy PPF!
Your work is so colourful and quirky. I love your creativity :)
I would love to live in a village where the houses look like that!
WordPress has been giving me a hard time commenting! I hope you get this one. Love your houses. Wish they were in my neighborhood.
Ah, sorry to hear about the commenting trouble! You succeeded! Thank you kindly. :)
I thought I had commented on your beautiful houses but I guess it didn’t go through. I love these houses and want to live there. LOL
These are so cute. I love all of the colors.
Adorable houses Cindy! The colours are fabulous as always!
When I view these, I always wonder what the interiors might be like. Beautiful color. Wonderful creativity!
Ack! It sucks that you’re not being notified about comments anymore! That requires either obsessive checking or inadvertent missing of comments, neither of which is terribly appealing!
Lucy and Ethel are fantastic, but perspective is difficult! People who have mastered it make it look far simpler than it is for new initiates. Jason always has to help me remember which lines go to which points. (Ugh. I hate bothering him for the 12th time to ask, too.) The little cupola (?) on Lucy is adorable, and I love the colors! And the red fence in the background! So utterly charming! <3
