My mother-in-law loves items with a history. She's great at finding old pots, benches, books...things with a story. Put them all together and they are worth a fortune. She only wishes she could have a fortune to buy all the cool stuff. Don't we all. Anyway, here's a picture of a girl in her grandfather's antique shop. The lady wants to buy the grandpa. This was a spec illustration done for a publisher for a manuscript called "Not For Sale." I didn't get the job but I loved the finished piece.
This is wonderful! Hard to imagine you not getting the job with this. I love the muted detail of the shop!
ReplyDeleteGreat promotional postcard too, btw! :)
I love it too! Great depth, nice atmosphere. Hilarious Grandma!
ReplyDeleteAnd I love the finished piece too!
ReplyDeleteHope the little girl passed on the sale of her grandpa!
What a lovely picture, so much to see, love your style.
ReplyDeleteSweet work Julie.
ReplyDeleteI love how you have brought the girl and the lady to our attention. I also like the depth that you have created with the background, middle and the pot in the foreground.
