claudine hellmuth's blog: retro * whimsical art and illustration

illustration friday: windy

Here's my submission for Illustration Friday's theme of "windy"

(click image to enlarge)
When I read the theme I imagined a girl taking a ride in the country on her little Vespa, scarf flowing in the breeze (wind), and of course her little doggie along for the ride.

Oh the rainy day way over there!! She does look quite cheeky as if she is enjoying the fact she is in the sunny countryside and those poor city folk are being rained on...if she only knew I love the rain more heheh
always makes me smile!

OOh, too cute - I love the one rainy cloud over the city, but the country road she's on is all sunshine - makes me want to go for a nice long Sunday drive today. Such a cute illustration =)

Lovely!
I got a small dog (Morran) just so I could take her with me on my Vespa. But I kept Morran in a backpack though :)
I don't have a Vespa any more.

That scooter looks so fun! Dont think I would get too far around here with it in the winter but it sure does look fun! Oh, if I only lived on the west coast!

Very cute, I love my Vespa and ride it all around town... I always wear my helmet... I don't think my cats would appreciate the fun windy ride though.

Nice piece! Love the dog. I keep seeing the dotted line of the hill cutting thru your lady's neck... I think Halloween's still on my mind!
