The face of the night

Hi you all! It's hard to believe, but today the temps soared to 15°, and we saw the sun. Tomorrow should be even better, so I am really hoping that the loooong winter is over and that spring is springing.

I have made another journal page today. I started this a couple of years back. I used half of the painted sheet then, and decided to finish the second half today. I did my usual dripology outlining, this time with a silver Edding pen, which I also used for my profile, the stars and to outline the silhouette.The black parts have been given some sparkle with soot black stickles, but you can't see it here.

I am linking to   Art Journal Journey, the landscape within me.

I baked a lemon cake yesterday, onto which I squeezed more juice while it was hot, so had to spend some time eating cake and drinking coffee. Sorry, it didn't survive long enough to have its picture taken!






I saw this beautiful rainbow yesterday evening and had to take a picture through the trees. I did my best to damage the table while diving to the balcony, but don't worry - no damage done; wish I could say the same for me toe!


Have a good weekend, take care, and thanks a lot for coming by!

  5. Love you finished journal page and the outlined head!!! Gorgeous, as is that Rainbow! The lemon cake with extra lemon sounds so delicious! I am one that when I order lemonade, I asked for extra lemon and not just one slice! Enjoy your nicer weather!

  12. It's such a beautiful painting, Valerie, with the combination of orange and black. I like the cat on the wall - hope you meant it to be a cat! That's a superb photograph of the rainbow even if your poor toe had to suffer for art.

  18. A stunning work of art Val - the outline technique is amazing.
    The photo is beautiful too - I LOVE rainbows - there is something magical about them. I have just watched a glorious sunset from my craft room (AKA spare bedroom!) - isn't nature wonderful.

    Hope your poor toe is on the mend by the way.
    Hugs, Sylvia xx
