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!
Amazing impact and such depth to the sky.

very dramatic piece and a beautiful capture of the rainbow at the sacrifice of your poor toe! Glad it's warming up finally for you.
ReplyDeleteLove 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!
ReplyDeleteGorgeous photo and I do hope the rainbow promises spring weather. Your new journal pages are gorgeous too.
ReplyDeleteHugs,

Beautiful page Valerie--love the bright colour.
ReplyDeleteNice to know you had sun and warmer weather yesterday but even better that it has come our way today-so good to be able to go outside without a scarf and hat lol.
I can smell your wonderful cake from here--yummy.
enjoy your day
Love Chrissie xx

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.

Another beautiful page Valerie! I love the face image and the moon in your eyes is so appropriate! Beautiful rainbow, hope your toe is OK. The lemon cake sounds delicious! ~Diane
ReplyDeleteCompletely amazing journal page Valerie - so clever I think. And the rainbow picture is beautifully captured. Hope your toe isn't too sore. But worth a little pain I think, :0) Mo x
ReplyDeleteBeautiful journal page, very impressive, and love that photo. Hope your toe isn't still hurting!
ReplyDeleteHugs, Barb
I've got a picture in my mind of you now, hobbling about with a big throbbing toe! I do love your outline paintings Valerie, they're so clever. Enjoy the warmer weather. Xx
ReplyDeleteA stunning work of art Val - the outline technique is amazing.
ReplyDeleteThe 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
"... so had to spend some time eating cake and drinking coffee." That's a girl after my own heart!
