Hi everybody!
First of all I would like to wish all friends in the United States a very happy Thanksgiving Day.
Here I am re-showing a Thanksgiving piece I painted a couple of years back,
showing the turkey's point of view:
This week I have spent a lot of time walking around, I am trying to get in as much as I can in case the weather gets bad! But it does me good to be out. I also made a start on the dreaded Christmas cards - but just a start as I can't seem to set my mind to it this time. And I finished off some more journal pages started 3 years back. The background has been painted, sprayed and then collaged with pieces of a paper napkin. I then added more colour with pastels, and doodled round some of the figures, and just had fun being crazy. I added highlights with gel pens, Stickles and a white pen, and used a stencil for the text. But I am glad I am able to get things finished, even if it has taken a long time....
I am linking to Paint Party Friday, hosted, as always, by Eva and Kristin.
Have a good day, take care, and thanks a lot for coming by!
WOW!!!

Ich bin froh dass Du 'verrückt' UND 'genial' gesagt hast!
DeleteYou can't rush perfection Valerie, lol! Fabulous pages. Xx
ReplyDeleteValerie. Queen of the journal pages. Fabulous humour with these ones. I think they are all in a class of their own. I also like the Thanksgiving verse too. Hugs Rita xxxx
ReplyDeleteHi Valerie, What wonderful journal pages filled with Autumn colors~~ and the turkey point of view is so creative. Thank you for the Thanksgiving wishes.
ReplyDeleteHave a wonderful weekend too.
Hugs
I think these journal pages are your best yet, I love all the birds and I am unable to choose a favourite - maybe the one with the long beak (the red blue footed penguin (?)), and the one above the toadstool. I also like the various creatures especially the frog at the foot of the second page (hope he is a frog and I haven't upset him). Fabulous colour choices too. And of course I like the opinionated turkey, nice tattoos, Mr. Turkey.
ReplyDeleteIt's a psychedelic penguin, I think the birds and frogs all ate too much of those magic mushrooms! Peace!
DeleteLOL, love your take on thanksgiving and love your fab pages Valerie, happy PPF, Annette x
ReplyDeleteFantastic pages Valerie. I am having a good laugh at those words from that turkey. I wouldn't like to be the one trying to catch it for the roast.

Your glorious journal pages lifted my heart, so warm and colourful, and full of detail I can let my eyes wander round again and again. Thank you for the bright moments the bring, and for your kind comments on my post.

Your journal pages are awesome, love the turkeys point of view, you are so humorous! All the pages look like you had so much fun making them! ~Diane
ReplyDeleteCool journal pages! I am wondering if the quote inspires the collage or is it the other way around? Hugs!
ReplyDeleteHi Valerie. Love your sense of humor. Awesome turkey, tee hee. Thanks for wishing a Happy Thanksgiving and you too. All your pieces are wonderful. :) gloria
ReplyDeleteWow is right! So glad I did not miss this --- the colors are fabulous and that turkey is quite a catch - that is if you can catch him. So funny. Love your art work!!
ReplyDeleteBusy time here in the States - I do not do the sales - I hate shopping and crowds too for that matter. Would rather be on one of your beautiful walks.
Sandy
Me too - I hate shopping and crowds!
