Hi everybody!
Just a quick post, as I need to rest my eyes as much as possible this week after the OP.
Thanks again to all who left such encouraging good wishes on my blog, they were very much apprecated, I will be round to visit you all again next week when my reading ban has been lifted!
I made this journal page last week, after listening to a talk show on TV about masculine and feminine attributes, so this time I concentrated on the masculine ones, and wrote all the words I could think of. Perhaps you can suggest a few more? The background was a brush-wipe page using blues and rust, and the silhoutettes were painted with Viva Color Rust paint and outlined with white.
I am linking to Paint Party Friday, hosted as always by Eva and kristin.
The lovely photos were taken on Monday, before I went into hospital, I love watching the beautiful sunrise each day from my window.
Have a great day, take care, and thanks a lot for coming by!
Very masculine shapes and I love that you added the words inside the silhouettes. The blue and rust background is fabulous. Lovey sunrise photo. Rest those eyes like the docs tell you and have a good week yourself xx
ReplyDeleteLove this Val, and glad your eye is getting better. We were at my Mum's the past three days, she enjoyed seeing the kids, anyway! Hugs, Sarah

Wonderful masculine journal page! Love the manly feel you have created, Valerie! Hugs and take good care!
ReplyDeleteGreat page with wonderful colors. I can see you created a couple of dream men - like dream on!
ReplyDeleteThe view from you balcony is spectacular and I don't think I have ever seen prettier skies. I keep looking at my skies but I swear Valerie they are not as pretty as yours.
Rest those eyes - you have a lot of catching up to do!!!

That background is terrific, and you chose some great silhouettes. I wonder whether there's one male in the world who possesses alll these qualities ... ;-) He sounds too good to be true ☺
ReplyDeleteI am sure not!
DeleteI like the masculine take of your silhouettes, and the photograph is breathtaking. I hope your eyes will heal quickly. Blessings!
ReplyDeleteA pensive journal page. I love the background. :)
ReplyDeleteGreat silhouettes, fabulous wording.. Hope you eyes heal quickly (((Hugs)))
ReplyDeleteHappy PPF

Love this!! I love the silhouette style with the brown and blue (one of my fave color combos). Super page!
ReplyDeleteThe two men look great on that background and with the writing!
ReplyDeleteAch ja :D
Ich hoffe deine Augen werden gut heilen!
Herzliche Grüsse
Ilona
Pretty skies in the pictures! I think all that it can also be women!
ReplyDeleteLoved this page - and the outlines and words written in white really pop off the page. Glad you are on the mend - resting the eyes is a hard thing - we use them so much to enjoy our time - art making, reading, etc. Hoping for a quick healing.
ReplyDeleteI love the rust paint. The colors are gorgeous. Nicely done.
ReplyDeleteA very interesting post. The sunrise is beautiful...well captured. I wish you well
