Nice weather for the ducks....

Hi everybody!

It was a cold, wet and windy day here, I would not have got far without my beloved wellies! The night will be stormy too, so hope that it will quieten down a bit tomorrow.

This is a mixed media painting I made last week, where I tried some new techniques, and where everything went wrong. And to add insult to injury, I had to cut off the bottom part of the picture where the table should be as I poured coffee on it. Not much, but enough to make a nasty mess! The background was made with various old papers, glued on with mod podge, and then given a thin coat of gesso. I painted the suares with thinned down acrylics. The vase and the tulips were drawn with pastel chalks, which I then tried to paint over with water colours to see if it would get better. It didn't. Anyway, I made it for Conny's Mix it monthly, 'still-life', so here it is!

And I am linking to Simon Says Monday Challenge, anything goes and Moo Mania and more, bright and cheerful.

This morning was wet, but I enjoyed my walk along the deserted Rhine, and even the ducks were trying to keep their feet dry!

This afternoon it was really wet, this is not a stream, it is the footpath.

I love my wellies!

Have a nice day, whatever the weather, take care,

and thanks a lot for coming by!
