Hi everybody!
We had another sunny day here, with blue skies, and a fantastic sunset in the evening. Rain is on its way again, but it's good to enjoy the good weather as long as it lasts!
My painting for Art Journal Journey today has been inspired by 2 masters - can you guess their names? One lived in the 15th / 16th centuries, and the other in the 20th. The 2 quotes are from these 2 artists, I am sure you will know who said what!
I used a stencil from Stencilry.org, and acrylic paints. Apart from that, I kept it simple....
I am also linking to Paint Party Friday, hosted, as always, by Eva and Kristin and to the three muses, white space
The boats often have lovely names. Today I saw Brahms and St Antonius swimming by:
The gulls and wild geese were happy:
I love this shot of the blackbird among the leaves:
And I had fun playing with my loooong shadow again:
All in all, a beautiful day!
Have a great day, take care,
and thanks a lot for coming by!

Great idea with the combination, Val, Warhol was never a fave of mine, but Leonardo's work always looks good! Just love how you have put them together! Well thought out! Have a lovely day, it's very wet here! Hugs, Sarah
ReplyDeleteOh, you're a clever artist, great idea!
ReplyDeleteI've never used this kind of stencils - would be nice to see the process how you use them - next Friday?
Happy weekend!
I will try to do a little tutorial for next week!
DeleteGreat fusion of the different artists today Valerie-love the colours you have chosen and the quote.
ReplyDeleteFantastic photographs with the outstanding one for me being the last one with the many rich colours and layers.
Raining and windy here--yuk.
Have a great day

What a wonderful stencil! You made good use of it. And the sunset photo is breath-taking.
ReplyDeleteFabulous page combining the two artists, I wonder if Mona would have been so popular if she had been painted in those colours, super quotes as well. Loved the photos and the last tree is a beauty.

ReplyDeleteThis is fab Valerie, a great mashup of the two artists. Your photos are really lovely today, that sunset - mwahhh xx
ReplyDeleteWelch ein Zufall, da haben wir am gleichen Tag beide 2 Künstler kombiniert - mit einer Überschneidung sogar!
ReplyDelete... Wenn ich mir das Wetter auf deinen tollen Fotos anschaue, habe ich das Gefühl, dass du auf einem anderen Planeten wohnst, denn hier ist es alles andere als sonnig.
Ein kreatives Wochenende wünscht Ulrike
Wonderful art and you know how much I love your photos. The bird in the leaves is amazing.
