Hi Everybody!
It's weekend, so hope you all have a good one!
Today started off cold, damp and windy, but got better in the course of the afternoon, and we had a really pretty sunset.
Today is the last day of the challenge 'Inspired by the Masters' at
Art Journal Journey, and I was really happy to see so many great contributions. I have made a collage of all the projects I made in the course of the month, and I am quite happy with the results. I enjoyed trying new things, like paper weaving, learning about artists, and trying to copy their style, which enabled me to learn a lot. All in all a fun month!
Hope to see you again tomorrow when the new challenge theme will be revealed!
The blackbirds are usually the first visitors each morning. If their 'breakfast' is not yet there, they get noisier and noisier till I take their goodies out!
The evening sky was beautiful. There were still a lot of clouds, but lit up by the sun they made a great scene.
I love the silhouettes of the old man and his grandson:
Have a great weekend you all, take care,
and thanks a lot for coming by!
You are a fantastic photographer! Fab photos!

Each individual piece of art has been a revelation, and I love that you've had such fun experimenting with styles. Seeing your work in that collage is even more fabulous! I find it so hard to pick one single favourite! As always your photos are stunning - my favourite there is easy: the penultimate one with that amazing blue-grey sky!!! Oh wow!! Would you mind if I use it as an art inspiration? I'd love to create something using your photo as a prompt - I'll happily credit you as my inspiration on my blog. Sending hugs- Shroo:)xx
ReplyDeleteThanks, of course you can use the photo, I will look forward to seeing what you make.
DeleteTHANK YOU SQUILLIONS!!! I'll have fun with this project! Hugs from Shroo:)xxx

Fabulous mosaic of all your paintings, a superb collection.
ReplyDeleteThat's a very fine blackbird, he's all ready for Spring and is that his missus in the next photo?
Yes, and she bosses him about - if she wants to eat first, he has to wait in the tree!
