Hi Everybody!
Hope your day is good, wherever you are!
We had dry and partly sunny weather here, and a wonderful sunrise - things which always lift my spirit!
For Art Journal Journey 'Inspired by the Masters' I have made another page in my Giant journal, once again inspired by René Magritte. I find his art and ideas very fascinating. Once again I have used his symbols of day, night, the moon, sun, clouds and landscape. I Painted the background with gesso, and then used sky-blue. For the night images I used blue-black. Tim-Holtz's umbrella man has made an appearance once again. The heads were made with one of my own stencils. I was a bit disappointed at first that the blue/black colour did not completely hide the white of the clouds behind them. Then I decided it gives it more of a dream quality, because in dreams nothing is solid. It's always fun to try to get inside someone else's head, or to allow the images to swim around in your own head....I wrote a quote from Magritte along the edge.
I was up early, it was still dark, but the first light was visible over the airport:
I love the wintry colours here:
And then the sun showed itself:
The starlings were back again, hungry as ever:
The water in the Rhine is rather high, and there were hundreds of wild geese all along the shore:
Have a great day you all, take care, and thanks a lot for coming by!
Another original make! Great photos too! Have a good day!
ReplyDeleteyou always inspire me, always, you are so creative with your art and you have such passion,
ReplyDeleteI wonder if any of the geese live here in summer?
The geese stay here all year round.

Mega cool deine Journalseite! Bei uns sind viele Graugänse auf den Feldern - Sonne gab es zuletzt am Neujahrstag - im Augenblick regnet es mal wieder. LG Dagmar
ReplyDeleteLOVE your Magritte page today, just wonderful, the thoughts going round and round in a dream, just floating by - yes! Great photos, too, with harmonious colours and the sun sparkling on the water. No sun here today! Hugs, Sarah
ReplyDeleteAn interesting piece of art today Valerie and a very interesting quote. Quite true as well I think.
ReplyDeleteLove the photographs and we have the same red sky which usually means strong winds for us. You will need extra food now the starlings have found their way to you 'cafe'.
Have a great day
Love Chrissie x

Love your stenciled art! Big hugs, ~Diane
ReplyDeleteFantastic artwork again, your stencils are great. The morning sunrise is gorgeous. We see beautiful sunsets but not with as much nature as you seem to have in your view. Your photography is beautiful. Take good care, Shirley xx
ReplyDeleteWir hatten heute auch immer mal wieder Sonne, es war aber auch recht diesig. Deine Sonnenaufgangsbilder sind wunderschön. Auch deine Art Journal Seite gefällt mir wieder super gut, der Regenschirmmann ist einfach nur klasse.
ReplyDeleteSuper dreamscape, Valerie. You make Mr. U. work very hard but the results are worth it.
ReplyDeleteYour skyscapes are extra-terrestrial i.e. out of this world.
Hi Valerie, Your inspired art piece is truly stunning. I love anything with the umbrella man.
ReplyDeleteLovely sky pics and the geese are beautiful.
Hugs
Good to see Mr Umbrella Man on today's fabulous tribute to the masters.
ReplyDeleteSuper photos as well.

ReplyDeleteI so enjoyed this one. It is so unique. Although I know it's inspired by Magritte, it also puts me in mind of a Miro. Something about it.
ReplyDeleteLove the Rhine photos and sunrise, too.
So many new to me artists I am learning about Valerie.
ReplyDeleteThank you for your introductions and for sharing your creativity which is always a delight.
