Modigliani, geese and dogs

Hi Everybody!

Hope you are having a good day whatever you are up to!

I think the Meadows looked a little less flooded today, let's hope the water is really receding.

For 'Inspired by the Masters' at Art Journal Journey I have once again chosen Modigliani as my inspiration. I have one more finished, too, but it is hard to stop - the more I look at his paintings, the more they fascinate me! I used a large sheet of black card for the background, a little larger than A3. I must have used it at some time as an underlay sheet while painting, as it had spots and streaks of colour all over it. I added  more  colours with pastel chalks, and left the green streaks at the bottom as decoration. I painted the lady, Jeanne Hebuterne, with water colours and pastel chalks, and then glued her to the background. Then I had a little mishap with some drops of coffee that splashed onto her, but okay, it's art journaling and not for the family portrait gallery! I wrote the quote from Modigliani underneath this time, as it was too long to go around her head. I have had great fun this week spending time with Modigliani!

I am also linking to Paint Party Friday, hosted as always by Eva and Kristin, and to Moo Mania and More, anything goes.

The ducks and geese are really enjoying the flooded meadows by the Rhine:

And these 2 dogs had great fun chasing each other through thewater and splashing around!

 A lot of the trees are covered in toadstools:

 The fire/grill place is a bit too wet to use just now!

Have  a great day you all, take care, 

and thanks a lot for coming by!
