Van Gogh with bandaged ear

Hi Everybody!

Another week has flown by - where does the time go?

The older I get, the faster the hands of the clock seem to turn, 

or is it just that I need longer to do things?

For Art Journal Journey, birds, beasts and humans,  and Paint Party Friday I made anotherA3 page in Van Gogh style. I painted the background in acrylics in red and orange. I drew Van Gogh onto a separate sheet, and painted him first with water colours and then pastel chalks. After cutting and gluing I wrote the details along the edge and a quote of Van Gogh's underneath. I drew the smoke from the pipe with pastel chalk.

This morning started off very foggy again, but in the afternoon the sun came out - rather pale and watery, but it felt good! The mist thinned, too, but it was still rather hazy.

Here the falcon was slumbering in the tree behind the garden.

The heron was standing at his usual spot and I watched him

catch a fish:

I love the way the anchor is glowing in the sun.

Have a great day you all, take care,

and thanks a lot for coming by!
