Hi Everybody!
Hope your weekend was good! It was a cold and grey day here, but it did stay dry, so I was able to walk to Schloss Kalkum and visit the geese and ducks, which was very pleasant.
For Art Journal Journey, things with wings, I have made a fitting journal page, this time with geese in love. The sentiment is short, and this time in German. 'Gans verliebt' (Goose in love) is a word play on 'Ganz verliebt' (Totally in love). I drew my geese on a painted background, which was also stenciled with various patterns and birds. After drawing the geese, I painted them with gesso, and water colours, adding shading and details with Gelatos and gel-pens when it was dry. I am also linking to Moo Mania and More, poultry, and Simon Monday Challenge, animals
This duck was sitting on the bridge over the moat:
This beautiful chap tried to hide in the grass when he saw me:
This lovely grey goose was out for a walk in the park:
The northern wild geese always look rather snooty:
And this duck up on the turret was evidently aspiring to higher things:
Have a great day, take care,
and thanks a lot for coming by.
Wow, beautiful journal page, Val. Thanks for sharing those real pics of ducks, truly inspiring.

I hope today will be as good for you and you can have another nice walk.

Awww, that is a beautiful page Valerie; the geese so cute {{Hugs}} :o)
ReplyDeleteCute geese Valerie, I wish they were all that friendly looking. I remember holidaying on a farm one year and the geese were vicious! Xx
ReplyDeleteTrue, I often get shooed away when I go too near when taking pics - better than guard dogs!
DeleteDeine verliebten Gänse sind wundervoll Valerie! Ein Hammer ! Und all die schönen Detailaufnahmen von den Watschelgesellen sind wahrlich beeindruckend ! Ich wünsche Dir noch einen wunderschönen Tag Sweetie!
ReplyDeleteI love your fun geese Valerie and the background is fab.
ReplyDeletexxx Hazel.
Adorable journal page, and the ducks in the photos look like they are smiling for your camera!

I love the fun imagery and bold colors in your new feathers page. With that gorgeous variety of water fowl in your part of the world, I'm not surprised by your duckies. Blessings!
ReplyDeleteYour make brought on a chuckle from me. I do love ducks especially the babies. Beautiful colors! Wonderful pictures - you have given us some shots that I have not seen before!

The Love Birds are adorable♥♥♥♥ Nice photos from your walk... ducks have such beautiful iridescence colors . When I wore makeup I loved those colors of eye shadows. That was many , many years ago :)
ReplyDeleteI really like your drawing – it is very colorful and would light up a grey day. When Canada Geese fly over we always look up at the sky as we recognize their calls. The Canada Geese seem more slender than the geese you show. I liked that duck perched on top the roof.
ReplyDeleteThe geese on your painting look so cute and happy today. Super photos of the walk as well

Love the cute faces of the ducks Valerie. What a cheerful work of art. Perfect to go with your walking pics. Love the emerald heads of the mallards.
ReplyDeleteHugs, CM
What adorable geese on your beautiful painting. This page is so wonderful, Valerie!
ReplyDeleteHugs, Mar
Love your funny ducks on your stunning background. From your photos, I can see where you got your inspiration.
ReplyDeleteI must have caught a similar inspiration as you will see on my blog later today. A little surprise for you and my other followers.
Hugs,
Teresa
A very fun journal page today. The ducks are darling! Great photos of the geese and ducks too.
ReplyDeleteHugs,

Love these super cute ducks. They are smiling and look like they are ready for the spring rains.
ReplyDeleteFun happy geese and a great background with the flying geese.
ReplyDeleteSuperb photographs of the ducks and geese, poor little duck not wanting to be photographed for us.
What a fascinating and beautiful building that is.
Completely fabulously happy journal page! Love it - and your wonderful photos as always. I do love geese and ducks - they used to land in my garden at my old house..such a noise they made! Gorgeous post - sending big hugs from Shroo:)xxx
ReplyDeleteAww love your geese, made me smile, and your duck photo's are brilliant - it really looks like Spring is on it's way at last! xx
ReplyDeleteyour journal page is bright, beautiful and fun! such lovely photos as well. I think it would be great fun to take a walk with you. xo
ReplyDeleteEndlich komme ich mal wieder dazu eine Blogrunde anzutreten. Bei dir gibt es so viel zu sehen, da hinterlasse ich dir jetzt mal unter diesem Post einen "Sammelkommentar" - von dem Enten/Gansbild bin ich total begeistert - herrliche Farben und wunderschönes Wortspiel.
ReplyDeleteWir haben gestern bei unserem obligatorischen Waldspaziergang gesehen, dass es in diesem Jahr mehrere Entenpaare auf dem Waldsee gibt. Total schön. Ich wünsche dir ein tolles Wochenende und erhol dich gut von deiner Räumerei.
I always adore how you mix such wonderful art with such incredible photography! You are talented in so many different ways! I love how you created this piece with such stunning colors. It has vibrant energy and your attention to detail is always a joy to see. This piece brought back fond memories I had of living in Europe and visiting geese ponds myself, so thank you for the emotion your piece evoked. And thanks for sharing your talents with us for this week's Simon Says Stamp Monday Challenge!
