Sun, moon and birds

Hi Everybody!

Hope you are all enjoying your weekend.
We had a wonderful, sunny day after a cold and frosty night.
I enjoyed my walks, it was good not to freeze!
I have also been busy at home these past few days sorting, tidying, trying to bring order into my chaos, not easy for me, but necessary.

For my journal page for Art Journal Journey, things with wings, I used a photo from 2002 as background, taken in Capernaum by the Sea of Galilee  when the late afternoon sun was covered in clouds. I love this sort of atmospheric sky. I printed it out in A4 and used Dina Wakley's bird stencil for the birds. This time I used white highlighter and VivaColor Moonstone glitter. The quote is from Hamlet.







The day started well with a beautiful sunrise over frosty fields:





The weather was mils and sunny:



And the moon this evening had a golden halo, and was very spooky!



Have a good day you all, take care,
and thanks a lot for coming by!

  5. Amazing background for your artwork today Valerie-what a wonderful photograph to use to show off the beautiful birds and the terrific quote.

    Love the pics today and especially the 'Halloween' type sky. I can see that being used in something as a background.

    Have a lovely day and I hope the sun is shining like it is here

  8. Great illustrative picture with your own photograph in the background. I really like the way you have used the birds flying upwards.
    Terrific last two photos of the moon, I agree with Chrissie, either of these would make a good background.

  11. Wonderful art today--I really like the quote you used in this piece. When I saw your last photo of the moon, I immediately saw two figures in it. Perhaps a mother or father on the right looking adoringly at their child, whose back of the head I see on the left. Very spooky! Do you see it??
