Hi Everybody!
We had another warm and sunny day today, but the next few days will be
wet and windy again. Whatever, we have to take the weather as it comes!
I have made another journal page for Art Journal Journey, favourite poem or quote. The verse I have used is from Psalm 122 verse 6, 'Pray for the peace of Jerusalem; they shall prosper who love thee'
The background was made with brushos. I added more layers of colour with Gelatos when it was dry, blending with a baby wipe. I sketched in the walls and roofs of the houses to look like the houses in Jerusalem. I coloured the roofs with gold and bronze. I am also linking to Paint Party Friday, hosted as always by Eva and Kristin, and to Mix it Monthly, town or village.
I enjoyed my walk along the Rhine and through our 'town' today; spring is a good time to be outside and enjoy nature.
Have a great day you all, take care,
and thanks a lot for coming by!
schöne seiten und tolle bilder.
ReplyDeleteich geh jetzt ins bett,schönen tag dir.

ReplyDeleteHi Valerie. Your journal pages are beautiful and very interesting,. Love them! The photos you take always stand out. I feel I'm there. Perhaps I'm walking by the Rhine with Vincent. You think? Wouldn't it be awesome to just shake his hand. Have a great weekend.
ReplyDeleteIt's looking very Spring like in your part of the world :) Love the art... the colors are blended so well and so reminds me of pictures I have seen of Jerusalem.
ReplyDeleteYour journal page is gorgeous and well thought out. I love the addition of the Hebrew letters (characters?). Very nice. Along with you, I am so glad that spring has arrived. It has been a very hard winter for us here in Virginia. My butterfly bush died, all except one long branch, and I have had it for years. Lots of deadwood on shrubbery too. But the flowers now are beautiful.
ReplyDeleteEnjoy spring, it is such a wonderful season!
DeleteBeautiful page. I love using gelatos too. They are a great way to add color. Would love to invite you to link at my site too.
ReplyDeleteHappy PPF

Valerie this is a beautiful piece, I love the colours and dreamy effect it has! Your Spring walks look so peaceful and good, enjoy when the sun is out!
ReplyDeleteDeine sonnige Häuserlandschaft ist einfach perfekt gelungen, sehr stimmungsvoll!
ReplyDelete... wir hatten das kühlere Wetter schon heute!
LG Ulrike
Wir auch- viel Sonne aber echt kalt!
DeleteThat is a beautiful verse, to go with your equally beautiful page; such a wonderful reminder to pray for Israel and the precious Jewish people.
ReplyDeleteHugs,
Teresa
Lovely art works and sunny and full of light photographs. Thank you for sharing.
ReplyDeleteYour real-life photos of your walk are so bright and fresh with the Spring-like warmth, all beautiful.

wonderful shapes and colors that make up your painting.

Was eine grossartige Seite! All die Häuser Seite an Seite mit ihren runden Dächern, so wunderbar und warm. Wie schön die goldenen Kuppeln leuchten! Ich bin begeistert! Auch von Deinen so schönen Fotos wieder! Frühling ist meine zweitliebste Jahreszeit :) ♥ Conny Mix It Monthly
ReplyDeleteI'm bit envious of your town. I wish I lived somewhere that nice. Happy PPF! :)
ReplyDeleteYour project colors are so beautiful today and I especially like the outlining of the text in white. Your photos are also marvelous and spring is definitely here. We had our sprinkling system turned on today. Each fall, they clear the lines and turn it off so now we can water the flowers and lawn.
ReplyDeleteEnjoy your weekend; I hope it is beautiful as it was today.
Hugs,
C

I am so very glad I decided to take some time and play catch up - you know Valerie, this has to be one of my most favorite journal pages!!!! You are so rooted in the Old Testament - I stand in awe!
