Hi Everybody!
Hope your day is going well!
We had a sunny and pleasant day here, not warm, but warmer than it has been, although there was a thick frost in the night. It's so good to see blue skies instead of grey.
At Moo Mania and More we have a new challenge for the next 2 weeks - 'Feelings of spring'. All formats are allowed, so unleash those spring feelings and share them with us during the next 2 weeks! For my DT piece I made a journal page, which is also meant for Art Journal Journey, Favourite poem or quote. I painted the background with water colours, and then added extra colour with Gelatos. I painted the little girl with water colours and the flowers with coloured ink. I stenciled some chicken wire and Dina Wakley's birds in the background, and stamped the bee (LaBlanche) with archival black and coloured it in. I wrote the little verse to go with it.

I enjoyed my walk with milder temperatures and blue skies today.
This moving sculpture is on the roof of one of the houses by the Rhine, it reminds me of a giant dragonfly.
And I was very happy to see that the swans were back again. I watched them swimming down the stream yesterday, and today they were bobbing around in the Rhine near the mouth of the stream. The water is running high just now, and some of the trees and bushes are already under water.
Have a great day you all, take care,
and thanks a lot for coming by!

ReplyDeleteHugs, CM
lovely page, I love spring! And beautiful swans.
ReplyDeleteLOVE THE QUOTE AND THE ART ID GREAT!!! Sending you positive thoughts of warmer days♥
ReplyDeleteIt's been said before, by me and others, but the walks you take look lovely walks. I especially liked the first photo, I could just imagine walking along that path. The water with the swans looks so wet and ripply, really good photos.
ReplyDeleteYour painting is so Spring-like, almost Summer-like, with the pretty flowers and the little girl, a superb painting.
Your little girl is adorable, so dreamy, love it!
ReplyDeleteFantastic journal page, the little girl looks so sweet among the flowers. Lovely photos, especially liked the swan and the reflection in the water.
