Hi Everybody!
Hope you are enjoying your weekend and that the weather is being kind to you!
For Art Journal Journey, the sea, I have made a mixed media piece, 'a Bird's Eye View'. The background is water coloured, the boats, standing seagulls, the beach-hut and the back row of deckchairs have been stamped and coloured with inks, the flying seagulls and the front row of deckchairs have been collaged, and the car with the happy holiday makers was drawn and coloured with inks. I used the inks for colouring today as they have nice, bright colours. This was a fun piece to make. I am also linking to Country view crafts, simply scenic, and to Mix it Monthly, a happy couple - I have 2 happy couples of seagulls here, and a happy couple in the car!
The moon was shining yesterday evening although it was still light
And some photos from today's walk along the Rhine, always a wonderful place to be:
seagulls look so free! Nice piece and I love this time of year, the beauty evidenced by your photos.
ReplyDeleteHa ha, this is such a fun page. The sea gulls comment is pretty funny. Feels like summer with all beach chairs...and wow, it is already so green where along the Rhine. Enjoy the rest of your weekend.
ReplyDeleteI think sometimes they really get together when they see people coming along!
DeleteLove your fun page with the cheeky gulls, really well made! Great photos, too. Have a nice Sunday, hugs, Sarah
ReplyDeleteAwesome photos today and just love this fun journal page.xx{aNNie My Personal Blog}
ReplyDeleteBrilliant fun on the beach Valerie! Love it!
ReplyDeleteThis is a great seaside scene, so full of life and happiness.
ReplyDeleteLove the couple in their sweet car and the lady waving.
Love the inlet with the yachts, I think it's very clever how you have fitted that into your scene.
Love the seagull with his amusing comment.
This is a terrific painting.
I often watch the gulls at the Rhine and wonder what they talk about!
DeleteHaha! well now we know, they talk about us of course - and discuss the best way to steal our ice-creams and sandwiches.
DeleteEinfach ein Hit diese Szene Valerie! Super!
ReplyDeleteUnd Deine schönen Frühlings-Stimmungbilder machen mir gute Laune an einem wieder verregneten Sonntag Morgen!

Love the photographs and especially the wonderful horse chestnut tree in blossom.
ReplyDeleteGreat seaside page with lots of colour and fun.. Wish the weather would get better for it to become a reality on our beach. It was sunny yesterday but with a very cold wind. Our neighbour Carol was all alone with the donkeys on the beach and she has to stay there until 5'oclock when the owner picks them up.
Have a good day
Love Chrissie xx
Love your summer page, I wish the weather would warm up here, it's bloomin' freezing again! Enjoy your day. Xx

Don't faint! I have decided today is the day to play a little catch up! We still have a lot to do to get settled but it feels more like home everyday!
ReplyDeleteSuch a fun piece Valerie! Are the birds going to dive bomb a lot or are they going to go on a pooping spree!?!
Loved your walk today - always so nice and so many different things to see. You take the best pictures!!

A fantastic fun beach scene. Love the quote from the sea gulls and had a good laugh. They do swoop down close to folk, especially if they are eating at the time.
ReplyDeleteYvonne xx
