Under the sea and by the river

Hi Everybody!

I wish you all a good start in the new week!
This will be a quick post today, time has run away again.

For Art Journal Journey, the sea, I have made another underwater page. The background was painted, sprayed and dripped, and I outlined the drips with a gold pen. There is an eclectic mix of creatures, under-sea butterflies, fish, a turtle and shells. I used stencils for the two figures which I painted with Vivacolor rust, and doodled some vines round them. I wrote the quote 'The sea, the mother of all life' with gold.







My walk led me down the Rhine to the next village today. 


The white cattle are back after their winter break




I love this twisty, narrow path leading down to the water



The Rhine is still very high




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

  5. Hello to the cattle today and the very beautiful wisteria-I love those. Tried to grow one once but it failed miserably.

    Terrific page it made me want to dive in and dance under water. Love the idea of outlining the drips with gold pen--genius.

    Have a great day

    Love Chrissie xx

  7. Another fantastic and wonderfully painted page for the theme. I like the way you have outlined in gold and painted the vine leaves, it adds that something extra and it's a lovely picture overall.
    Good luck with catching Time, it's main purpose seems to be running away.

  11. Mit deinen Unterwasser-Inspirationen wirst du noch bis zum Ende des Monats beschäftigt sein, ein unerschöpfliches Thema - und immer hast du so tolle Ideen.
    Die Natur ist im Moment wirklich richtig saftig grün - es sieht einfach toll aus!

  16. WOW, another terrific journal page. I don't believe I have seen a white cow either. They are surely well fed with the beautiful meadows and foliage. Marvelous photos today, Valerie.
