Hi Everybody!
For Art Journal Journey, Time, I have another journal page - well, what else? I am also linking to Paint Party Friday, Stamps and Stencils and Kim Dellow's Friday Face Art.
I painted the mixed media A3 page with gesso, adding in some Titan Buff and pink to give it a touch of colour, and used the same pink to do some script stamping very faintly in the background. I drew the face and stamped the flowers, leaves and clocks ( LaBlanche), masking some parts to get clear imprints. I coloured them with water colours. The bird and the stamped sentiments are both from TH. I doodled a vine and some leaves and wrote the sentiment. The face was inspired by one seen on Pinterest.
The sunrise was beautiful again:
The moon visible at 11.30 in the morning
And some cool pathways and places I chose for my morning walk as the weather was so hot:
Have a great day you all, take care,
and thanks a lot for coming by!
Such a pretty page today Valerie! It's amazing how much cooler it is in the shade of the trees when it is hot out.
ReplyDeleteLove the little bird in those beautiful flowers. She's a summer garden nymph. I bet all those flowers love the heat, but hopefully your weather will cool off today. Have a good one:)
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful and wistful fairy - yes, she seems to be a garden nymph, nicee description! Love the photos, too, Hugs, Sarah
ReplyDeleteBeautiful! It really interprets what might be going on inside her head - or what she sees..... And what amazing photography.... we actually have some sun today!!! I wish it were summer though... like in your photos!
ReplyDeleteI love the face you made! And I *love* your pictures of the morning walks.... so beautiful!
ReplyDeleteGreat message! I fully agree! Lovely poster!
ReplyDeleteDieses feenhafte Gesicht mit all den herrlichen Blumen und Sprüchen ist eine Augenweide liebe Valerie und ich kann gut verstehen dass Du gestern lieber im Schatten aspaziert bist!
ReplyDeleteHOT HOT HOT!!!
Wunderschöne Aufnahmen!
Happy Friday !

I love clocks, flowers and faces! 3 out of 3!!! Beautiful! patsy
ReplyDeleteLovely picture, interesting details.
ReplyDelete'learn to pause'...I do - having a blogging break, back in September! :)
Enjoy end of the summer, see you later!
Your page is wonderful Valerie. I love the vine down the left and then the clocks and flowers on the right it just makes it all so interesting to look at as you see the different elements.
ReplyDeleteHappy PPF
Sandy :)
schöne seite und tolle bilder.
ReplyDeleteschönen tag dir heute.
hugs jenny
The page is stunning Valerie with amazing ideas that stand out from the delicate background.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful leafy walk with lots of shade--a wise choice for this sort of weather
Have a great day
Love Chrissie xx
I was very impressed by the long neck this gal has. I say that because I have no neck, so I'm a bit envious. I like how you incorporated both clock faces and flowers into her lovely face. This is super.
ReplyDeleteSpeaking of super, I was super impressed that the area you were walking in looked like a country path. However, our country paths don't have gorgeous light posts along the way. You have such welcoming areas, and I can see why you photograph everything along the way as you walk. I especially like the moon shot, too.
Lovely journal page - I love the colours. That park looks like a really nice place to walk out of all the sun (not that I'd know as we still haven't had any!!)
ReplyDeleteSorry, we've been having more than we want here!
DeleteLOVE LOVE LOVE.XX
ReplyDeleteJust beautiful Valerie -- love the vine doodle and how you mixed the clocks and flower & leaves stamp to frame your face. Really great use of color too. Pinned!! -- Mary Elizabeth
ReplyDeleteStunning journal page, Valerie. It has such a fresh, clean and beautiful look to it. And what a sunrise!!!
ReplyDeleteSuch a creative piece! I love how you used the vine to complete the side of the figure! Happy weekend!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful photos today, the little trails are my favourite!! Gorgeous piece, the flowers and birds are so romantic and pretty! hugs :)
ReplyDeleteBeautifully done Valerie - I am playing around with some of my mixed media supplies - sprays, stencils, Brushos, etc. I have a new appreciation for those of you who are so successful making such beautiful backgrounds and then the best focal point to go with it.

Love the collage flowers and face. So pretty and the colours are wonderful!
ReplyDeleteThe more I study this the more I love it!
ReplyDeleteSandy xx
Thanks Sandy, you are a Sweetie!
DeleteThe face work is so pretty and I love the flowers framing her! Beautiful work, Valerie! Wonderful photos to start the weekend! Hugs!
ReplyDeleteHi Valerie, good to see you and hope all is well.. Your piece is pretty cool. Love that long neck. Of course the walking photos are always excellent. Enjoyed your post.
ReplyDeleteI keep forgetting to ask. May I add your blog address to my left sidebar? It helps me keep up with the latest posts of my favorite artists. I always ask permission and never add blogs or web sites to my sidebar that I don't have permission to add.
ReplyDeleteYes, of course you can!
DeleteThank YOU for the honor. Noted and added.
DeleteShe's just lovely ~ with those flowers (and bird!) in her hair. And her message too!
ReplyDeleteVery elegant and a touch of romance....the fragrance of the flowers, and the soft swirls and wonderful words of wisdom.....A most beautiful page...and yes, the bird...the final and lovely touch.
ReplyDeletejeden tag wundere ich mich, wie viele seiten du schaffst! und spazierengehen schaffe ich auch nicht bei dieser Hitze - in aller frühe mag ich nicht aufstehen und sogar abends ist es zu warm...
ReplyDeleteIch wundere mich manchmal auch! Wer nicht schlafen kann hat eben mehr vom Tag!
DeleteBeautiful artwork. I love it and I love the quote. I hope I take the time to smell the flowers often enough. And what a lovely park.
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful design. She is gorgeous!!
ReplyDeleteHave a great day!
Nora
