Hi Everybody!
I want to wish all dear friends in the USA a very happy
Thanksgiving Day.
To celebrate the day, and for Art Journal Journey, inspired by the colours of autumn, I made a journal page:
For our private Challenge, 99 Faces, I made a blue lady.
I drew her very simply in black ink and kept to a very limited colour scheme, using a gold pen to add some highlights. She was painted with water colours.
I am also linking to Kim Dellow's show your face:
The sunrise yesterday was wonderful:
The moon was really unusual tonight - not just because it was so bright, but because of the halo of coloured clouds around it.
Beautiful blue lady- so expressive! Also love the Thanksgiving page- we are busy getting ready for the big day-thank you!
ReplyDeleteFabulous face Valerie! I love your Thanksgiving page - the black and white looks great against that background! I missed a glorious sunrise this morning because I slept so badly it was so hard to get out of bed - I am normally up well before sunrise usually! Hugs, Chrisx

DeleteI love your Thanksgiving page. Thanks for the Thanksgiving wishes. And your blue lady looks like she lived in the 1920's-she looks like a pretty jazzy lady. Great sky photos-you must live fairly close to the airport. Enjoy your day!
ReplyDeleteSo thoughtful of you to remember our Thanksgiving with a beautiful journal page. That was incredibly sweet of you.
ReplyDeleteI liked the blue lady and the quote you used. You're right. They aren't real!
Beautiful moon shot. Really atmospheric.
Yes, the moon was very special.
DeleteA fitting page for the US Thanksgiving Valerie, nice work! And a gorgeous blue lady today. Our full moon is a cloudy one tonight.

If I miss anything besides DD when she moves out tomorrow, it will be seeing some gorgeous sunrises/sets on the way to and from the train station. But, I know I will still be able to see some amazing photos when I visit here! Love the Blue Lady and both quotes, too!
ReplyDeleteI really love the warmth of your Thanksgiving Page - just perfect for the subject and for Autumn colours. Your blue lady is exquisite too - wonderful message around her. Your photos are always wonderful, I do love sunrises and sunsets and the pattern of bare winter branches against either the moon or the sun. xx

ReplyDeleteValerie, I enjoyed your pilgrim, traditional Thanksgiving page for all of us celebrating thanks here in the US. We are very fortunate and I'm also thankful for my many friends who I have met on line, like you. Your photos are incredible and your new 'blue' lady provides wise advice today. I know I'm late posting; but needed to state how thankful I am and thank you for all that you give each day to us blogger friends.
Hugs,
