Sunday mix

Hi Everybody!

Hope your weekend is going well.
I am feeling better now after the OP from Thursday, and trying to gather strength for the next, big knee OP in February.

For Art Journal Journey, winter wonderland, I made another hybrid collage.
The background is a photo taken at the meadows by the Rhine when we had snow. I added some little shadow pics, and the photos of the plane and the horse. The kids and snowman are digital add-ons, as is the snowflake frame. I love mixing real and fantasy this way.




The morning sky is always beautiful, and I have only ever seen this shade of blue
while dawn is breaking.


The plane has just lifted off from the airport:



Took this one through the kitchen window, the sun seems to be heart shaped.


Another huge ship:



This little robin was also enjoying watching the ships:


The gulls were following along in the wake of the ship:


An early bird waiting for his worm:


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

  1. I really MUST get into digital art, because I simply adore how you combine both types of images in your art. This is fantastic.

    I wonder if the gulls are following because they think the ship will have food that might be thrown over. I certainly enjoyed seeing the photo, though! Have a fantastic Saturday.

    Yes, you have NO idea how happy I am to be home!

  7. The way you are presenting your photos in your journal is absolutely amazing and beautiful. I love the dark border which really sets off the photo and added elements. More long ships on the Rhine...great photos too.

  19. There is no one and I mean no one that can create hybrid collages like you - always so wonderful. It would be so exciting if a bunch of us could travel to where you live and you give some classes.
    I am behind as usual and did not realize you had surgery -- glad to know you are doing well. I wish I could live near so I could bring you some home made goodies. Or make your bed or clean up a bit.
    Valerie you know how much I enjoy your pictures -- every single one!!!
    Rapid mending wishes to you --
    Sandy xx

    hugs,

  23. It's a beautiful scene, seen through a gap in the dark and the shadow pictures give an extra touch of magic.
    I've never seen that colour of sky, even early in the morning, so beautiful a deep blue colour.

  26. Just now catching up here, Valerie. As usual, I'm enjoying each and every collage and each and every photo. So glad to hear you made it out of surgery okay and are focused on healing and recovery. Knees are so vulnerable - Achilles was darn lucky only his heel gave him grief, eh? hehehe

  27. Your photos are beautiful - as always. I especially like no. 3 - it has something so typical for the Rhine area (and other areas in Germany). Your collage is gorgeous and made me smile!

  28. oh dear me.. working backwards to catch up, I really missed a lot in last few days. So pleased to hear you are ok Valerie.
    Love your wintery scene and the fantastic mask that frames the setting so wonderfully.
    Great photos too - wow that's a very long boat this time!
    Have a lovely day.......... Gill xxx
