Grungy walls

Hi Everybody!
It's weekend - enjoy!

Today I have a hybrid piece made using the photo of the grungy wall
that I took this week, with my Modigliani knock-off that I showed yesterday
placed onto it. The colours go so well together. The rusty heart is one I bought here, and is in reality about 1", I just enlarged it a bit.
I am linking to Art Journal Journey, if music be the food of love and Moo Mania and More, hearts.




Here is the grungy wall photo again; if you want to use it, feel free!



The Rhine was a lot higher today, but as it hasn't rained for 2 days I am hoping it will soon go down again. The little stream is very full:



Here, where it joins the Rhine, the water is up to the level of the bridge, you can't see the arch underneath just now. The footpath leads over the bridge:






I found another nice, grungy wall today:


The gangway to the boats is almost on a level with the towpath:


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

    Those trees obviously don't mind getting their feet wet! The winters have been so wet these past few years. Your painting is fabulous and I love the graphic ducks you posted yesterday. Enjoy your Saturday! Xx

    I like this piece you created today, possibly better than yesterday's art. I love hearts, so this spoke to me.

    The water actually looks dangerous in a couple of your photos. I also hope it goes down quickly, because floods are no fun. We've experienced a few in the States recently, and I've watched with interest as you report on the Rhine.

    Have a lovely weekend.

    Liebe Valerie,
    wunderschön dein Modigliani mitsamt zauberhaften Herzklopfen... Der Rhein ist wirklich total voll, hoffentlich haben die Bäume nicht mehr allzu lange nasse Füsse. Ich mag deine wundervollen Mauerbilder sehr, sie sind absolut genial.
    Herzliche Grüsse, Sichtwiese

    Herrliche Kombination liebe Valerie, diese gerissene Wand mit den schönen Erdtönen paßt perfekt zum Modigliani-Motif, dazu noch das Herz mit Text,perfekt. Gefällt mir besonders gut. Drück mal die Daumen, daß das Wasser nicht zu hoch steigt und du nasse Füße bekommst. ;)
    Happy Valentine's Day!

    Oh my, the Rhine is really full and when the water of the stream is the same height as the river it will overflow its banks. With no new rain it should start to recede soon.
    The background using your photo is perfect for your Midigliani portrait, and the added heart is timely for a Valentine. Lovely combination, especially the colors.
    Hugs,

    I love your face on the grungy wall ♥♥♥♥ I wish I cold type my hearts in rust colors to go with it :) Your water is getting high out there and I do hope it starts going down soon. The sun is out today but it's still only 17° F so I don't know as if I'll be walking outside too much...just to the mailbox and back probably :) Have a great weekend :)

    This is an amazing way to use the Great Wall photograph and I just love the one you found as well. The face looks amazing against it for sure. Still a lot of water and I hope the sun shines soon and dries it up a bit

    Love Chrissie xx
