Life, love, hope

Hi Everybody!

It's the middle of the week already, where does the time go?

For Art Journal Journey I have an A3 mixed media page. The central part is a photo from the early 1940's, which I enlarged and digitally altered. I love the way they are both looking hopeful, but somehow serious, perhaps wondering what their future would be. They were Jewish, and lived in Hungary, and from there they fled through various countries, trying to find a safe haven from the Nazis. I asked Leah what happened to her husband, she just said, 'They took him'. And he never came back. Lea survived, married again after the war and lived here. I looked after her for her last couple of years in the old people's home. She never wanted to speak of her terrible experiences, but always smuggled food into her room and hid it in a suitcase in her wardrobe, together with a few essentials, so she would have something if she ever needed to flee again. 

For Wen's neutrals I altered a photo:

This is the tag made for Tag Tuesday, where our theme  was shadows/reflections:

I think the blackbird was trying to pretend that he wasn't interested in the food:

But then he thought better of it:

And the pigeons were sitting on their branch this morning waiting for me to put out their food:

We've had a lot of rain, so the Rhine is full:

Have a good day you all, take care,

and thanks a lot for coming by!
