Hi Everybody!
Hope you all enjoyed your weekend. We had another cold and sunny day here,
and I was able to go walking again along my beloved Rhine,
so I was really happy. On Monday it's back to Boot Camp/Rehab and 6 hours of intensive training. But it is helping, so that's the main thing!
For Art Journal Journey, if you go down to the woods, I
made another hybrid piece, a little blast from the past, using a stencil (stencilry)
of John Lennon over a wooded background.
I am also linking to 99 faces (face 78)
And to get you into the 60s mood:
The day started with a beautiful sunrise:
Mrs Thrush was once again the first in the queue for breakfast:
In the Basilica:
Along the Rhine:
In the castle grounds:
Have a wonderful day, take care,
and thanks a lot for coming by!
Hi Val, strange that you made this one with John Lennon, I saw a programme about the Beatles the other day, and they spoke about Norwegian Wood. Love your page, very nicely done, really coool! Hugs, Sarah
ReplyDeleteYour page today is exquisite. I love the background and the overlay of John Lennon is a terrific contrast. Your photos are bright and cheery and I was happy you were able to go for a walk along the Rhine. Take care and onward to boot camp in the morning.

So pleased the weather has been to kind to you this weekend Valerie and that you are getting fit again thanks to boot camp and your own hard work.
ReplyDeleteLove the John Page and the great song.
Wonderful light in the photographs
Sleep well
Love Chrissie xx
Boot camp has its pluses, as you are getting out and about again on your lovely walks. Its a fabulous page using John Lennon, he was a star.

Your John Lennon piece is wonderful. The video was a nice touch. Didn't they look so young at that point?You see photos of Paul and Ringo now and although they don't look bad, it is sometimes hard to really believe that all that time has passed. And the photos of the sunlight through the stained glass in the Basilica is gorgeous. Hope your week at rehab goes well this new week.

Wow, what an amazing stencil! Never seen that one before, makes for a great focal point on that forest background!
ReplyDeleteI feel like I've been in a time warp when I saw the young Beetles. Although I've never been a big Beetles fan (they were no longer together when I first became interested in music, John looks like I remember him from around the time he died. It was a great page and a nice video, too.
ReplyDeleteOf course, I LOVE the rusty pieces along the Castle grounds. My heart always goes pitter patter when I see that sculpture, but the rusty gate around it is fantastic, too. Glad you also made it to the Rhine and the Basilica, too. Hope you are enjoying the rest of your day off.
I knew you would love the rust!
DeleteNice Norwegian Wood inspiration piece!
ReplyDeleteI love to see the crocus coming up like that!

Great Stencil isn't it?! Put together - very clever, Valerie. Ah! That piece of music - blast from the past. Love the sitar. Beautiful photos along the Rhine. So happy you are able to enjoy your walks again and the wonderful sunrises. hugs, Donna
ReplyDeleteHi Valerie, Love your stenciled work and thank you for sharing the music. So enjoyed it. Beautiful sunrise photo and the sunlight in the Basilica. Have a great week and boot camp. xo
ReplyDeleteNorwegian Wood: What a clever idea.
ReplyDeleteThe pictures, as always, are beautiful.
Das gefällt mir sehr - das Portrait von John in Schwarz-Weiß vor dem zarten Birkenwald-Hintergrund! Norwegian Wood ist eines meiner Lieblingslieder von den Beatles.

PS. Werden alle verlinkten Bilder in der Gallery angezeigt oder nur eine Auswahl? Weil meines ist nicht dabei.
OH this collage is fabulous in every way.
ReplyDeleteSuch a great song and singer.
Brilliant for this month's challenge too.
Very happy to hear you've been out walking because I know you are doing well and getting back to yourself YAY!!!
oxo
Ein wunderbares Bild mit John Lennon vorm Birkenwald zum Songtext, gefällt mir sehr. Auch weil ich ein großer Lennon-Fan bin....und das Gesicht ist ein Stencil? ganz großartig! LG Ulrike
ReplyDeleteI love that song Valerie, one of my favorites! Well done on your page!
ReplyDeleteSo happy to hear you are up and about walking, just don;t over do it!
hugs,Jackie
Beautiful piece you created. Is Mrs. Thrush getting a little chubby? Maybe that is the reason why she is first in line, lol! As always your pictures are breathtaking and the sunrise and light into the Basilica are a work of art in themselves. Thank you for sharing your world. Hugs, Rasz
ReplyDeleteLove the Norwegian Wood collage, one of my favorite Beatles songs. Glad to see you are recuperating and doing your boot camp! xoxo
