Hi Everybody!
Before I moved to Germany I spent the last year or so living in Liverpool, on the corner of Penny Lane and Dudley Road, so this song from the Beatles always had a big significance for me. I composed the middle part from various elements and photos in my graphics programme, pasted it onto an A3 gessoed page, and extended the centre part with Gelatos and pastel chalks. Then I added the fussy cut pillar-box, little girl and cyclist, some music washi tape, and some stenciled birds.
I am linking to Art Journal Journey, for the record, and Moo Mania and More, music.
I love it when a frosty night is followed by a misty morning, and it is always special to see the sun sailing up through the mist:
My visitor was sitting patiently in the tree waiting for me to stop playing around and put out some food - and the leaves on the trees are now really visible:

Have a great day, take care,
and thanks a lot for coming by!
I was wondering when you'd bring the Beatles out to play - lovely page! Great photos, too, and I always like listening to the music. Good night, hugs, Sarah
ReplyDeleteHi Valerie. Great photo shots. I always loved the Beatles. Always will. How wonderful that you lived on Penny Lane. How exciting. Love your tribute.::hugs::
ReplyDeletereally nice mixed media Liverpool inspired page! No leaves yet for us!
ReplyDeleteLove your Beatles page, and your connection to the song makes it even better. And your visitor is very patient. But the fact he can wait in the leaves-how great that is. We finally have real spring weather- and I hope it stays!!!! Have a great weekend. :)Erika
ReplyDeleteI'm not a big fan of the Beatles, as I'm sure I've mentioned before, but this song is one you simply do NOT get out of your head. I love that you lived on Penny Lane. I didn't even realize it was a real street until you mentioned it. It was a great way to memorialize the song and illustrate it, too.
ReplyDeleteI LOVE that first photo of the trees. It is so moody and perfectly colored, too. Hope you have a great Saturday and fun weekend.
Eine wundervolle Arbeit Valerie und die SOnnenaufgangsbilder sind so schön.. vom ersten bin ich total beeindruckt!
ReplyDeleteEinen schönen Samstag Liebes!
Brilliant Beatles page.
ReplyDeleteLove this piece! Brings back so many memories. Beautiful photos. Also love misty mornings. hugs, Donna
ReplyDeleteLove your Beatles page Valerie and you living on the corner of Penny Lane really makes it special.
ReplyDeleteGreat sunrise photos and I hope Mr Blackbird enjoyed his breakfast
Enjoy your weekend.

Beautiful sunrise photos, we actually had a fluttering of snow overnight but the sun is quickly melting it. One of my favourite Beatles songs, I'll be singing it all day now. Have a lovely weekend, hope your walking it a bit easier now. Xx
ReplyDeleteLove that song! Beautiful piece today. Your sunrise photos are so stunning!! I can't actually see the sun from where I am. I get a lot of pretty colours on the horizon but the sun rises behind a big stupid apartment building down the street! I am envious of your wonderful view! hugs and happy weekend!
ReplyDeleteBrilliant creation, love this song and images and gorgeous colours chosen. Hope you are enjoying your weekend.xx

This piece for AJJ is great, it fits the song perfectly! Great to see the green appearing your way too!
ReplyDeleteI've been watching the trees in font of my window for weeks, waiting for those first green leaves....
DeleteTo see the world through your eyes - how very special! Love this page and I really enjoyed the video. Valerie, your mind must race with ideas all the time!!

How cool. Both the piece and that you lived on Penny Lane. The photos are breathtaking. Is that a Miss Bluebird?
ReplyDeleteIt looks like a female blackbird.
DeleteMemories for me too Valerie of my college days! Great collage! I love today's photos! Hugs, Chrisx
ReplyDeleteWow, dort hast du sogar gewohnt, so nah am Geschehen ... da musstest du jetzt auch diese Seite machen!
ReplyDeleteSehr schön! ... die ganzen Songs aus dieser Zeit kann ich alle noch auswendig... Lieben Gruß von Ulrike
What a wonderful tribute to a music legend that brought so much to all of us around the world! Thanks for sharing :) Happy PPF!
ReplyDeleteTerrificBeatles page with personal input a huge plus. Your photos of the sun peeking through the mist are amazing. Enjoy what's left of your weekend.

Wonderful to see the sun rise gradually, you do have such a terrific view to show us without even leaving your flat. The bird looks like a blackbird but has lovely blue feathers?? I assume that is just the photographic effect?
ReplyDeleteNice image on Penny Lane, and no, I didn't have to listen to the music link to now have the music playing through my head.
The early morning light made her feathers look blue, rather nice really.
DeleteYes, I agree. Penny Lane is still playing in my head! And it's rather nice too.
DeleteWhat a wonderful, personal connection! It's a lovely piece! What a sweet bird in the photographs too.
ReplyDeleteYou lived on Penny Lane. How cool. What came first - the song or the street?
ReplyDeleteHugs,
Teresa
The street!
DeleteSo cool that you have a personal attachment to the song. Of course they all have an attachment to our youth ♥ Great page and love the photos. Have a great day or what's left of it for you :) Mine is just beginning.... rather early here too.
ReplyDeleteSuch a fun collage you created here of your memories. Thank you for taking us through nature's beauty too.
