Hi Everybody!
For Art Journal Journey, maps, I have another hybrid piece.
The Matisse ladies were fussy cut and placed on a splattered blue background. Then I overlayed it digitally with a vintage map (Wikipedia) and added the sentiment.

We had more storms here this afternoon. This morning when I took my walk I saw that the level of the water in the Rhine is still high, and has not yet started to recede:
The accordion player and a few other musicians always sit and play on Sundays and holidays:
And on Sunday there was a flea market. A lot of the shopkeepers joined in and sold off things from their shops at competitive prices, and a lot of private people also used the chance to clear out their unwanted junk treasures. It was strange to see so many people around on a Sunday.
On the way home I was able to admire the poppies in the fields:
Have a great day you all, take care,
and thanks a lot for coming by!
Another wonderful journal page, I like very much how you put this one together - really gorgeous! Great photos, too. Hope you are taking things easy! Hugs, Sarah
ReplyDeleteLovely Matisse inspired ladies. The flea market looks fun and the poppies pop with colour!
ReplyDeleteStunning and very effective!!
ReplyDeleteThat piece Matisse inspired piece is one of really impressive. That could be framed and put on the wall Valerie. And that boat looks like party central with the painting on it. Its actually quite pretty too. Did you buy anything at the flea market? It must have been fun to poke through the crowd. Hugs-Erika
ReplyDeleteI was truly impressed with these Matisse inspired ladies. The entire concept is wonderful and I loved the various layers you created.
ReplyDeleteThat flea market looked like it would be fun to just rifle through. I'm sure there are things that would appeal to lots of people, even though I doubt I would have purchased anything unless it was paper related.
I didn't buy anything but I do love looking at things!
DeleteInspired by seeing the art. Beautiful flowers. It would be nice to hear the musicians playing music while we walk. Sounds that you had a great time.
ReplyDeleteLovely Matisse piece .. you have such great ideas. Enjoyed the photos today -- so many people out and about - truly lovely. The Rhine certainly is high -- do hope your weather gets back to the old normal soon and stays there. hugs, Donna
ReplyDeleteWonderful page Valerie with the great Matisse shapes and the map showing through.
ReplyDeleteThe boat is wonderful made me want to book a trip as I love cruising down rivers. Hope the weather calms down for you soon
Love Chrissie xx

Love your Matisse ladies combined with the map overly. Another function at your little town, a flea market. I could get into serious trouble being tempted to find a treasure or fresh veggies each week. You do live in a very interesting location with lots to do and view. Thanks for the photos of the red poppies. Enjoy your day, Valerie.

The fussy cut Matisse lady silhouettes look fantastic with the map overlay. Great photos and the little market could be a treasure hunters delight.
