Flowers, birds and ducks

Hi Everybody!

For Art Journal Journey, Gill's theme of 'Nature's wonders', I have a hybrid piece put together from 2 different paintings - a background and a flower painting which did not turn out very well. I digitally removed the flowers - they were supposed to be hollyhocks - from the background,added a filter which made them look much nicer, and the quote.

I am also linking to Paint Party Friday, hosted as always by Eva and Kristin.

And I have another doodle from my doodle journal, 

showing the 8 crested, long legged worm-catcher, followed by the 

crocodile toothed moose, who acts as his bodyguard

Today I met some living wonders of nature - a Mother Duck with 7 ducklings on the path by the castle ruins. It was almost impossible to get photos of the little ones as they would not stand still:

They were fascinated by my sneakers:

Have a great day, take care,

and thanks a lot for coming by!
