More of Nature's wonders

Hi Everybody!

Nature's wonders is Gill's lovely theme at AJJ this month, where Gill is doing a great job as hostess. For my hybrid piece today I started with a painting made a couple of years back, using acrylics and pastel chalks. I painted the view from my balcony on a night where the moon hung huge and low and low in the sky (4th picture). I used a mask to make a frame, added the stars, clouds and angels from Mischief Circus, and the quote from Buddha.
I am also liking to Paint Party Friday, hosted as always by Eva and Kristin, and Moo Mania and More, moon:

The cow was painted from a photo taken last year, and then given a filter and mask to jazz it up a bit. I love watching the cows, they have such beautiful eyes, and they are really natural wonders:

And I have another cat doodle:

We had mixed weather this week - some sunshine, some rain, and cool enough to really enjoy walking:

I enjoyed my walk to a neighbouring village:

I walked through the park after passing the beautiful gates:

This holly tree was full of blackberries - another natural wonder?

I loved the flowers in the hedges:

And this strange fungus was growing out of the side of a dead tree - eek, it has a face in the middle! Can you see it? And there's a profile of a bearded man on the left! Can you find more?

Have a great day you all, take care,

and thanks a lot for coming by!
