Hi Everybody!
It's weekend - enjoy!
For Art Journal Journey, I have a hybrid page. The hollyhocks were painted, digitally cut out and placed on a photo background.
The moon was bright:
The day started off well:
And some impressions from my walk:
The walnuts are growing nice and large:
Have a great weekend, take care,
and thanks a lot for coming by!

Wowow that is stunning art. I have said it before and here I go again. The photos you show make me want to come stay in that part of the world.
ReplyDeleteThat digital piece is really stunning. It was smart to put those hollyhocks on such a blue sky background. Talk about great contrast. :) have a great weekend Valerie. Hugs-Erika

Your hollyhocks stole the scene. You did a fantastic job, but traditionally and digitally putting this entry together. It is gorgeous.
ReplyDeleteI enjoyed your walk, and was amazed at the walnuts. That's a big WOW factor. Hope you are having a super weekend, dear.

Love your Hollyhocks page Valerie with the wonderful quote.
ReplyDeleteGreat walnut tree - and love that last photo with all the seats - that looks a lovely walk along the river.

Lovely post Valerie and nice to see the moon so bright and clear. Such a beautiful sunset as well and the wonderful walk along the Rhine that makes me think I have been there even though I haven't been nearer than Dusseldorf Airport.
ReplyDeleteThe page is amazing with the wonderful hollyhocks and comforting quote.
Have a lovely day
Hugs Chrissie xx
Die Stockrose hast du ganz toll gemalt, Valerie! Schönes Wochenende von Ulrike
ReplyDeleteAmazing pages and photos dear Valerie!
ReplyDeleteGorgeous!Happy Saturday!!
Pretty relaxing photos my friend and I just LOVE your gorgeous page.xx
ReplyDeleteI have no idea how one might go about doing a "hybrid" page. But your journal pages are always delightful. Love the Helen Keller quote and have read it many times before. Look! Those people enjoying the beach along the Rhine. Ahhhhh - summer!
ReplyDeleteBelieve it or not I am working on a journal page for AJJ. At this rate I will be lucky to do one a month! I am so new to so many techniques but really am enjoying the process. Hopefully will post by Monday!

I am soooooooooooooooo looking forward to seeing it!!
DeleteJust don't be too expectant okay - remember I am really a newbie at this.
DeleteLOVE the art...♥♥♥ Holly Hock always remind me of my grandmother she had them growing along the fence line around her vegetable garden. Lovely sunrise photos . I haven't been up early enough to enjoy the sunrise in a while... seemed to have messed up my sleeping patterns big time lately .
ReplyDeleteThe colours in your morning sky great camera to capture them. My shins are a bit better now thanks but it does not help that I insist on trying to walk as often as. Been a good week, love your hybrid page that hollyhock is so pretty your digital cutting is neat in all senses of the word as well. XOXO
ReplyDeleteThere certainly IS alot to be said about being content in the now.
ReplyDeleteLove how you cut those hollyhocks out digitally for your lovely collage.
I haven't a clue how that is done.
Hollyhocks are such pretty flowers.
The deer ate all of mine boohoohoo
Happy weekend to you oxo
You have painted the hollyhocks beautifully and they look stunning on your digital page, they really pop against the lovely blue background :-). The moon shot is stunning and I love the walnuts (never seen them growing before, amazing!). Have a lovely weekend! J :-)
ReplyDeleteBeautiful...Love your digital painting. It would make a fabulous card!! Great message!! Wonderful photos too...the walnut tree reminds me of childhood when we would try to open the walnuts with a rock...the meat inside just heavenly.
ReplyDeleteHugs Giggles
Beautiful hollyhocks. I'd love some in my garden. Lovely photos from your walk too!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful hybrid piece, those flowers are amazing! Looks like a painting! I've never seen a walnut tree before, had no idea they are green! So cool! hugs :)
ReplyDeleteIt is a painting, as i explained - just digitally cut out and placed over the photo!
DeleteI just love those Hollyhocks!! So beautiful and the pieces you design with them are so lovely!! hugs
