Drips, splatters and autumn colours

Hi Everybody!

Today we are beginning a new challenge at

-Drips and splatters-

As always, you have 2 weeks time to get inspired.
Projects of all formats are welcome,
so let those creative juices drip and get splattering!

I made a hybrid piece, using a painted  and dripped background with some digital extras. It is also meant for Art Journal Journey, Indian Summer:




This is the original background:


Our theme at Tag Tuesday - also chosen by me - just happened to be
autumn colours, too - what a coincidence!


It has got colder here, and feels more like autumn but we are still enjoying blue skies and lovely mornings:


The row of little 'moons' are the lights at the airport:




The Rhine is very low just now, and the wild geese are spending a lot of time
there:





These photos were taken last week in the 'Altstadt' of Düsseldorf:



This tower is the last remnant of Jan Wellem's palace, now 
a museum for ships:



 One of the restaurants along the Rhine:


This is a clock which shows the amount of water in the Rhine as well as the time:


Here it's showing 1 meter 20, which is extremely low:


Have a great day, take care,
and thanks a lot for coming by!

  8. I can't wait to try a few drips and splatters. The fact that you combined them with your autumn colors was the perfect combination.

    That tag is wonderful. I love the pumpkin. And of course, all those wonderful photos you shared today are awesome. I love those weather vanes on the tops of the buildings. I've never seen anything like that clock that tells time and water levels. That's really a masterful piece of engineering.

  9. Liebe Valerie,
    was für eine Farbenpracht - passend für
    den Herbst. Allein der Hintergrund ist schon
    super, aber wie du diesen Farbkleks so plastisch
    zu Papier gebracht hast, einfach toll.
    Schönen Tag für dich.
    LG Sadie

  12. Drips and spatters are the story of my paintings ;)

    Lovely photographs as usual;I really enjoyed the views.

    Neap tides usually fall around the quarter-moon - not a time to be up river and hoping to get home for tea: up to your gunwales in mud.

  15. That's great splatter on your piece today. Its pretty intense., and I like your piece. More great photos too. The steeples are really pretty too. I still can't get over how pretty it is there. I don't know what I thought, but maybe that it would feel more like a big city. I am sure there are parts where it is full of skyscapers. Hope all is well. Hugs-Erika

  17. Gorgeous art Valerie - love the new Moo Mania theme now too.
    Lovely pictures of the Geese, but it looks more like winter than autumn.
    Great photos of 'Altstadt' of Düsseldorf' - I especially like the second clock (Art Nouveau-ish?).... so many clocks around - so no excuse to be late for anything.
    have a great day........ Gill xx
