From the middle ages to modern times

Hi everybody!

We are still enjoying sunny days here, although it is much

cooler and really feels like Autumn.

For Art Journal Journey, Indian Summer, and for Paint Party Friday,

hosted by Eva and Kristin, I have a mixed media-hybrid piece. The background was painted, stamped  and sprinkled with brushos. The head was cut from water-coloured, brusho-ed and dripped paper. I put them together digitally, adding some more digital elements and photos. I am also linking to Moo Mania and More drips and splatters.

The photos are from my recent trip to Neuss. This is the 'Obertor', the second of the  town gates from the middle ages. On the right hand side there is a bridge across the road, connecting the tower with the Clemens-Sels-Museum on the other side.

Inside the museum there are collections from the stone age, the middle ages, the Romans, and a good selection of modern art, among other things - here I am showing just a few of my faves:

From the second floor of the museum you can cross to the tower, using the bridge. I took the photo from there, through the window, hence the reflections:

Then you go up and up the spiral staircase:

There is a great view of the old water tower:

And you can look down onto the tram lines of the modern town - it was fun to be standing in the middle ages and looking out:

There are still more photos, but I will keep them for another time.

Have  great day, take care, 

and thanks a lot for coming by!
