Hi Everybody!
Happy Thanksgiving
to all friends in the USA!
Thanks to all who sent well wishes these past days.
I am still not feeling great, but things do seem to be improving, so
that's really good.
For Art Journal Journey - Susi's collage challenge, and Paint Party Friday
I have a mixed media/hybrid piece. The Matisse ladies are made with templates I cut years back, it was fiddly work but as I can use them again and again, it was worth it- I combined two hand painted backgrounds with a mask digitally, and then added my ladies, cut from DP which has flowers, but no leaves. And the ladies have no faces. The quote is from Matisse.
We have had more wonderful morning skies this week:
And here some more photos from the modern section of the
glass exhibition at the Kunstpalast (art palace museum)
And I still have more photos for next time!
Have a great day, take care
and thanks a lot for coming by!
Love your art, as always, the Matisse piece is fantastic, and the photos are wonderful. I want to visit that glass museum! We're flying home tomorrow, pG, hugs, Sarah
ReplyDeleteEine tolle Seite mit den Matisse Ladies - schöne Farben-- Dein Thanksgiving Gruß ist sehr schön und ganz herrliche Aufnahmen vom Himmel ganz zu schweigen von den tollen Exponaten wieder!

Baldige Besserung!
Liebe Grüße

I don't know which I love most -- the fabulous sky lights or the wonderful art -- you are doing some fun and very nice things with the silhouette form!
ReplyDeleteHave a lovely day!
That glass is just fascinating!
ReplyDeleteWhat a wonderful sunrise to start your day with.
Thanks for the Thanksgiving wishes.
Hugs,
Beautiful piece for PPF! That is a gorgeous sunrise. Thanks for sharing the beautiful glass art as well. Glad you are feeling a tad better.
ReplyDeleteWunderschönes Morgenrot - wenn man es malte, würde jeder sagen, die Farben sind nicht echt :) Die Mühe des Ausschneidens dieser Matisse-Schablonen hat sich wirklich gelohnt - das Bild sieht wunderschön aus! Und der Thanksgiving-Gruß hat eine tolle Farbkombination - das Rot-Orange mit dem Schwarz-Weiss!

ReplyDeleteSorry to hear you have been unwell, all the best for a very speedy recovery! Your Thanksgiving piece is very lovely, it makes me think of Hansel and Gretel. I really love your Matisse ladies, such style and spontaneity, this piece feels so natural, beautiful work!

ReplyDeleteBeautiful mixed media/hybrid artwork. So fabulous. Gorgeous photos of the sunrise. It seems to hold a promise of good things, doesn't it? I hope your Thanksgiving was wonderful! Happy PPF!
ReplyDeleteHi Valerie, glad to read that you are starting to feel better :) Your art is gorgeous, I love the ladies. there is always so much to see here, the sunrises are so beautiful and so is the glass art. I especially love the steer (or whatever animal), amazing! I also love glass and used to collect old bottles etc, but eventually got tired of dusting it all. Still have a few favorite things. Take good care Hugs, xxx
ReplyDeleteI simply adore your hybrid Matisse ladies. Fiddly is an understatement. You did a fantastic job of cutting them out.
ReplyDeleteI was especially impressed with this set of glassware and art from the museum. In particular, I enjoyed the first two you showed.
Glad you are feeling marginally better, and hope you get well soon. Thanks for the wonderful Thanksgiving wishes, too.
