Stormy weather

Hi Everybody!

For Art Journal Journey I have a hybrid piece. The background was painted, distressed and collaged. The 'graffiti' quote was stamped onto a gelli print and added together with the other images, and the chalked quote was added digitally:




I have stayed home over the weekend, but the sky and clouds
were worth taking photos of, and I much enjoyed watching the
ever changing heavens on Saturday evening:







And early Sunday morning:






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

  4. Your painted, distressed and collaged background is fantastic, I love the grunge effect you have created! In contrast your skies have a heavenly feel to them - the blue skies with the white and black clouds are stunning! Wishing you a great week! J :-)

  6. I have never been any good with graffiti, so I really enjoyed this spread. As always, I loved the clever way you covered the face.

    Your sky photos appear so moody. They are definitely enjoyable to watch.

    Glad to read you stayed home this weekend, so I hope you feel better soon. Have a great Monday, dear.

  13. Your art journal piece reminds me of a recent trip to Northern Ireland and the Peace Wall. Your work is very emotive. I also love your cloud photographs. It has been so wet today it’s been difficult to see the sky so this was a real treat, thank you.
