A candle in the dark

Hi Everybody!
It's weekend, enjoy!

For Art Journal Journey, light and darkness,
I made another hybrid piece combining a mixed media background with a candle photo and a quote of Mahatma Gandhi. I love being able to combine
art and photos:




We had a wonderful sunrise again, and then the sun
disappeared behind the clouds:



 On my last visit to the Kunstpalast museum I spent time viewing 
the works of modern artists, including  Gotz, 
Wassily Kandinsky, Oskar Schlemmer, Yaakov Agam,
 Günther Haese and others.















I am enjoying my repeated visits to the museum, 
visiting one room at a time.

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

  5. I LOVE how you used hat beautiful background with your photo. They really work together! And the background really makes the candle photo pop. And you did see some great modern pieces. I always find modern art interesting but not sure I get it all. Me being to literal and logical I guess. Glad you shared your photos though. Happy weekend. Hugs-Erika

  7. Your candle in the dark is amazing. I like the background, the Gandhi quote and the candle. It's gorgeous.

    Of course, I was really in love with the paintings. I want to be able to make art like that! Those were out of this world. I recognized the Kandinsky because his work is SO notable, colorful, and often includes geometric shapes.

    I also recognized a couple of Schlemmer's works (mainly in the background). I was mesmerized and took a long time viewing each piece. Thank you for showing these wonderful pieces today.

  8. The page is wonderful with a standout flame image and great quote. I like the blue drips a lot.

    Beautiful sky and such a shame that the sun didn't stay for you to see and feel it--same here as well.

    More terrific artwork you have seen and all with a tale to tell I'm sure. I recall seeing something similar to the one with the white dots in an exhibition in Liverpool. I said out loud that it didn't make sense to me and a helpful curator came and told me all about it. I have been careful what I say in galleries since then.

    Thank you so much for sharing the things you see Valerie

    Have a good day

    Love Chrissie xx

  11. Love your candle piece Valerie, and your sky photos are brilliant, wow!! I guess I'm a bit more traditional when it comes to art. Although I can appreciate the creativity, I still enjoy a good old fashioned painting of a waterfalls or mountains. lol

  15. The candle really stands out on your lovely journal page, fabulous backkgrounds for it and quote. Loved the photos the colours in the sky looked amazing.
    Super photos of the modern art pieces, not sure it is my thing, a bit too modern, but you cannot help but admire the creativity of the artists.

  18. WOW! Such a gorgeous AJJ page! and a new header too!??
    If our sun rise looked like yours, I'd never get anything done, because I would be out doors looking at it.
    Modern art is fascinating, and no I don't get most of it either.....but I like to look at it. I would say there are many people in the world that would say the same thing about our mixed media art......after all it is modern art too.

  20. Ooh, that sunrise photo is lovely. Great photographs of the artwork in the museum, also. Happy PPF. :)

  21. These photographs of the museum art have given me so many ideas. I was especially taken with the dots that are coming off the canvas (as seen in the sideways view), but much of this modern art is so inspiring. I always enjoy your museum visits but this one seems extra special somehow.
    Your own art with the combination of your candle photo and your art is also very special.

  22. Gorgeous sumptuous artwork Valerie, I could almost feel the warmth of that beautiful candle. I always find candles mesmerising and relaxing.
    I don't know much about modern artists but the photos you have shared are quite fabulous and intriguing.
