Hi Everybody!
I'm very happy that it's weekend, as I am really exhausted
after all of the therapies this week, and a bit of rest
will do me good.
For Yvonne's challenge 'Out and About' at
Art Journal Journey I have a hybrid page made by cutting
and combining 2 of my van Gogh paintings, with a photo of a horse
and a bird added:
I am also linking to Paint Party Friday
The tag was made some weeks back, and as it has now reached its
destination in Canada I can show it. I used various bits and bobs,
combined with da Vinci's Leda stamped and painted onto
a coffee pod paper. I sewed the tag onto cardboard and then onto
some brown burlap sent to me some time back by dear
Nature is springing even if the weather isn't
playing the game:
Have a great weekend, take care,
and thanks a lot for coming by!
What a wonderful post. Love the Vincent piece, and the tag is fantastic. Great photos, too. F/M was ghastly, it rained non stop, and A fell down the stairs and hurt his knee!
ReplyDeleteHave a good rest at the weekend, we can talk on Sunday. Hugs, Sarah
I love that tag! It's really wonderful and the colour scheme is super!
ReplyDeleteI'm very jealous of your flower blooming photos. I wish we had such glorious weather. right now it's snowing and we're expecting quite the snow dump tonight. Thanks for sharing your spring with us late bloomers :)
All those who like Vincent, shout 'ear! 'ear!
ReplyDeleteLove your tag Valerie and your Van Gogh paintings are fantastic!!! The bird and the horse are great additions!!!
ReplyDeleteYour photos should be in an exhibit...GORGEOUS!!!
Happy PPF dear Valerie

The colors in your Vincent piece are so beautiful. The images mix so well together. :)
ReplyDeleteGreat tag, too! The browns (and other colors) are so interesting together!
Love your pictures of spring popping out. We are in the middle of snow coming down now. Hope spring weather comes back soon! Have a great weekend!

Hi Valerie. What a fabulous face in your Van Gogh work, extremely expressive and your tag is wonderful too. Lots of lovely textures to see. All you pictures are so Stunning and the old building looks very interesting too. Enjoy your Weekend. Hugs Rita xxx
ReplyDeleteOh WOW! Two more master pieces! Van Gogh is on my list of favorite "old masters" so I adore the journal page.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful signs of spring!
Großartige Mal-Arbeiten und wunderschöne Naturbilder.
ReplyDeleteLiebe Grüße
I hope you can relax now and enjoy your weekend
ReplyDeleteI bet you and Vincent would have enjoyed a walk together around your beautiful area.
The tag is wonderful with a great combination of lots of materials and textures.
What beautiful photographs and I love the little grape hyacinths in the pot they usually get lost among all the other stuff in our garden so I may dig them out and put them in a pot.
Time for you to unwind so enjoy your weekend
Love Chrissie xx
Hoping you get to have a relaxing weekend! Vincent looks happy with his surroundings! I adore your tag and it is sure to be giving your friend some joy! We had a lovely walk this morning and glad we did as it is now raining again! Your photos are showing wonderful signs of a promise of Spring! We saw some wonderful camellias in flower! Take care! Hugs, Chrisx

Fabulous artwork on your page and lovely tag Valerie.

Fantastic texture and detail on your tag (love the close up photos).
Looking more spring like every day - lovely flowers and scenery.

Oh my, I adore Vincent, glorious color!!!
ReplyDeleteAlso I like the sweet tag.Lovely work!
I enjoyed "walking" with you this morning!
Enjoy your weekend!
I love love love this tag and quite enjoyed this little tour. Thanks! Hugs, Autumn
ReplyDeleteI love your references to Van Gogh and Da Vinci. I can see that Van Gogh might have a bird land on his hat while out painting! I am sure all the animals in the area got used to seeing him every day! have a good week.
ReplyDeleteI love the colourful van Gogh piece! And the art tag Is a beauty! 2 of my fave past artists featured there.
ReplyDeleteLove the journal page Valerie, and a wonderful tag, full of interesting textures.
ReplyDeleteLove the spring flower photos, the blossom on the trees is just beginning to open her in the NE.
Have a lovely and relaxing weekend.

Adorable page, beautiful tag and fantastic photos. Thank you for joining Yvonne's theme once more, happy weekend, Susi
ReplyDeleteLove the Van Gogh, and the tag is just gorgeous Valerie! Love seeing Spring beginning to emerge and oh how I would love to explore that grand stone structure!
ReplyDeleteI have a soft spot for Vincent Van Gogh, I think your piece is very sweet... The tag is gorgeous, I love it! Your photos are beautiful too, I hope you have some time to rest.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful page and tags. Stunning spring flowers too!
ReplyDeleteLuv your Van Gogh collage
ReplyDeleteHappy ppf
much love...
Cold and very windy here but the flowers (and pollen) are out in abundance. Your van Gogh piece is wonderful. Love the birds and horse added.
ReplyDeleteIts a fantastic journal page , love the way you have perched the bird on Vincent's straw hat. The tag is also a wonderful piece, so many layers and details, I have spent ages looking at it.
ReplyDeleteThe spring flowers look so pretty, super photos.
I hope you have a good relaxing weekend Valerie, you deserve one after your busy week with the hospital visits.
Yvonne xx
Hello Valerie, I do love your Vincent artwork, how it all comes together in your unique style!
ReplyDeleteSuch a gorgeous tag too - with the basis of coffee paper and burlap... looks stunning!
Beautiful pictures of Spring flowers, buds and blossoms. I can also just see some pretty begonias by that sweet pot of bulbs... I once had some and they were called "eyelash begonias" (I should have kept them indoors).
Take it easy and rest up, one week of therapy over and done with - well done, and hugs :D) Happy PPF!
Wonderful art. It looks like spring is hitting your way. Please get some rest and take life easy.
ReplyDeleteI adore your painted Vincent. He looks like one I have in a book I have of his works. This is wonderful.
ReplyDeleteAs if Vincent wasn't enough, you have honored da Vinci, too. I like Lida. I think I even have that stamp. It was gifted to me years ago, but my favorite is the Vitruvian Man, and that stamp I KNOW I have. A friend gave it to me because she knew I liked the scientific aspect of it. It's a great tag with lots of beautiful layers. I know the recipient is happy with it.
The flowers are really growing in your area and everything is ablaze with color, except the Ruins, of course, where rust abounds. Hope you get some rest this weekend and can take it easy before Monday rolls round.
Total klasse dein Van Goch Bild und die Tiere machen es perfekt. Das Tag in diesen schönen warmen Kaffeefarben gefällt mir sehr. Die Leonardomotive passen sehr gut dazu. Wie man auf deinen schönen Fotos sehen kann, sprießen die Blüten auch bei Regen und Kälte. Hier ist es seit gestern kalt aber sonnig. Heute Morgen hat mich die Sonne geweckt.
ReplyDeleteLiebe Grüße und ein schönes Wochenende.
Hugs
Sabine
Das Van Goch Bild ist fantastsich geworden!
ReplyDeleteDer Tag gefällt mir sehr in der Farbengebung und Zusammenstellung!
Wie schön die Frühlingsblüten überall zu sehen ein Farbentupfer in der Natur endlich!
Schönes Wochenende wünsche ich dir!

ReplyDeleteWhich is my favorite make? The tag!! But I am knocked over by your ability to paint like Vincent!!
