Colourful

Hi Everybody!

Yesterday I had my last day at the clinic, so now I am
back home completely. The stay there really did me good,
and now I just need to get back into my 'normal' life -
whatever 'normal' is!

I did a series of prints from one of my linocuts made
many years ago, as I wanted to have one for each of the patients
and staff there. The prints are all A3 size. I am
linking to Gill's theme at Art Journal Journey, elegance and grunge.








And now I have more photos from the Gasometer
exhibition. Some of the photographers who contributed to the show
are  Ingo Arndt, James Balog, Bence Maté, Jürgen Freund,
Rob Kesseler, Solvin Zankl, Frans Lanting, Tim Laman,
Klaus Nigge, Lennert Nilsson, Ondrej Pakan, Anup Shah,
Christian Ziegler and Tim Flach - kudos!
























In the next post I will be showing you the world!
Have a great weekend, take care,
and thanks a lot for coming by!

  23. Congratulations on completing your rounds of clinic visits. I am hoping all did the trick and you are feeling much improved! I have to say that if I was one of your nurses, patients, etc., and you brought me one of those, I would burst into tears with its beauty and your kindness. That is such a lovely thing to do and I suspect that each recipient will cherish it for many moons to come.

    And the photos from the exhibit also take my breath away. Amazing.

    I am so happy for you.

  28. You did a fantastic job on those linocut prints. I was not just impressed, I was overwhelmed by your generosity. It is just like you to go the extra mile. Your thoughtfulness will surely be remembered and loved every time a recipient looks at their print.

    Please tell me what normal is, because I want to get back to it, too. I'm sure you will find your "normal" soon enough.

    Miss N was up to her antics again, I see. She really got into the exhibit. Many of these photos were much more enjoyable than the ones you shared yesterday. I especially liked the penguins. You took some fabulous photos of those photos.

    Forgot to mention how much I liked the street art from yesterday's post. Those children are born artists!

    The artwork is so intriguing. I love all the various ways nature is spotlighted. So many moments we don't get to see in our everyday lives. Thanks for sharing!
