Hi Everybody!
It's weekend - enjoy!
For Paint Party Friday and Art Journal Journey, elegance and grunge.
I have an A3 mixed media piece, using an image cut from
a magazine. I used a quote from Harry Potter and the Order
of the Phoenix, 'We've all got both light and dark inside us. What
matters is the part we chose to act on. That's who we
really are.'
And I have some more pictures from the Japanese
Culture Centre and Eko House:
In the beautiful Buddhist Temple:
Have a great day, take care,
and thanks a lot for coming by!

Great post, Valerie. Your header banner is breathtaing! Love your electric looking mixed media piece. And the peacock screen at the Japanese place is so gorgeous.
ReplyDeleteLove the words you've used for your project, the colours within are really good together.
ReplyDeleteI have so enjoyed your photographs both here and on earlier post about the Japanese Garden. It is a stunning place to visit and I have really enjoyed your series of photographs.
Thank you.

That's an amazing art piece Valerie. I love the head-it makes such a moving image. I am also enjoying the Japanese images. My school does an annual trip to Japan as we have a sister city there and I so wanted to go this year, but it just wasn't good timing with surgery. So its fun to see these. Hope all is well with you. I am feeling a little better every day. Hugs-Erika
ReplyDeleteBeautifully put together piece, and yes, that quote is so true!! Love the Japanese place, it reminds me so much of when we were in Japan.
ReplyDeleteHave a great weekend! Hugs
So much nice to see here. A bright idea you got with your digital art work!

ReplyDeleteI have been a fan of anything Asian, thank you for your pictures (again)
I enjoyed that image you picked for your light and darkness page. It fit the quote perfectly.
ReplyDeleteI SO enjoyed the photos of the Eko House and Japanese Culture Center. The outside was gorgeous. I wish I knew what kind of tree/vine that was with the purple flowers. It was unbelievably beautiful. i also enjoyed the inside areas, too. Such beauty everywhere you look. Thanks for taking these incredible photos.
It's a wisteria!
DeleteCool artwork Valerie - although I hope that poor man hasn't too much of a headache! Nice quote from Harry potter too.
ReplyDeleteLoved seeing more of the Japanese garden etc - that Wisteria is beautiful and what a great twisted trunk.
Hope you have a lovely weekend... Gill xx
