Hi Everybody!
Today I am sharing a mixed media canvas. The background
was covered with scraps of Hebrew text and then
given a coat of blue paint. I added some bits of rusty
metal picked up by the Rhine. Then I added some
golden stars and Hebrew alphas in gold. The
piece in the centre is a model of an old synagoge
in Milan. I am linking to Paint Party Friday,
hosted by Eva and Kristin, and to Simon Monday
Challenge, winter blues
I have enjoyed watching the buds open on my new
orchid plant:
Have a great day, take care,
and thanks a lot for coming by!
Hi Val, I love your blue piece, it's beautiful. Your orchid photos are wonderful, you can see every detail. Have a nice day, look after yourself. I will ring you tomorrow when P goes away. Hugs, Sarah

loved the unusual theme to the creation, any reason for the Jewish flavour? Doesn't have to be a reason, naturally; just curious.

That is a cool mixed media piece. I like the rust. It gives it some interesting texture and symbolism. And that is a cool piece of the Milanese synagogue. It really makes it eye catching. And your orchid is quite beautiful. that should be fun to watch and see how it grows. Hope you are feeling on the improve. :) And Happy Friday. Hugs-Erika

ReplyDeleteWow you are just amazing. The art and the photos beautiful.
ReplyDeleteThe blue in your mixed media piece reminds me of a river, so the piece seems to symbolize the resilience of the Jewish faith through time. Very interesting and thought-provoking piece!
