Hi Everybody!
It's another extremely cold and frosty day today, and we have Siberian winds blowing even more cold in our direction, so the next days will continue to be frosty. The sun is shining, which makes for a good atmosphere in spite of the cold. And the spring flowers are starting to spring in spite of the icy temps.
Today I am sharing another A3 doodle made when I was at my group, I can chat with the others while doodling. The verse I have written around the tree is from Ogden Nash. I am linking to Paint Party Friday, hosted as always by Eva and Kristin
This is an older piece I found in one of my many files, it just reminded me of spring, for which I am so longing.
It's lovely to see the sun rising over the frosty fields each morning:
We have blue skies:
The banks in the castle grounds are covered with snowdrops, crocuses and sprouting daffodils:
And I just love the name of this ship:
Have a great day, take care,
and thanks a lot for coming by!
I do so love your doodle tree. I love to doodle everywhere and anywhere. It keeps me sane.
ReplyDeleteHappy PPF
This is true, it keeps sane and improves the concentration.
DeleteYour doodle tree is so fun. Love the fairies as I'm longing for warmer weather, too. So nice to see green grass and pretty flowers. That won't happen for another couple of months here. It snowed last night so enjoy the sunshine for me
ReplyDeleteHi Val, love your beautiful doodle tree. I couldn't do that and talk at the same time, that's for sure. Love the dancing nymphs, too.It's really cold here as well. We are off to my sister now, I 'll be back tomorrow evening. Hugs, Sarah
ReplyDeleteIt is a wonderful doodle tree, did you set off with a tree in mind or did it just evolve. The result looks fantastic and you have added a great quote.
ReplyDeleteThe other page looks beautiful and has a lovely spring feeling. I think we are all wishing that winter was on its way and spring would be here.
Lovely photos Valerie and the name of the boat made me smile.

I wanted to do a tree but didn't know how it would end up.
DeleteBeautiful art, inspiring poetry and gorgeous pictures, a veritable feast for the eyes!
ReplyDeleteYour doodle is amazing. I like your spring piece, surprised to hear of the cold I thought spring was well underway there.
ReplyDeleteWhat fun pieces! Both so happy! And look at those spring flowers. Oh, it's coming for you, isn't it?!
ReplyDeleteHello dear Valerie!
ReplyDeleteYour doodle tree is so beautiful!
And your Spring piece so preety and joyful!
Wonderful pictures of the castle ,the gorgeous sunrise and the Spring blooms!
Wishing you a lovely weekend!Hugs!

The weather has been so volatile with cold and warmth this winter worldwide, it seems. Hoping for spring soon too. I love the Ogden Nash poetry and you have done wonders using it for your artwork this week.
ReplyDeleteI love trees and doodling, so I love your artwork.
ReplyDeleteAlthough spring looks like it's coming to call... it's freezing here today too and apparently next week is going to be much colder! Brrr!
Happy PPF to you :D (stay cosy)
I'm not looking forward to it at all, looks like Europe will be freezing.
Deletei think most of us in the Northern Hemisphere are longing for Spring...
ReplyDeletefun doodle tree. Love your joyful fairies! Your lovely photos are showing some signs that spring can't be far behind :)
Doodle tree and Castles! Doesn't get any better!

ReplyDeleteSame here. It was so bad by the Rhine that I couldn't get away quickly enough.
DeleteYour doodling is amazing-I love your tree.
ReplyDeletewow there is allot of green by you despite the cold temps. we have warmed up here a bit but getting so much rain-more then the ground can absorb right now-so there will be lots of flooding in my area.
always enjoy your lovely photos Happy weekend Kathy
Valerie your doodle tree is awesome!! I love this design!! Your artwork is beautiful- so happy you shared these! Brrrrr that frost sure is not appealing! Almost as bad as our snow! heehee
ReplyDeletehugs!
Love your doodle and the painting you found that reminds you of spring. I am longing for spring too. I got a taste of it two days last week- but now it is cold again. Looks like spring is popping up all over the place over there! :)
ReplyDeleteHave a great weekend!

Love that doodle tree. The green you've used is super. That painting you found is wonderful, reminds me of fairies dancing around at the bottom of the garden.
ReplyDeleteOhhhh I love this tree. So whimsical and fun. Your dancers are fabulous as well. The movement is great.

Doodles with a message. I love it.
ReplyDeleteSpring is indeed on the way.

How in the world did I miss this post? I can't believe I did that. I am glad I'm not the only late visitor. I adore both your pages you shared, because they are both so different. I also loved seeing the snowdrops, which we don't get here. Thanks for sharing and I'm SO SORRY I missed this post.
ReplyDeleteI hope you're keeping warm! I love the name of that ship too! LOL!
ReplyDeleteGorgeous pieces of art! Very pretty! Makes me think of Spring too!
Your photos are so beautiful!! Big Hugs!
I love your doodled tree and your second piece reminds me of spring too, both are beautiful. After all the snow we’ve had today spring still seems a long time away,
