Happy Everything

Hi Everybody!

I would like to wish all those celebrating this weekend a happy Passover
and /or a happy Easter:



The 2nd of the month is Elizabeth's 2nd on the 2nd where we re-show stuff from previous posts, so I will be linking to her blog when it's time. These pieces were both made in April 2015. The first is a mixed media using acrylics, brushos and a stencil from stencilry.org:






The 2nd piece is a semi-abstract piece, made by just pushing colours around, and with some birds and trees doodled in:






The weather here seems to be leaning towards spring with warm days still being interspersed with cold and wet ones:




Loved this crack in the wall:





Last week when we wandered along the Rhine, G broke off some twigs, which I placed in water. Now I have spring blossoms at home:





 Have a great weekend, take care,
and thanks a lot for coming by!

  9. My keyboard STILL isn't working properly. Happy Easter. Wanted you to know I stopped by, though. I don't remember your second on the 2nd post before, and HOPE my keyboard is more cooperative on that day.

  14. Frohe Ostern liebe Valerie!
    Diese Vintage Osterbilder sind sehr schön,mag ich sehr. Aber auch deine effektvollen Kreationen sind wieder sehr gelungen. Auf deinen Fotos hast du schon schön den Frühling eingefangen, besonders gefällt mir die Großaufnahme deiner Blüten Zuhause mit dem schönen Blau der Glas Objekte im Hintergrund.
    Heute ist es naß und kalt, aber wir hatten auch schon warme Tage, die wir für die ersten Gartenarbeiten nutzen konnten. Ja und im Garten da treibt das Grün und die ersten Blümchen.
    Liebe Grüße

  22. Great ideas on the pages and so colourful Valerie.

    Beautiful photographs with a hint of Spring though here it is cold, very wet and a forecast for snow so spring isn't springing yet.

    Fave photo today are the wonderful sprouting twigs against your amazing glass ornaments.

    Have a good day

    Love Chrissie xx

  31. I'm sorry I'm so late in commenting. But, oh well, better late than never!
    Your two art pages from some years ago are beautiful. I love the quote. I hadn't realised Albert Schweitzer had said that.
    Thank you for taking me on a walk to see all the new growth and yellow blossom/flowers etc. That crack in the wall is amazing.
    The flowering twig is gorgeous. (By the time you read this, it will have finished flowering I'm sure)Have a great weekend and CU on Tuesday,
    Lisca
