It's weekend

Hi Everybody!

Here's wishing you all a happy weekend. It's scorching hot, so I will be going out early for my walk. I made a quick journal page using stencils and my hand-carved stamps over a brush-wipe page. I added more colour with pencils. The frame and quote were added digitally:





The pictures were taken last weekend on my Sunday walk. This is the end of our road:



I enjoyed walking through the fields to the Rhine:

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

  1. Your Africa journal page is fabulous. I also like the Nelson Mandela quote.

    Everywhere you walk, there are flowers. You truly live in a very beautiful, flower filled area. I was in awe of your photos of the glorious fields that even had poppies in them. Such beauty.

    Try to stay cool, dear.
