Hi Everybody!
We had sun all day today, and tomorrow shouldn't be too bad either, so I'm making the most of it. I went for three walks today, and enjoyed them enormously. I did a total of 15 kilometers, and treated myself to a bitter choc ice from the ice parlour on the way home this evening as a reward. And it was soooooooooo delicious!
For our challenge at Tag Tuesday, with Joan's lovely theme of gardening, I made another tag. The background and flowers were painted by me, and the text, patterning and bird (Mischief Circus) were added digitally. There is still lots of time to enter Joan's challenge, so hope to see some more people joining in:
The poppies were water-coloured:
I am linking to Paint Party Friday, hosted by Eva and Kristin
On Wednesday evening we went for a walk through Lantz'scher Park, and then through the fields and along the Rhine:
I am always intrigued by the ever changing clouds and the sun:
My walking buddy Harry:
This farm seems to be very ancient:
I loved the white horse:
Have a great day, take care,
and thanks a lot for coming by!
Gorgeous artwork Valerie. I really love your beautiful tulips and poppies. Glad to see you had a lovely time on your walk too and I have to say the surroundings look more interesting than where I walk!

ReplyDeleteYour poppies are absolutely glorious - what a wonderful painting, capturing their life and glow. And I love the bold red tulips on the tag too. Great post! Sorry I’ve been so absent – there’s a quieter period on the horizon (at least until the next last-minute gig bobs up to spoil it).
