Hi Everybody!
Hope you day was good. Here it was mild and rainy, and I enjoyed walking along the Rhine in the soft rain, and watching the antics of the sheep grazing there.
Today it's Elizabeth's 2nd on the 2nd, where we re-show art which has been posted some time in the past. I have some pieces from 2016, made at about this time of year and with an autumnal theme. They were all hybrid pieces, made with hand-painted backgrounds and photos with some additional digital elements.
The lady represents the spirit of autumn smiling down at nature:
The idea here was similar:
Here I used one of 'my' heads with bird photos:
I went walking along the Rhine and saw these adorable sheep and lambs playing:
The video is just 15 seconds:
These pics were taken on Monday in Hofgarten:
If you haven't already done so, please take a peek at my previous post about Sandra's new book
Have a great day, take care,
and thanks a lot for coming by!
Hi Valerie i love your beautiful art work and wow what beautiful views you see on your walk,hope your day is a good one my friend xx
ReplyDeleteBeautiful Autumn artwork. I'm glad you chose that as your Second on the 2nd post. (And seeing your post reminded me I need to figure out something to do for this.) I like your photos from the park, especially the ones of the Black Swans.
ReplyDeleteThanks. They are fascinating to watch!
DeleteHi Valerie, I love your second look as I don't remember seeing this one before-it is beautiful-I love the sheep thanks so much for the video too
ReplyDeletestill in the 90s here today one more tomorrow before the temperatures crashes down about 40 degrees or more Happy second on the 2nd Kathy
Your art is very creative, Valerie, and I especially appreciate the bird theme throughout this whole post. The lambs are darn cute too!
ReplyDeleteThanks David! I love the birds, and especially those who visit my balcony every day. The lambs were so sweet to watch yesterday.
DeleteStunning and love that video and all the wonderful nature and artistic creativity.xx
ReplyDeleteSuch amazing pieces! Loved your photos a well.
ReplyDeleteI'm really certain I have seen the first one with the woman on the bench, and the last one with the head and birds, but I don't remember the middle one. They are all lovely, and definitely remind me of autumn. They are all so beautiful and show how skilled and talented you are. Thanks for sharing these with us as your second look on the 2nd.
ReplyDeleteThose lambs were sure frisky! But you know the black swans steal my heart every time I see one. They are SO different and I love it when you visit Hofgarten and photograph them.
I forgot to ask. How is your back?
ReplyDeleteThanks for asking - bad just now, very painful! Got injections, need to go back to the doc's next week.
DeleteI love the sheep, too, and those little, black lambs really stole my heart!
ReplyDeleteWonderful autumnal projects and I loved your photos and the video of the frisky lambs.
ReplyDeletexxx Hazel.
Oh these are great to see Valerie. They really celebrate autumn in a great way. I like how you added the girl on the bench so your drawn face is almost like an autumn nymph causing our seasons to change. I really enjoyed all the animal photos too. Happy playful sheep made me smile. Enjoy your Wednesday. Hugs-Erika
ReplyDeleteYour artwork is lovely, as always, but I especially like the autumn fantasy one. Right now, that's all autumn is here... a fantasy. We're still breaking records for high temperatures. It was 95 degrees yesterday, and it's supposed to be even hotter today. But cooler weather is finally supposed to be headed our way next week. I'm ready! (Do you think a celebratory parade would be a tad too much...?)
ReplyDeleteHave a wonderful week, dear lady.
Celebrate and have a parade, great idea! Hope your cool down comes as promised!
DeleteI so enjoyed your video, I get the same feeling when I see my neighbour's little kids bouncing around outside when they get home from school. Beautiful art.
ReplyDeleteThanks, it was really just like watching the kids when they come hopping and jumping out of school!
DeleteI like the Spirit of Autumn looking at the robin on the pumpkin. That would make a fabulous seasonal or birthday card. The lambies are so cute and I enjoyed the little video. Enjoy your day!
ReplyDeleteThanks. Those lambies were really sweet.
DeleteI love the autumn pieces especially Autumn Fantasy, though they all appeal. And you've gotta love a book reader:) Those little black lambs are darling.
ReplyDeleteThanks for another mention:)
Your art today is especially beautiful. I love them both. And then you show me sheep? I adore sheep! This could be my very favorite post of the day!
ReplyDeleteI would pribt the first one and maje it big and then put it on my wall, so pretty!☺
ReplyDeleteSuch a happy post! LOVE your art pieces!! Truly beautiful! LOVE the baby lambs! So cute! Love the video! Big Hugs!
ReplyDeleteWowww Your Art pages are so so Gorgeous Valerie !! Love the backgrounds you have created, the colours are really wonderful, love the faces, specially those with the tree inside, and love the little birds. Autumn is a great season, here 33º C today, uff so hot!
ReplyDeleteThanks so much for sharing those lovely photographs from your walsk, and the video is super tender!
I wish you a very nice Thursday, and send big hugss

I do like your art pieces, wonderful Autumn colour in them.
ReplyDeleteEnjoyed seeing both your photographs and your video.
Happy Wednesday Wishes.
All the best Jan
Hello Val! There's nothing new on my blog today. I enjoyed your walking! I also liked your art a lot. So warm! I have a soft spot for hedgehogs but I have never seen one. That last post you saw on my blog it's a game. I will translate it for you because it's one you can play here with your visitors and it will be fun! I mean, if you want too! Just give me some time!
ReplyDeleteThanks. If you have time to translate it it would be great. But only when you have time, no stress!
DeleteWhat beautiful Autumnal pieces Valerie, definitely worth a second look. Those lambs do seem to be having fun. We had to put the heating on today, Neil is not a happy bunny but it's him that was feeling the cold. I'm at that age where I never feel the cold lol. Take care, Sue xx
ReplyDeleteHello again Valerie,
ReplyDeleteI've just been at Elizabeth's blog and am so sorry to read about your bad back.
Hope the injections help with the pain and it gets better really soon.
Sending positive and healing thoughts to you.
All the best Jan
Thanks so much Jan. Your good wishes are much appreciated.
DeleteWonderful art and I love your Autumn photos Valerie!
ReplyDeleteToday was a fine day here and I got all of my holiday washing done :-)

Fabulous Autumnal artwork today Valerie and I enjoyed looking at the little lambs playing in the field, obviously enjoying the cooler weather.
ReplyDeleteAvril xx
Beautiful art projects! I thoroughly enjoyed your short little video. It made me smile. Happy rest of the week.
ReplyDeleteAwesome art projects and beautiful shots. I just thought to myself that I would like to live next to the Rhine!
ReplyDeleteI enjoy your photography and got a kick out of the frolicking goats :)
ReplyDeleteAnother wonderful post, beautiful art work and those baby sheep are so cute to watch.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful art recalls Valerie. I love all the colours you've combined.
ReplyDeleteThe video was so full of cuteness - the lambs are gorgeous :D)
Glorious autumn pages - so rich in colour and imagery - and well worth a second visit. The lambs are adorable... I always associate lambs with spring, but I guess these ones were late starters!
