Hi Everybody!
We are having some grey and wet days here, but I still enjoy my walks even under an umbrella, and the rain will be a blessing for nature after the long, hot and dry summer.
I have another tag for Tag Tuesday where Sandie has chosen autumn colours as her theme. I used a book page matted with various papers as background. The page was coloured with distress inks. The bird was die-cut from a piece of the paper I painted last week, and I used a mix of natural and textile embellishments. The quote is from Proverbs, chapter 3 v 1, 'To everything there is a season and a time for every purpose under heaven':
This canvas was made a couple of years back but fits well to the season. The image is from Gecko Galz, the leaves were painted, die-cut and folded to make them look 'real':
I am linking to Paint Party Friday and the owls to Rain's Thursday art date
We had some beautiful sunrise scenes:
Loved these little toadstools:

And this whatsApp pic really spoke to me:
Have a great day, take care,
and thanks a lot for coming by!

DeleteHi Val, another lovely post, you always show us so much beauty, in your art and with your wonderful photos. Love the tag with that fantastic quote, one of my faves, too. Loved the sunrise scenes, a great combo of clouds and sunshine - darkness and light connected in their eternal fight! And the coffee quote is really something for you, great! Have a nice evening, hugs, Sarah

FiltercafĂŠ, ahahahhaha! This entry is full with beautiful things and beautiful Nature! The colors in your photos are amazing. I think I should make an effort to go out and walk in the park. It's easy in Summer and Spring but with Autumnn I hibernate!
ReplyDeleteI like them both, but especially your canvas. MY! Very spooky. And those are the most beautiful fungi. I've never seen any like them.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful artworks. I love those peekaboo owls! I also like noting mushroom clumps when I see them out and about on walks.
ReplyDeleteI've been loving your Autumn tags and I lve that canvas! Brilliant photos once again! Chrisx
ReplyDeleteYour designs are just so magnificent gorgeous colours. Loving the photos and those toadstools, wow, amazing.xx
ReplyDeleteYour tag is out of this world. I is a beauty, and I love that this is the season of change, just like your tag shows. Your canvas is amazing. Such a beauty and those leaves are out of this world. Great attention to detail.
ReplyDeleteI love the falling leaves. Ours haven't really fallen yet, so I'm loving what you find on your walks, wet or dry!
Thanks, it is my fave season and I go out as much possible, so that I don't miss anything. Sounds crazy!
DeleteI liebe Regen!
ReplyDeleteSchĂśnes ... es ist komisch auf Deutsch... artwork!
Es ist ein bisschen schwer, die alte Schrift zu lesen. Wir haben das damals noch gelernt in der SChule.
Auch das Zweite ist sehr kreativ!
Und schĂśne Naturfotos...

Eienen schĂśnen Tag, Irisx
Danke. Hmmmmm, German Speak, heavy Speak!
DeleteBeautiful art work Valerie, I love the owls. The toadstools are amazing, nothing better than a walk in the rain.
ReplyDeleteThey were really beautiful, so small and each one so perfect. Wonderful nature!
DeleteYou did a terrific job with those leaves. They really DO look like the real thing. :)
ReplyDeleteLovely sunrises. That you can see such beautiful skies through your windows make any too-hot or too-cold shortcomings of your apartment worthwhile.
Have a wonderful weekend, dear lady. :)
Great tag. And I love what you did with owl. I remember that piece. It is perfect for the season right now. And we have so many leaves down like that now since our rain/wind storm came through. Finally this morning the wind has died down but all day yesterday and last night it was so noisy. Happy Friday. Hugs-Erika
ReplyDeleteReally beautiful artwork and your photos are stunning. Have a lovely Friday and a beautiful weekend. Happy Paint Party Friday.
ReplyDeleteHi Valerie :) This is my first visit and I have to say your art work is AMAZING!!! I love how you created that bird in the first project you showed! How creative!!!

ReplyDeleteI'm catching up today,been away for a week...xx
I've missed getting to visit your blog these past weeks. I always enjoy seeing your artwork and beautiful photographs! I really love your tag and the scripture from Proverbs. Nice autumn work on canvas, perfect for this season. :) Your nature photos are awesome as well. Love the toadstools. We've finally been enjoying a tiny bit of cooler weather after a very long, hot and humid summer. I'm so thankful for the cooler air! Thanks for sharing and hope you have a blessed week.
ReplyDeleteThe tags keep getting better and better - love the autumn gatherings on this one, and they're just perfect against the book page background. Your canvas is full of the mystical beauty of autumn nights - with the owls, the symbol of wisdom taking centre stage in the beautiful dark blue night. What extraordinary skyscapes... and more fabulous fungi!

What beautiful makes Valerie, the berries are gorgeous, and I love your elegant owl in his top hat. Take care, Sue xx
