Hi Everybody!
Friday has been another day of non-stop rain, but I still enjoyed my walks, more or less. I'm always thankful for waterproof clothing, boots and brollies!
Today I had a little playtime in my digital programme. I started off with an A3 mixed media journal page made long ago using left over red and black paint and stencils:
After importing it into my digital programme I copied it several times and layered them over each other, reducing the size each time. This was harder than it looks, but much better than doing housework! Then I added the text, which also had to be copied in various sizes onto each layer. Ad infinitum means again and again, or can be used in the sense of forever:
I had fun playing on this wet and dark afternoon. I am linking to Yvonne's words and numbers challenge at Art Journal Journey
Thursday was a dry day, crisp and cold, and I took a walk 'on the dark side' along the Rhine after Art Group, and enjoyed the beautiful colours and atmosphere very much:
And later in the evening I got some shots of the moon before it clouded over again:
Have a great weekend, take care,
and thanks a lot for coming by!
I am happy to hear that you still got out for your walks, but nonstop rain is not pleasant for sure. Still, you can't change the weather so it's good to make the most of it.
ReplyDeleteExactly! But sunshine would be nicer!
DeleteBeautiful art and wonderful dark photos! Good to be prepared with wet weather dress!
ReplyDeleteHi Val, the past 2 days were chaotic, my mum was really ill but she's starting to get better. Love your Mona art, great fun, and the pics are gorgeous. Sorry, just a quicky today. Hugs, Sarah
ReplyDeleteArt is a fun way to procrastinate housework. Beautiful pictures on your walk. The texture of that sky is amazing. And the shade of the blue sky in the last photo. 😮 Enjoy your weekend.
ReplyDeleteI love your Mona Ad Infinitum! Your photos are also so very lovely! I'm glad you've been enjoying your walks.
ReplyDeleteHi Valerie :) Happy PPF! :) Your walk looks very chilly...the moon photos are spectacular! I love your Mona Lisa!!! Oh anything is better than housework lol! I hope you get some clear skies soon!!

You're much better at walking in inclement weather than I am that's for sure- and good for you! I could only tolerate it if it was warm. Great job on the digital collage art! And oh how I especially love the photos along the Rhine- something about the water for me... happy PPF!
ReplyDeleteThanks. It's a wonderful place to walk, always different, but always beautiful.
DeleteWhat amazing digital work. I can only imagine how long it must have taken you to layer those Monas. This is utterly stunning and I'm delighted that you joined us again at Art Journal Journey. It's a beauty.
ReplyDeleteThose clouds were very moody, but the lights along and in the river brightened up the walk. There's something magical about Christmas lights. Lovely photos and lovely art, dear friend.
Wow,that is truly a work of art!
ReplyDeleteWelches Programm nutzt du? Auf der Arbeit hatte ich Photoshop, das vermisse ich... Alles ist besser als Hausarbeit ;-)
ReplyDeleteGroßartiges Endprodukt!
Und sehr schöne Fotos, das Auto sieht klasse aus. Schöner Mond.
Hoffe, das Wetter wird besser, dir einen schönen Tag, GlG, Iris
Danke! Ich benutze Serif und Photoshop. Das Auto steht mit vielen anderen im Cafe Burghof hier am Rhein.
Deletevery interesting post:) this cloudy landscape wow...
ReplyDeleteThe clouds can be so beautiful!
Deletei love watching in sky and adoring this blue sight with fluffy clouds;)
DeleteI love how you layered the Mona page, it must have taken you a long while, digital really can take hours so good for you having a good crafting time an leaving the housework for later. I would as well.
ReplyDeleteThank you for sharing with Art Journal Journey , I really appreciate your support there Valerie.

the moon... and Mona, the skies are so heavy!
ReplyDeleteIt is remarkable how you created this piece of lovely art. So many steps to reach your goal dark to light...love it!
ReplyDeleteYour photos are always exquisite!!!
Hugs ❤
Beautiful photos of sunsets and moon, and I love Mona!
ReplyDeleteLots of people in the UK seem to believe all the Tory lies, unbelievable! Funded by the rich for the rich! I'm still so upset and annoyed! It was all about that B word Valerie. Rant over! Hahaha
Happy weekend,
Alison xx
Really loving all the effects in your digitalwork!

Your photographs are so lovely I've scrolled up and down several times enjoying them.
ReplyDeleteWe've had rain all day, I'm hoping for some dry, sunny, frosty days soon :)
Enjoy the rest of your weekend.
All the best Jan
I love Mona, especially the way you enhanced her. It is so cool! And hope your rain clears out soon. I love the photos from your walk on the dark side. Those moon photos are fantastic. No more full moons for this decade. Hugs-Erika
ReplyDeleteNow that is one creative Mona! I love the multi layers and the geometric look to this - wow! And your walk - sorry it rained for your walks but you sure got some great photos!
ReplyDeleteI saw this same moon while cruising on the Rhine - this very same moon - beautiful!

Great to see you around again!
DeleteBeautiful moon photos! Love them! I can't believe how clear yours look. We have had a lot of rain here too- but happy to see some sunshine today. :) I loved your comment about how the artwork was hard- but better than housework. Definitely! And prettier too!
ReplyDeleteHave a wonderful day!

Wonderful shots. I love seeing light in the dark. It takes away the cold and adds warmth.
ReplyDeleteMona is definitely infinitum.
