Bubbles - Rain's Thursday Art Date

Hi Everybody! 

Rain's theme this week is bubbles - bubbly, so I have tried to find pictures for this theme. For my theme at AJJ I made a hybrid piece with digitally-airbrushed bubbles so I could combine both themes. The background was hand-painted and the figures cut-outs from magazines which I digitally altered:



This is an older piece to which I added bubbles:


And some pieces from previous years which fit Rain's theme and my geometric shapes theme:






And some bubbly photos:











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

    1. It's a brush in my graphics programme which allows you to 'airbrush' things, like her with bubbles!

  5. Bubbles kenn ich jetzt nur noch von Sekt, von früher, Ingo verträgt den nicht mehr und allein.... nö.
    Badewanne haben wir auch weggeworfen weil nie benutzt... "Bubble-free" - aber wir haben ein Seifenblasengerät, wär´s nicht 4C hier würde ich so mitmachen können, aber deine Arbeiten sind eh schöner :-)

    Got it! Marbles, ja, lange weg. In dieser Zeit wohl bei Vielen....

    Sonnig hier, dir einen schönen Tag und GlG, Iris

  8. Thats a fabulous hybrid page and I love how you added the bubbles. All the pages you shared looked awesome as well. I am smiling at the one with the head and the sentiment that she was loosing her marbles. I can feel like that these days when I feel like I need to escape the house. But, its safe to stay home foe us.
    Take care and keep safe.

    1. Bubbles are always very special, I often stand on my balcony and blow bubbles, just for the fun of it. And yes, they are a symbol of freedom and lightness. Thanks my friend!

  12. I am sure that this is entirely in keeping with your bubbly personality! Stay well!

  13. I like all of your bubble pictures but the first one really did stop me in my tracks. It is so powerful! Gorgeous colours you used in your hand-painting and I love how you have outlined the figures then added the bubbles and the words. A very dramatic piece of art.
    Your first bubbly photo and the third one are my favourites although I do like all of them but I think it is the colour that got to me in the first one and the third one has a fantastic molecular structure. But then I also like the fourth one and the one after the lemon. Oh heck - I like them all.
    Hugs, Neet xx

  14. I took the day off from the computer yesterday and so I am catching up a bit. Today pages with those bubbles are so much fun. I love the circles page and that face. Well actually they are all good. And bubbles is a great idea for now as there is something lighthearted and childlike fun about them. Hope you are doing well my friend. Hugs-Erika

  20. Another day of wonders. I especially loved the way you made three circles out of your pictures, your piece with the musical emphasis and I was going to say the bubble picture but bubbles are in almost every picture. Heh.
    Take care. Stay safe. Elbow bump.

  24. Such a happy, bubbly ;D), fun post Valerie. A real delight to see what you did with your bubbles. Lovely art and photos. Cheers! Sue xx

  25. I am already thinking of Rain's next prompt because when bubbles pop, figuratively or in reality, they leave a mess ... but, meanwhile I am loving your bubbles of every kind and color. Your original art is perfectly delightful and full of truth, because the bubbles in our lives are fleeting. You have done an outstanding job on this prompt and it is fun to look back into your files and see your thoughts over time. This was beautiful, Valerie ...

  29. Looks like I missed this post, too, Valerie. Certainly not intentional, just can't seem to stay online and when I do, I'm totally out of it. All the bubbles are great. Several of your paintings I hadn't seen before, so this was enjoyable in two ways.

    I'm never tired this time of night, but I about fell asleep in my chair while writing this comment.
