Circles, squares and colours

Hi Everybody!

Hope all is going as well as possible for you. I'm still 'enjoying' the time in my ivory tower. Nathalie went shopping for me again yesterday, she is a treasure!
I hope you are all managing well!

For Art Journal Journey I have another hybrid piece to share. The circles were all recycled from old art pieces that I cut up and die cut. It was put together  and the sentiment added in Serif:



And once  again I have some nature photos with geometrical and symmetrical shapes:

















Have  a great day, take care, stay safe!
And thanks a lot for coming by!

    That is such a fun quote and you illustrated it so well Valerie. The circles seem to pop off the page. Love it. And geometric shapes are everywhere, as I am not noticing now. Have a safe and happy weekend. Hugs-Erika

    Lovely colourful art.
    So nice to see the animal and bird photographs

    … and Nathalie is brilliant :)

    Do please have a safe and happy weekend. I think here in the UK the sun is going to be shining and temperatures are rising.

    All the best Jan

    I had to laugh at that sentiment. It is true, of course, and you certainly made it quite artful. The colors are great, the composition is fabulous and those circles seem to rise above the page. This is a beautiful and well thought out page, dear. Thanks for another inspiring journal page using your theme at Art Journal Journey.

    Your photos are fabulous. I am seeing geometric shapes I haven't considered for ages. Thanks for even more inspiration today.

    A fabulous and inspiring page for your AJJ theme Valerie. I smiled at the going round in circles as I circle my square [when it hasn't hot the extra leaves pulled out]dining room table a few times before I sit in front of the computer, wel,l we have to take some exercise where we can.
    The photos were super and geometry is there if we look carefully.
    Take care , stay safe and well.

    Love the Art Journal page. The words so reflect the circles and art. Your creations always make me think as well as being inspiring! So sweet of Nathalie - we all need strong support systems now. I convinced my daughter, Allie to get my groceries this week so I know how grateful you are. Lovely pictures of shapes in nature - you always capture such clear pictures of things. Lovely post. Hugz

    It seems to me that everyone should have a Nathalie in their lives. Actually our neighbours have been terrific. Whenever they go shopping they call us to ask if there is anything we need that they can pick up for us. So far, I have been doing it all myself, but the offer is appreciated. Stay well and stay cheerful, Valerie.

    Such a fun quote, the circles remind me of vibrant bubbles. Blowing bubbles was a favorite activity of my girlies when they were little. The peacock is gorgeous and the last photo, the ram made me laugh. Looks like he's had enough of social distancing and stay at home advisories. Take care.
