Thursday This and That

 Hi Everybody!

Today I am sharing another piece, painted with watercolours, made in the Lifebook taster course with a lesson 'Peace be with you' from Ida Andersen Lang. As it also has lots of lines, I am linking to Chris' challenge at AJJ:






And I have another tree tag for Pinky's tree challenge at Tag Tuesday:




And some more autumn impressions from my walks:










The last photos of the moon from last week (taken with my cell-phone):








Red and green:









And some beautiful rust:




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

    Oh my goodness, from art to earth! So much to love - and I am SMILING at your moon pictures! My granddaughter and I have a thing with just the 2 of us to go out each night and look at the Moon and Stars! Love the organic look to your art work - just splendid. Hugs!

    I haven't seen that video, but it appears you have created a real beauty. I love her headdress with the stars. Thanks, too, for sharing this with everyone by linking at Art Journal Journey using Chris's theme.

    Your trees made me smile. I love palm trees and these are VERY colorful. SO unlike any I've ever seen before.

    I love how the leaves are turning to reds and yellows. The autumn colors are so beautiful and warm.

    I think I missed that LifeBook lesson so I'll go back and check now! Love seeing all the fungi and leaves, so redolent of Autumn days, and the full, Harvest moon too. All whispering that the seasons are turning. Stay safe, and keep making art! Hugs, Deb

    Hello Valerie: The young maiden with the blue hair looks very seductive and appealing, I must say. There was a time when blue hair would have been fanciful indeed, but today hair of innumerable vibrant colours is the norm. The other day, in the supermarket, a young woman in front if me at the checkout had bright purple hair and more tattoos than a drunken sailor on leave in Port Said. Not to my liking, I'm afraid. The tattoos snaking up her neck verged on grotesque. Now your feathers are a different matter entirely, and they reflect that birds' plumage really does come in every shade imaginable, with iridescence to highlight their beauty. I too have been paying great attention to fungi, which seem to be especially abundant this year and is everywhere to be found. The fallen leaves, of course, are the very essence of autumn, and make me think back to walking through them, and kicking them up when I was a child. Then we used to build up huge piles, climb a tree and jump into them. Maybe we can do some of this with Lily is a couple of years. Well maybe not climbing trees......Enjoy what remains of the day, Valerie. From Canada I am sending you hugs, kisses, pecks, squeezes, pats, greetings, salutations, salutes, and other gestures of friendship and affection I can't even bring to mind! Toujours ton ami, David

      Thanks David, your comment cheered me up. We had a problematic start to the day here - no electricity and no internet. So no coffee, no computer, no friggin' nothing! Cola for breakfast was not to my taste. Wanted to go into town for a breakfast and coffee. Trams and buses are all on strike, all day today. Perhaps tomorrow, too....got a takeaway coffee from the kiosk near the tram stop, boy, was it good! Autumn leaves re wonderful, and I still kick my way through them, but don't anymore jump from the trees, those times are unfortunately passé! Sending you greetings in all forms, and a nice, cold hug. Hope the heating soon kicks back on again! Hugs etc to you both!

    What a gorgeous watercolour you have shown to us today. I love the colours chosen and the subject is beautiful, what an endearing face, so angelic.
    I am loving your tag too, very strong colours here in total contrast to the watercolour above it.
    I must comment on your new blog header - what a gorgeous tree, what a beautiful golden shade it is. I have not seen any around here that colour as yet but I long to as I love autumn and its richness of colour.
    Thank you also for the beautiful photographs. I am going back to start at the beginning and look through them all again.
    Hugs, Neet xx

    That is a wonderful piece you made in class. Great glow from the purple at the top. It gives her a sacred feel, but not really a religious feel-at least to me. It is perfect for Chris' challenge. And nice tag too with those potted palms. Loving your autumn photos. The colors right now are gorgeous, aren't they? Too bad they don't last longer. Hope your week is going well. Hugs-Erika

    On your painting, her hair and the colors are super amazing. So well done. I wish I had her eyelashes!

    The colors on the tag are very eye appealing and it is super pretty.

    Your Fall walk pictures are wonderful! You have such an eye for color and interesting things. Such a delight! Hugz
