Thursday/Friday

Hi Everybody!

Hope you are all doing well and staying safe. 

Today I am sharing a piece meant for Erika's 'my favourite things' challenge at AJJ and for Paint Party Friday. Blue, gold  and green are always favourites, and circles, too. Here I painted the circles onto an A3 page with blue background.  I added some stenciled stars  and splodges and wrote quotes about circles with gold pen:





Today I am showing some of my favourite sky photos from last year:





















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

    This is a beautiful entry, Valerie. The colors are stunning and I love the abstract aspect, too. You can never go wrong with circles. Or gold! Thanks for another great entry using Erika's theme at Art Journal Journey.

    My favorite sky shots are the rainbow and the last photo.

    A friend of mine just told me he has been having problems with floaters in his eyes. There is no retinal detachment but they have not gone away. Your circles put me in mind of that! Your shot of the moon is quite wonderful, Valerie. There always seems to be a degree of comfort and the realization of the oneness of humanity that we all look at the same moon. Even in the southern hemisphere when the sky is "upside down" the moon is there as a constant. Stay safe. Hugs from Canada. David

      Hi David! Those floaters are sometimes annoying but mostly harmless. Yes, it's a good thought that we all see the same moon and sun. 'The sun (moon) shines on the just and unjust'. It's cold and wet here, so getting ready for a set walk. Have a great day, stay safe! Hugs to you both!

    Circles are one of the best shapes, aren't they? I really like this page. Of course blue and green with a splash of metallic gold is a color combo that you can't go wrong with. And is that bird a magpie? We don't have them here where I live. I read this page last night but was too upset to comment. (I see CJ's comment right above). But it was worth coming back. Thanks for your support at AJJ. Hugs-Erika
