Hi Everybody!
Today I am sharing a piece called 'Roots of joy' inspired by the lovely Tiare Smith. We splashed and and splattered colours on the page, and then drew scribbly lines round them. Then the scribbly dragonfly was added and on the stem leading down to the roots some words have been fitted into the squiggles. This was good, because shaky hands weren't so important here!
And here are 2 pieces which I digitally changed:
I am linking to Chris challenge at AJJ, as this reminds me of spring.
And I have another tag for my anything goes challenge at Tag Tuesday:
Some funnies/ thinkies:
Have a great weekend, take care,
and thanks a lot for coming by!
Oh fun and happy art. I love the scribble part of it.
ReplyDeleteThanks Nicole, scribbling is fun! Have a great weekend!
DeleteLove the happy effect of your splatters and scribbly lines you should do more of these since they suit shaky hands. Inspiring tag and good memes
ReplyDeleteYes, I will do more of these, they ae fun and quick! Have a great weekend!
DeleteAwesome art Valerie and I loved the memes-Happy weekend hugs Kathy
ReplyDeleteThanks Kathy, Have a great weekend!
DeleteMy weekend are not control by alarm clocks
ReplyDeleteCoffee is on and stay safe
Yes nobody likes alarm clocks! Have a great weekend!
DeleteReally fun-art !
ReplyDeleteThe alarm clock was funny!
thanks Ashok. Have a great weekend!
DeleteThe art pieces turn out very prettty. If I have an alarm clock now, it would give me the same message. Have a great weekend.
ReplyDeleteThanks Nancy. No alarm clocks needed here, either! Have a great weekend!
DeleteHi Val, good morning! Love your colourful and joyful scribble flowers, they are adorable. And the tag is beautiful, too! I love the alarm clock funny, I'm longing for that day!! Have a great day, take car, I'll ring you this evening! Hugs from us all, Sarah
ReplyDeleteThanks Sarah, hugs! Looking forward to hearing your voice this evening!
DeleteI love the flowers in your first creation. Such beautiful colours. Great work. HOpe you are doing better. Hugs Anesha
ReplyDeleteThanks Anesha. Have a great weekend! Hugs, Valerie
DeleteScribble flowers seem like just the thing for shaky fingers, but even better would be relief from the agony that is causing them to tremble. If only magic wands were real, I would get my hands on a huge one, and wave it over Balconia-by-the-Rhine, conferring steady hands for all time for all who live there. I would fly over on a magic carpet to dispense my relief, and invite you aboard for coffee served in the thinnest, finest, bone china demitasses as visible proof that a steady hand had been restored. Reality is what it is, however, and there is nothing I can do to alleviate your misery, except send you a few bons mots and hope that they cheer you up for a moment or two. Enjoy the weekend as best you can, Valerie. Hugs and kisses, David
ReplyDeleteThanks David, your posts are always such fun! I would love to see you sitting on a magic carpet, waving your big wand over Balconia. And wonderful coffee would be great, but I'd rather have a big mug full! I hope all is well in your place, and that the most beautiful birds wait for you to walk by and enjoy them. I'm having a pyjama weekend and relaxing Hugs to you and Miriam!
DeleteThe splatter painting looks like so much fun and the tag is very empowering. Enjoy the weekend
ReplyDeleteThanks CJ, I will definitely play with that splatter and splosh Technic again, it was such fun. Enjoy your weekend!
DeleteYour flower piece is absolutely perfect! What a terrific technique. I love the colors and the happiness of this piece. I'm glad you could do those but oh, I'm so worried about your hands. They are your tools, your operating equipment and shaky hands are a challenge for an artist. I hope the pain is under control. I so admire that you are still sharing and making things. Biggest hugs!
ReplyDeleteThanks Jeanie. The pain is more or less under control, but the meds make me tired and very unconcentrated, but sooner or later I hope it will get better. Painting and writing are good, because it stops the nerves dying off. HUgs, have a great weekend!
DeleteI think you need to go with the shaky hand style (not that you want shaky hands, I don't mean that). I mean your piece is great, and I love the squiggly lines. It feels like summer, and it is beautiful. I love the tag too. Those ladies are fun, and their little dog is especially fun. Hope the hands are improving a bit and this whole disease slows down in its progression. Happy weekend my friend. Hugs-Erika
ReplyDeleteThanks Erika, have a great Weekend! Hugs!
DeleteLOL I'm still smiling over the cat funny!!! I Love love love your art pieces! PLEASE show more of your painting-you have a wonderful style!
ReplyDeleteThanks Debra, I post on Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday Friday, and weekend!
DeleteVery fine post;) Have a nice weekend;)
ReplyDeleteThanks Martyna! Enjoy your weekend!
DeleteI love these flowers Valerie- they certainly do look like Spring flowers. The scribbly words look great...a truly lovely page for my AJJ theme. The tag is fabulous-hoping to join in. Love the alarm clock! Chrisx
ReplyDeleteThanks Chris, I loved making the flowers, splosh and splatter is always fun! Yes, it's nice not to have to get up at 5:30 each day!
DeleteBeautiful and wonderful art. Love the way it almost reminds me of asemic writing. I like the digital versions, too. Great entry for Chris's theme at Art Journal Journey.
ReplyDeleteThat tag is SO positive. I absolutely LOVE it. Wonderful sentiments and darling girls.
Cute memes, too. That cat is really typical. Wants in and out at the same time. Hope all is well in your world, dear.
Thanks Elizabeth! My Kitty was like that, first she wanted out onto the balcony, then she wanted in, and then out again, she could play this game for hours!
DeleteSo true of cats. BTW, the Cat has spoken and he says THANK YOU.
DeleteHey, I've got that alarm clock. Grin.
ReplyDeleteThose pieces are grand, especially the squiggles. That would be fun. Makes me want to try it.
Take special care.
Hugs
es, it's a great alarm clock! Scribbles and squiggles are fun! Have a great weekend!
DeleteSo glad the cat approves!
DeleteLove the pieces you shared. :) Also- the memes gave me a smile.
ReplyDeleteHope you are having a nice weekend!
