Hi Everybody!
Hope your week is going well. Mine is flying by like crazy. Today I am sharing another piece for my challenge about doors at AJJ . This piece was made from leftovers. The blue painted cardboard was left over from something or other, as was the pink. I cut a heart from the pink card, glued the pieces together, and doodled the flowers. I added 2 left over stick-ons:
This another girl inspired by #Effy Wild in her Journal 52. I liked how his one turned out. I am linking to Paint Party Friday:
Have a great da, take care,
and thanks for coming by!
What a wonderful door and idea today Valerie. The idea of opening your heart is fantastic. Too bad more people don't do that. And your lady is another beauty. You really can draw and paint fantastic faces. She is quite dreamy. And I had to laugh at the reindeers skating and the ice hole. That's a good one. The week is flying by; you are right. Hope yours is going well and the fingers are improving. Hugs-Erika
ReplyDeleteThanks Erika. Glad you lied the idea. The reindeers are fun. My fingers are a bit better, but still very painful. Sooner or later they will be better! Have a wonderful day, look after yourself, hug!
DeleteLovely art and beautiful memes.
ReplyDeleteThanks Christine, have a great day!
DeleteLoving your art Valerie
ReplyDeleteThanks Kathy, have a great day!
DeleteFlowers are always nice, mostly in winter time.
ReplyDeleteCoffee is on and stay safe
Yes, flowers are wonderful! Stay safe!
DeleteYour description of the first piece is so casual but it is really lovely. The portrait I think is really great, I feel you have caught a reflective mood and I love the eyes. V xx
ReplyDeleteThanks Vee! You caught me out there, I don't like the first piece, so glossed over it really quickly! Have a great day, take care, hugs!
DeleteAmazing and gloriously beautiful post full of colour and art. . xx
ReplyDeleteThanks Annie, have a great day!
DeleteHi Val, good morning! Love both pieces today, the pretty florals with your heart and the stunning portrait, you are getting better and better with them! Hope you are feeling a bit better, look after yourself and your fingers. Here all is well! Hugs from us all, Sarah
ReplyDeleteHi Sarah, I'm having more and more fun with the portraits, I can't stop! My fingers are still bad, but a little bit better than last week, and no new blisters or cracks, so I'm hopeful! Take care of yourself, hugs to all!
DeleteThanks Azka, have a great day! Take care!
ReplyDeleteGreat page, Valery. The doodled flowers are beautiful and the door on the heart is a lovely idea. As for your painting, it is adorable! I could not attend Effy's classes, as I am very busy during this period of time. Hugs, my friend.
ReplyDeleteThanks Mia, you are always busy!Have a great day, stay safe!
DeleteYou will have guessed I'm on catch up as always. I have enjoyed reading your posts and looking at your fabulous art pieces, your ladies are stunning and I really loved todays AJJ page with the heart.
ReplyDeleteStay safe.
Yvonne xx
Thanks Yvonne, have a great week, take care!
DeleteThank you for opening your heart. What a wonderful idea for your interpretation of your theme at AJJ. Lovely idea and lovely colours chosen for this page.
ReplyDeleteYour lady looks wistful, I wonder where her mind is? She is lovely.
Thanks for the funnies, I love the Hercules ones especially, very clever indeed.
Have a great week.
Hugs, Neet xx
Thanks Neet. I think the lady is wondering what's for dinner....hugs!
DeleteThe way to my heart is through a garden filled with birds, of course. I hope there is a table there where I can sit and enjoy a glass of wine with some fine cheese and fresh bread. I will, as you might imagine, toss a few morsels to the birds who would doubtless recognize me as their friend and admirer and visit in great numbers. Then, Valerie, I would pass through that garden of delight to experience the delights of this long-necked beauty you have created. OMG! She has allure and mystery to spare! When I see these rare beauties that you bring to us on a regular basis, I am starting to wonder what you will do with men if ever you decide that they too deserve to be the subject of your creative imagination. The sequence with Hercules is really funny. Made Miriam laugh too. She says that only a guy could go to all that trouble, and huffing and puffing, and muscle flexing. She says a woman would have it done in ten seconds! There's more than a little chauvinism in her utterings, I think. Yesterday we had our booster shot so we as armed as we can be to fight COVID, Delta, Omicron and whatever else comes along. And we don't even have the strength of Hercules. Stay well, stay strong, nurse your fingers, drink coffee, say a kind word to everyone you meet. Hugs and kisses. David
ReplyDeleteI'm glad you appreciate the delights of my paintings, feel free to sit in my garden with your wine and bread! Even the birds here talk about David, I think they're hoping you'll come over and spoil them. My balcony birds eat huge amounts each day. Hmm, perhaps I could have a few tries with men, send me a photo so I can practise! Getting a pill down a cat's throat isn't easy, but delicacies like a nice, oily sardine help more than force! I get my booster on Jan. 12th, so have to wait a bit. But I don't meet up with people very often, so hope that helps! I always have a kind word for other people, WTF do you think? Have a great day, listen to Miriam's words of wisdom! Hugs to you both, Valerie
DeleteClever interpretation for door to open your heart. Your elegant woman reminds me of the actress, Betty Davis. Take care.
ReplyDeleteThanks CJ. You're right, there is a resemblance there! Have a great day!
Deletei am truly in love with those arts:)
ReplyDeleteThanks Kathy, stay Safe!
DeleteYour art is beautiful Valerie, and those memes made me smile!
ReplyDeleteHugs,
Alison
Thanks Alison, have a great day! Hugs!
DeleteThe door through the garden to get to your heart is beautiful Valerie, and your art piece is gorgeous, just beautiful...you asked about the rocking horse die I used, it was from Amazon craft section..
ReplyDeleteLuv CHRISSYxx
Thanks so much Chrissy. I will look at Amazon! Hugs!
DeleteI do like the flowers and the pink heart ...
ReplyDeleteYour lady is looking thoughtful.
Hoping your fingers are slowly getting better.
Enjoy your Friday, and the coming weekend.
All the best Jan
Thanks Jan, have a great weekend!
DeleteOMG "Ice Hole"...that had me laughing too long hee hee...reminds me of a Simpsons episode where they were doing a parody of the pilgrims arrived at Plymouth Rock...Homer sees land from the ship and cries out "Land 'Ho!" and Marge says "what did you call me?" Anyway, I digress...your lady is beautiful Valerie, I love her eyes! ♥
ReplyDeleteToo funny! Thanks for visiting Rain, hugs!
DeleteNice art 😃!
ReplyDeleteThanks Shirley! Have a great weekend!
DeleteI adore your open door heart Valerie. It's beautiful, has great importance, and a wonderful way to show an open heart. Your lady is beautiful. Possibly one of my favorites ever. What a LONG neck she has, too.
ReplyDeleteLoved Hercules and the lion. That reminds me of the vet who tried to give Dog a pill. I just turned Dog on his back and he opened his mouth. I had given Dog a Vitamin E capsule every day since I got him at six weeks. The vet was amazed. Hope you are feeling better and your fingers are getting some rest.
Thanks E. Glad your Dog was trained! My Kitty was addicted to oil sardines, so that always worked for us! Have a great day.
DeleteThat is a very sweet and inviting door. The girl looks so amazing!! I can relate to Hercules, I brushed my kitty's teeth today :D
ReplyDeleteHappy PPF!
-Soma
Thanks Soma. Most Kitties don't like having their teeth brushed! Happy PPF, hugs!

DeleteThanks Teresa. Cats and pills is a loooong story, dogs are easier! I had to hide pills in oily sardines and then my cat took it! Have a great weekend, hugs!
ReplyDeleteThe one about the ice hole made me laugh! Hey, your painting of the girl is really nice. I like her green eyes.
