Thursday / Friday Post

Hi Everybody!

Sorry I'm late visiting some of you, I'm still in the clinic and don't always have time, at least not as much as I have at home!

I have a new piece for Erika's let's face it challenge at AJJ. The image is from Gecko Galz, mounted on 2 hand-painted papers. The text was added digitally, my writing is not legible just now!



Let's see what you make of this one, my friend H thought the girl was wearing broccoli!






I am linking to Paint Party Friday

Some memes:




And a few photos taken along the Rhine:








A special bird perch:



Freezing mist:





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

    Gorgeous photos Valerie, love the freezing mist and especially that moon. Also thanks for the thinkies, I don't know where you find them all but they are such good fun.
    Your lat4est portrait is lovely too and it's a good idea to sometimes use a partial face in our work. Great texture.
    The faces - well, what can I say, they are beautiful. What a fabulous set of faces they are. All so beautiful - each one different and yet the idea is carried through from one to the other. Love it. A favourite of mine.
    Hugs and hope you are feeling a bit better each day.

      Thanks so much, Neet! Freezing mist looks beautiful, but it was cold! Glad you like the faces! I love that art déco image, too!

    Thank you for this latest post from the Medical and Therapeutic Club Med with its round the clock food kitchen, with treats to tempt you at all hours of the day. I expect that your angular corners are becoming round and plump. I know they stick needles in you and subject you to other terrors, but it's a small price to pay. I don't think it's broccoli on your femme fatale i think her heart has jumped right out of her chest and has turned green with envy at your private room and all that food on hand. Of course, she knows there are medical staff ready and able to put it right back where it belongs. This siren has wonderful hair too, like strands of giant kelp. She is probably a Pisces. Right now Erika is probably taking notes on the manner in which you formed her nose. Your series of photographs depict winter well, Valerie. Given the huge variety of mystical birds at Balconia-by-the-Rhine it is time for you to gather all the patients at the clinic to guide them on a bird walk to discover the ways in which they tackle the winter. I will look forward to your report - with pictures of course. Hugs and kisses. David

      Thanks for this fun comment David, you always make me laugh! Last night we really had a feast, and cooked and baked lots of delicacies, I think I need to buy new Jeans! Yes I think my lady is showing her heart, but why is green is another reason! We are having wintry weather, but nothing like your temperatures, and in between even some sun, so that's good. I think if I were to try to take everybody on bird walk there would be some heartfelt protest! But I will see if i can find some strange birds or other critters on my ramblings. There are a lot of red squirrels here, and a few mice in the gardens, who get fed with all the crumbs each day, and They are not shy at all. I love watching them. Have a great day, keep warm, hugs!

    I like that image with all the faces for AJJ Valerie. It looks like the ladies in some sci-fi-ish film, but since movies don't tend to stick long term in my head like they do some people, I can't place it. But it makes a super page for my faces challenge- so thank you very much!!! And they does look like a heart to me. Is she jealous or a nature lover? But its a great piece and certainly not broccoli. I hope your hands improve soon, and sounds like you had fun at the Clinik. Food sometimes is so good for the soul. But not always, that's when your jeans no longer fit. Smile. Have a super end of the "work" week. Hugs-Erika

    What a great entry for Erika's theme at AJJ. Very futuristic women. This turned out great. And the other woman looks like she is wearing a green heart.

    Between the snowy cat and your frosty photos, I got a chill. Looks like what we are in store for this weekend. Loved the girl and cat in the tree. That was sio cute.

    Wonderful art Valerie, hope being at the clinic is going ok for you. I though the lady had a green heart with her rather than broccoli. Lovely images from the Rhine.

    The girl is wearing a green heart. Strange looking wild mushrooms on the tree trunk. Freezing mist means it must be very cold.

    The women in brave face look very futuristic in the 1930s way of Flash Gordon. Brrrr. Looks very cold along the Rhine. The birds on the weathervane remind me of Gunther the seagull who likes to sit on top of the steeple at Enders Island. Stay warm!

    Beautiful photographs, it's really cold here today and it's been foggy all day which makes it feel even colder. However your art work brightens things up lots so thanks for that. I think the lady is wearing a big green heart shaped brooch. Well that#s what it looks like to me. I thought I was one of your followers but it seemed not but I am now. Hugs, Angela xxx

    Love "showing a brave face" - it reminds me of a modern pop art kind of poster. Your painted lady is lovely but not sure what the green is- kinda looks like an anatomy drawn heart but done green instead of red...
    beautiful photos of the Rhine area! Happy PPF!

    Valerie your faces on the first page are cool. Love the girl with the green broach as well. Kind of reminds me of a jealous heart more than brocolli. Very interesting. Great pictures too. Get well wishes! Hugz
