Thursday/Friday post

Hi Everybody!

Sorry I am still behind with visiting, today I have had treatment and therapies all day. Tomorrow I have an easier day and will catch up.

I am sharing an A3 Painted collage. I am linking to Elizabeth's challenge at AJJ and to Paint Party Friday. The quote is hard to read here and is from Albert Einstein:
'Learn from yesterday, live for today, and hope for tomorrow'






Some pics from yesterday:




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

  3. She's quite sophisticated, especially with that gold and the butterfly. It's a beautiful piece. And you have daffodils? How lucky. We've had some really beautiful spring weather but we have a big snow storm coming in on Friday. I will enjoy that photo for certain. Hope you get some rest. Hugs-Erika

  6. Hello Valerie: I am sure that you would rather spend your day in ways other than going from one therapy or treatment to another, but we all hope that it is having good results. There are no doubt exotic birds of Balconia waiting to be discovered, but it requires a healthy explorer to discover them and make renderings for the world to see. I have already been honing my inadequate knowledge of systematics and taxonomy in anticipation of the next mystical find. In the meantime I am enjoying all the exotic ladies you are sending my way, with their signature flowing locks, and more than once a butterfly nestled at their neck. Lucky butterfly! The daffodils are a great reminder that spring will come as it does every year. Sometimes it's a bit of a stretch to imagine it when all around is white with snow. Another month will make quite a difference. Stay well, drink coffee, walk sprightly, raid the kitchen, enjoy Mozart. Hugs and kisses, David

    1. Hi David, this has been another mad day and I'm just getting round to commenting etc. There are exotic birds in the park here, and I saw the owl! I hope I can soon get around to doing a bit more. Glad you liked today's lady! I bet ou wouldn't mind being that butterfly. God that dreaming is free to all! Lots of spring flowers are already blooming, and yesterday we had sun all day. No snow here, but we did have some rain. And with Putin going mad again thigs are starting to look serious here. Today I enjoyed Mozart and the Beatles! Stay well and safe, big hugs, Valerie

    2. No, I wasn't quick enough. It was a creamy brown colour, very pretty!

  7. I like the butterfly that has landed on your lady. I also like the second half of the quote from Einstein, which is "The important thing is not to stop questioning."

  13. This goddess looks like she stepped out from the 1930s. Love the moth brooch she’s wearing. Daffodils! We won’t see those for another month or so especially after snow for Friday

  15. You aren't the only one behind. This is a beautiful lady. I love the way you treated her lips. And of course, I adore how you added the butterfly to her dress. This is wonderful and perfect for Bleubeard's and my theme at Art Journal Journey.

    Those daffs show spring is on its way. I hope you have now recovered from all the treatments yesterday and are doing better.
