Hi Everybody!
Another short post, I hope things get back to normal - whatever that is - soon! I have a painted piece with some digital additions meant for my spring challenge at AJJ:
Soring is springing although it's very cold, and the Rhine is still too full:
Have a great day, take care,
and thanks a lot for coming by!
What a beautiful page Valerie - fabulous Spring photos too!Hugs, Chrisx
ReplyDeleteThanks Chris, have a great day!
DeleteNot only is your page full of spring beauty but so is the world around you. You have crocuses and lovely green grass. And your page is lovely too Valerie. That quote is the secret to peace, isn't it? I hope you are having a nice week. Hugs-Erika
ReplyDeleteThanks Erika, have a wonderful day! Hugs
DeleteI would like to experience world peace and all be accepted.
ReplyDeleteCoffee is on and stay safe
That would be fabulous!
DeleteOoh I like that piece so moody and atmospheric. V xx
ReplyDeleteThanks Vee, stay Safe!
DeleteHi Val, lovely art, have a great day, hugs, Sarah
ReplyDeleteThanks Sarah, hope the work is making progress!
DeleteGood morning Valerie: Both your piece and your pictures portray spring today. We had a little snow yesterday so that put a temporary damper on thoughts of spring, but it is only momentary, and we know that a few green shoots will soon begin to thrust up through the ground and renewal will begin. Spring migration of the birds is well underway, and the sound of bird song is already a feature of dawn. For the embattled people of Ukraine, dawn is the end of another harrowing night, of frightened children spent in cold shelters, fearing bombs falling down on them, and brave adults doing as best they can to comfort them, all the while fleeing their homes and leaving all that they have ever known and loved. And Homo sapiens continues to be delusional about being the superior species? We are barbaric in the extreme. Where does this end? When do we cease to maim and slaughter each other? When will we stop trying to impose one ideology on another? When do we come to our senses and desist from polluting the Earth with toxic chemicals beyond its capacity to absorb them? The answer, of course, is that we won't; we have failed in all of this and will continue to do so. The time is not so far off when none of us will remain to write the history of our folly. Hugs and kisses, David
ReplyDeleteHi David, thanks so much. The news from the ukraine is so scary, it's really frightening. Short comment today, I'm, supposed to be resting! BIG hugs!
DeletePraying for the power of love to over rule the love for power and that the war will cease. Lovely art peace with pretty little butterflies. Thanks for the photos showing the river and pretty flowers.
ReplyDeleteThanks Nancy, that's what we need. Have a great day!
DeleteOh my goodness, Valerie! I absolutely loved your gorgeous photos and beautiful work of art! I really like how you incorporate digital images onto your beautiful painting!!!

DeleteSorry I am so late visiting. It's bitterly cold here and my hands are not working well. I am not sure if I like the quote better or the collage. The quote really drew me in. It is beautiful and poignant, and so very appropriate, too. Thanks for another great entry using your theme at AJJ.
ReplyDeleteLove the crocuses and the tulips in the village.
Thanks E, it's great to See spring flowers. Look after your hands!
