Weekend Post

Hi Everybody!

It's weekend - enjoy! We've had wild, wet and windy weather here for days, but slowly it seems to be getting better, so I hope we have some sunshine. This afternoon it was at least dry, and I went with a friend to a delicious Cafe where we had cocoa and cake, yummy!  I will show photos on monday!

Today I am sharing another piece for Alson's challenge at AJJ, inspired by the German song 'Sternenhimmel' (Starry sky) from Hubert Kah. It's an A3 piece painted with acrylics:







You can hear the music on youtube - not everyone's taste, but I liked it!

And some funnies:





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

  2. That face is fantastic Valerie. Those blue eyes are captivating. I need to go check out the song because your face is so fascinating. And it sounds like you had a nice day out today. We all needs those little pick me ups, don't we? and those puppies, how cute. One of the best things about cats and dogs is they sure make us laugh and smile. Happy weekend. hugs-Erika

  8. Good morning, Valerie: Thanks for a gorgeous, blue-eyed babe to start my day! Glad to hear that you got out to the café with a friend to enjoy some social time. It doesn't seem like you to be having cocoa instead of your usual cappuccino, but I am sure that you are following the doctor's orders. If my doctor ever tells me to give up wine, I'll just give up the doctor! Yesterday we saw Lily and Heather, but we had to curtail our walk when it started to rain. It's hard to believe that in just two months Lily will be two years old. She has a mind of her own I can tell you that. The picture with all the dogs brought a smile to my face. What a gorgeous group of animals. This morning I will be leading a nature walk for a new branch of our local library that will be having its grand opening next week. It has been constructed with a natural theme and is at the edge of one of the large parks in the area. The weather looks a little iffy, but we'll give it a shot and see how we do. We easily passed the maximum of thirty participants and have a waiting list. Maybe I'll do it twice. Enjoy the weekend. Hugs and kisses, David

    1. Glad the blue eyed babe gave you a good start to your day! And your idea of giving up the doctor instead of the wine is good! I could apply that to coffee, too. How lovely that you met up with Lily and Heather. 2 years already, where did the time go! The dogs are really lovely, I would like a dog again. Or a cat. Or both? Hope the weather holds up for your nature walk, and it's wonderful that so many people are interested - things are looking up! Have a great weekend, big hugs!

  24. Why haven't I seen that post earlier? I love you star woman, she's lovely - and now of course I have that song going through my head! "Ich seh den Sternenhimmel..." I even have it on my Spotify playlist of German songs that I always start my German lessons with (while the students are coming into the classroom). I think I need to play that song again - thanks for the inspiration!
    And I want that cat bathroom - too funny!

  25. I would have been here sooner, but I've been stuck with my new tax man most of the day. Nothing like waiting till the last minute (taxes are due on the 15th). Although I have never heard that song before, I really enjoyed your beautiful art you shared. Thanks for this beauty you gave us using Alison's theme at Art Journal Journey.

    Love the funnies, especially the cat in the restroom.
