Hi Everybody!
The week is flying by again. It's cool and rainy here now, I'm enjoying it very much! Today I had a nice day with two friends, we had fun, ate too much cake and enjoyed a lovely meal this evening - wonderful!
Today I have an A3 piece to share that I made for Melanie Rivers lessson in Ida Andersen Lang's Art-Soul gathering. I am linking to Neet's fur or feathers challenge at AJJ, to Rain's Thursday Art Date, to Nicole's Friday Face Off, and Gillena's Friday Art Fun :
Some Thinkies / Funnies:
Have a great day, take care,
and thanks a lot for coming by!
A gorgeous art , lovely colours and a beautiful design, ♥ [in reference to your comment, come visit me in Australia and I will show the surf and sand to yu , all around me]
ReplyDeleteThanks Annie, wouldn't that be nice? I will keep dreaming of it! Hugs!
DeleteLovely art and a cute owl -Christine cmlk79.blogspot.com
ReplyDeleteThanks Christine, have a lovely day!
DeleteHi Val, good morning! Glad you had a nice day out yesterday with your friends! Love the beautiful, blue lady, another fantastic painting! Here all is well, will send you a photo of S, her front teeth have grown and she is so proud of them! Hugs from us all, Sarah
ReplyDeleteHi Sarah, I am gad to hear about the teeth, she was not happy when she was toothless, although she looked so cute! I'm going to have a quiet day today, after the 'excitement' yesterday, I don't have much stamina these days. Hugs to all.
DeleteI love your latest portrait from the midnight blue background to the tiny leaves in her hair. I think she must be a moon princess as she is portrayed against that delightful silver circle, or maybe she is a saint of the birds and that is her halo. Either way she is a powerful woman with that ever so well painted bird at her throat to me.
ReplyDeleteLove the pictures following, I feel just like Garfield so much of the time lately and i adore that little furry owl. Is there any way you can feature him in one of your hybrid journal pages? he is so cute.
I do hope you did not suffer after having a lovely day yesterday. Nothing is a better tonic than friends ... and cake. Sadly sometimes if we are not 100% it can take it out of us.
Take care and have a rest today and then a lovely weekend.
Hugs, Neet xx
Thanks Neet. Gone are the days when I could celebrate through the night and go to work the next day! Garfield is a great example! The cake was great and the meal out even better! I'm tired today. But it was worth it! I think the lady is a princess of the beautiful moon! Good idea to magic that pretty owl into a hybrid piece, I will see what I can come up with! Hugs!
DeleteCool and rainy sounds like just about perfect weather, Valerie. It is overall becoming a little cooler here but we have not had much rain, and we could really use some. I am happy to hear that you are out and about with your friends living the good life, wining, dining, burping, slurping. Good food and laughter go well together. That is one of life's constants. Great job with another maiden with haystack hair and a bird with a fearsome down-curved beak. The fact that she has leaves in her hair must surely make her a true child of nature and you can't get much better than that. Hugs and kisses - David
ReplyDeleteOh yes, cool and rainy is very pleasant after all that heat, and the field behind our garden is turning green again, that's lovely. It was a great day yesterday, but I'm tired today, but it was worth it! Glad you like today's maiden, I had fun painting her! Have a great day, take care! BIG hugs!
DeleteAnother lovely goddess. I'm glad your weather has cooled down. Going out to eat with friends is such a treasure especially eating cake. Enjoy your day!
ReplyDeleteThanks CJ. Cake is always a pleasure. And I went to my friend again tody and helped her to eat the cake leftovers, I was so glad to help! Have a great day!
DeleteLove your take on Melanie River's lesson, with a soupçon of Tamara with leaves in her hair! Super gorgeous! Deb
ReplyDeleteHi Deb, glad you like my mix! Hugs! Have a great day!
DeleteLovely art. We are getting fall weather here too.
ReplyDeleteThanks Debra, I am happy about the weather!
DeleteThere's such a thing as "too much cake"? ;)
ReplyDeleteProbably not, because today I went back and helped to eat the cake leftovers, yum!
DeleteSome lovely art and aww that owl is sooo cute.
ReplyDeleteHappy Thursday Valerie
Much💛love
Thanks Gillena, have a lovely day! Hugs!
DeleteGreat photos 😊 Have a nice day 😊
ReplyDeleteThanks Martyna!
DeleteBeautiful art, Valerie. I am cracking up with the animal of the day. Thanks for the laughs. Have a great day today.
ReplyDeleteThanks Nicole, enjoy your day!
DeleteShe is gorgeous with the leaves in her hair and the quote around her neckline..fabulous..
ReplyDeleteLuv CHRISSYxx
Thanks Chrissy! 🤗 Hugs!
DeleteA day with friends and cake sounds really delightful! I hope you are feeling well by now.
ReplyDeletebest… mae at maefood.blogspot.com
Thanks Mae, I am feeling better, and hope it will last a bit longer than last time! Have a great weekend!
DeleteYour painting turned out truly lovely, Valerie. I did enjoy this session with Melanie Rivers, I love her way of teaching - so calm and kind and nice. I only did one other of the art soul gathering lessons and it went all wrong - I will show if tomorrow for Friday Face Off if I have enough courage. Your thinkies are spot on again, especially the last one. So so true. I'm glad that you spent a lovely day with friends, cake is always good, isn't it?
ReplyDeleteThanks Carola. I love Melanie and her beautiful art. I am trying to repair my dryad that I made by art and soul, I hope I get her finished! Yes, cake is always good! Have a great weekend, hugs, Valerie
DeleteVery lovely artwork, Valerie! I don't think there is any such thing as too much cake. Very happy to hear that you are enjoying yourself!
ReplyDelete-Soma
Soma you are right - there's no such thing as too much cake. I went back the next day and helped to eat the cake leftovers, yum! Have a great weekend, Soma! Hugs!
DeleteShe’s a lovely lady Valerie. She looks like she has a special connection with the bird too. Those green eyes are amazing, and I must say she has lovely lips too. What a great page for Neet’s challenge Hope your week is ending well. Hugs Erika
ReplyDeleteThanks Erika, have a wonderfu day, and have a good rest when you get home! Hugs!
DeleteHi Valerie
ReplyDeleteHave a nice weekend.
Thanks for linking to Art For Fun Friday at my blog today
Much💛love
Thanks Gillena, love and hugs!
DeleteBeautifully done lady. Love the Rumi quote around her collar. The green eyes are stunning. Garfield is one of my favs. Have all of his single books from the first to his last. Had a great day yesterday, if not a little slower than usual. I guess that goes with age. 😁😊
ReplyDeleteI love Garfield, too, he's one of may faves, too. Glad you like the lady! I know what you mean about being slower - after the day out with my friends I had to rest the next day. We're getting old! Hugs!
Delete...I like your one eyed lady!
ReplyDeleteThanks Tom, have a great weekend!
DeleteOnce again, Valerie, you have hit a home run. Your art piece is awesome right down to the snake in the mouth of the Eagle :) And the little Madagascar Owl ... is that for real. Too adorable to be anything but a toy. Your "Thinkies" are superb, all of them. But the last is the best and oh so true. Of course Garfield is forever in my heart as I live with a Garfield cat who looks and acts just like the real Garfield. I love coming to see you, Valerie. You always put a smile on my face ...
ReplyDeleteAndrea @ From the Sol
Thanks Andrea! I think the owl is a fake, but certainly pretty! Garfield is always wonderful. I would love a Garfield look alike as a house companion! Hugs!
DeleteI love the first one-- I love the colors of her hair. With the blue and the gold.
ReplyDelete-Quinley
Thanks Quinley!
DeleteI just love that girl's green eyes. Very pretty.
ReplyDeleteThanks so much!
Deletethe blue color and the green of her eyes really draws me in :)
DeleteThanks Monica, have a great weekend!
DeleteHow absolutely fabulous, Valerie. I love that bird. And of course, your lady is absolutely gorgeous, too. Thank you for sharing this impressive entry with us using Neet's theme at Art Journal Journey.
ReplyDeleteI really love your thinkies and funnies today. Some really hit home.
Thanks Elizabeth, have a great weekend 😀😀😀
DeleteFabulous page, her blue hair and green eye are gorgeous! The thinkies and funnies are perfect too 😀. Happy wishes! Hugs Jo x
ReplyDeleteThanks Jo. I've got green eyes, perhaps I should try blue hair!?
DeleteLovely art.
ReplyDeleteCooler weather and rain is very welcome after the ridiculously hot summer weather.
All the best Jan
Definitely! Have a great weekend 😀😀!
