Hi Everybody!
Today I have some art for various challenges. First off I have an autumnal piece for Elle's challenge at AJJ, tell me a story. The story is a poem from Keats. The background is a photo of a misty morning taken from my window, the rest was added digitally:
The second piece is meant for Nicole's Friday Face Off:
And last but not least, a Halloween piece for Rain's TADD:

Some thinkies/funnies:
I will also be linking to Gillena's Friday art fun.
Sorry, not much bla-bla today, I am very exhausted again.
Have a great day, take care,
and thanks a lot for coming by!
This post is like an art museum visit Valerie. You have so much wonderful art today. Using a poem as a story is a great idea, and your page to go with the poem is also amazing. And I like how you used those scraps of book print on your page. And of course, your Halloween page is lots of fun for the season. No wonder why you are tired-smile. I found the comment you left on my post that didn't show up. It was in my spam file for some reason. Oh Google is doing it again. I hope you have a wonderful end to your week and get plenty of rest. Hugs-Erika
ReplyDeleteGlad you like it all Erika. I'm glad I started early on making stuff for these themes! Google sometimes drives me nuts! Have a great day, hugs!
DeleteLove the pieces. The first is my fave.
ReplyDeleteSnoopy's got it right doesn't he? Get some rest. Hugs,
Thanks, it's my fave, too. I love my misty mornings outside! Hugs!
DeleteLovely pieces for the challenges. That last thinkie is so funny
ReplyDeleteThanks Christine, I love it, too!
DeleteI Love your art Valerie! loving Snoopy-hugs
ReplyDeleteThanks Kathy, Snoopy always gets it right! Hugs!
DeleteHi Val, good morning! You have a plethora of wonderful art today, love it all! Hope you are soon feeling a bit better, take care. It's dentist day here, yikes! Hugs, Sarah
ReplyDeleteHi Sarah. Hve fun at the dentist! I need to make an appointment, too! Hugs to all!
DeleteBeautiful art pieces especially the first two. The 3rd is a spooky one. Thanks for the funnies. I like the childhood punishments becoming an adult's goal.
ReplyDeleteNow Valerie, I am easily confused at the best of times, but when a post entitled "Thursday/Friday" shows up on my blog on Wednesday, my sense of delirium is only magnified! I have taken into account the time difference and realize that it was a tad after midnight in Balconia-by-the-Rhine, so it begins to make sense. Your autumnal piece is lovely, the highlight being the Blackbird on the branch in the centre. Anyone who has ever heard one of these birds sing appreciates what magical notes are produced to delight human senses, to say nothing of what it might do to excite a female Blackbird. A Nightingale may have sung in Berkley Square, but I think on balance, I would take a Blackbird. Get lots of rest. Hugs and kisses - David
ReplyDeleteI have a blackbird who visits my balcony day by day, such a sweet bird. Sorry if I confused you with days and times, but I always schedule my posts for 00:00 Uhr our time. I have been resting a lot! BIG hugs!
Deleteso lovely arts!
ReplyDeleteThanks Kathy!
DeleteThat photo is perfect for Elle's theme and I love how you have provided a frame with all those other elements around it - it is beautiful. The way you have adorned it makes the photo look almost ethereal.
ReplyDeleteLove your face painting and your Halloween one has the most beautiful blues and greens - stunning use of colour in both pieces and lovely composition
Hope you are feeling a little rested and stronger each day. Rest and take things easy, please.
Hugs, Neet xx
Thanks Neet! I love blue and green together. I hope I will feel bettter when I have finished this course of tablets, they make me feel so bad. Just 3 more days! Look after yourself!
DeleteThe misty background is beautiful in the first piece. My favorite is the Halloween piece as that has my favorite color and a black cat
ReplyDeleteBlack cats are always special!
DeleteWOW!!!! That first piece is elegant. The second for Friday Face OFF is peaceful and so beautiful and the third is the perfect Halloween fun. Thank you in advance for joining FFO. Have a wonderful day today.
ReplyDeleteGlad you like it, Nicole!
DeleteGreat art today Valerie, I like that you used one of your own photos in the first piece. Also like that "once upon a time" cat story too lol. Thanks for joining me for the October theme at Art Journal Journey this month Elle/Empire of the Cat xx
ReplyDeleteThanks Elle. I love using photos when I do a hybrid creation, it makes it more personal for me. Have a great day, hugs, Valerie
ReplyDeleteWonderful pieces. Happy Thursfsy Valerie
ReplyDeleteMuch❤love
Thanks so much, Gillena, have a happy day!
DeleteI would guess your creative everyday.
ReplyDeleteCoffee is on and stay safe
Thanks, how did you guess?!
DeleteGorgeous art piece with that little bird on a branch and the lovely colours and elements surrounding him, and love the face in those beautiful shades and the textures on it, and lastly your witch flying across that fabulous spooky night sky, brilliant.
ReplyDeleteLuv CHRISSYxx

ReplyDeleteI enjoyed the variety here... different moods :)
ReplyDeleteThanks, have a great weekend!
DeleteLoving the witch! And oh -- the Retired Snoopy. That hits home!
ReplyDeleteOh yes, Snoopy is right!
DeleteI have thoroughly enjoyed these wonderful art pieces you have given us. I love the misty Keats poem. It is a great take on Elle's theme at AJJ, too. And I always love your faces. This one is divine with the writing and the pen nibs. Gorgeous. And of course, I think your witch is wonderful and so is the black cat. And finally, I can actually relate to Snoopy.
ReplyDeleteTake good care of you, dear.
Thanks Elizabeth! I had fun with the Halloween piece. I thnk we can all relate to Snoopy! Hugs!
Delete...Valerie, you were busy this week, I could have never accomplished all of this. Yoou have a number of chuckles, thanks.
ReplyDeleteThanks Tom, have a great weekend!
DeleteI like your Halloween picture, especially with the line from the Beatles Blackbird song. I never thought of it as having a Halloween vibe, but I guess it does.
ReplyDeletebest… mae at maefood.blogspot.com
Thanks Mae. The witches surely wait for this moment! Have a great weekend!
DeleteBardzo ładne kartki, wesołe.
ReplyDeleteThanks so much, have a great weekend!
DeleteGreat funnies today Valerie! Made me giggle!! ☺☺ I LOVE your Keats piece, it's beautiful! And the Halloween house!!! Love it!!! ♥
ReplyDeleteThanks Rain, have a great weekend! Good luck with your projects!
DeleteThanks so much! Have a great weekend!
ReplyDeleteHaha! Great funnies, Valerie! And your art is wonderful! Now I have one of my favorite Beatle songs stuck in my head. Yay! The Yeats piece is lovely. I have to find out more about digital art. And you are a master at beautiful faces. I'm sorry that you are feeling very exhausted again. I'm sure you really related to Snoopy. I hope you feel more energy soon. Thanks for sharing your beautiful art in spite of it all! Take care!
ReplyDeleteThanks Louise, that song is an ear worm! Hope you are now feeling better. Have a great weekend! Hugs!
DeleteThat last "toilet" meme made me laugh. Also: "Worry less, smile more." How true!
ReplyDeleteIndeed! Have a great weekend!
ReplyDeleteLovely autumn page.
ReplyDeleteThanks Lin!
DeleteHi Valerie, more brilliant art work. I love it all but especially the way you used the photograph with the digi stuff, brilliant. Loving the funnies too. Have a lovely weekend. Hugs, Angela xXx
ReplyDeleteThanks Angela, have a great weekend 😀😀

Thanks So much!
DeleteYour Autumnal art is FABULOUS.
ReplyDeleteTake care and keep resting when you need to.
All the best Jan
Thanks, I'm resting!
DeleteSo, where does one start ... your artwork is wonderful. I love misty mornings and can't resist taking a photo every time I get up to one. Yours is lovely and the the poem perfect for it. I love what your face lady has to say ... so simple and yet profound. All of it is beautiful. So after a lifetime of waiting, you arrive as a witch :) That made me smile and your Thinkies and Funnies made me LOL ... especially your cat and his "Once Upon a Time" . I guess you have to live with a cat to know that that is not really funny, but it is really funny, Ha! Great post Valerie and rest well. We all need to take a break now and then ...
ReplyDeleteAndrea @ From the Sol
