New Challenge at Art Journal Journey - All About Numbers

Hi Everybody!

Today we are starting a new challenge at AJJ and this time the lovely Matilde  of Craftowanie is our hostess. Her theme is All about numbers, so please look at the AJJ blog to find out more about it. Welcome Martina, and enjoy your month with us!

I have a hybrid piece today, a mix of painting, photos and some digital elements:



Some funnies / thinkies:






And some photos from my little world:






Sorry David, the Canada geese are having a rest today! But I have some beautiful Nile Geese:




And a lovely duck:



I love wtaching the sheep on the meadows along the Rhine:








I am also linking to Nicole's FFO and
Gillena's AFFF

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

    Yours is the fourth blog I've visited today that has a butterfly. I really like the flowers and the numbers that are subtle. You have given us a great first entry for Matilde's theme at AJJ.

    I especially liked your thinkies and funnies this time. And that last photo of the sheep. that looks like a very pregnant mother to be.

    The Annual 61 day ICAD begins today too! My, those Nile Geese are positively elegant. Why, they are even poised as if fresh from drawings of ancient Egypt! Hugs, Deb

    What a lovely page for June. The garden is amazing and I like the eye just peeking through. 👍. And all the sheep. Here Iceland there are many sheep including lots of adorable little lambs. They are running and jumping in the green fields. And mostly
    Twins too. I wonder how that happens or so sheep often give birth to twins? I don’t know. Happy June to you Valerie. Have a wonderful
    Start to the month hugs Erila

    Good morning, Valerie. Your numbers are very carefully situated as to be almost camouflaged, so I think it's very interesting that you incorporated the theme in this manner. It's a reflection of nature in a vague sort of way. Speaking of nature, I have to say that your Nile Geese are very handsome indeed, and quite welcome this morning instead of the normal array of Canada Geese. As long as we know who is superior, that's all that counts. I am quite sure the Canada Geese are magnanimous and willing to let the others have a moment of glory. Surely one of the true signs of spring is the appearance of little lambs, and don't they just look sweet? I bet every cell phone that passed by was whipped out for a photograph or two. Who can resist? I hope you are well and feeling a little spry this morning. Meet Heike for a coffee, discuss the affairs of the world and put them all in order, and we will all be thankful. Hugs and kisses - David

    Sheep always seem so peaceful and idyllic. Your photos make them look really clean and beautiful, though I don’t think they are in reality very clean. It’s great that your environment is so full of flowers. Our neighborhood is also full of flowers now — but that doesn't really last all summer.

    The quotes are so on point today! Especially the one about pretending to be NORMAL, as well as the one about "this planet as a lunatic asylum." Ha ha

    Hello Valerie, hope you've had a nice start to the month. A very dream-like page, the numbers aren't immediately seen. I don't blame you being partial to the sheep. XOX

    Your hybrid piece has a light cheeriness about it except the look on the face belies cheeriness . And do we not all pretend to be normal ... whatever normal means to any of us :) Your Funnies and Thinkies are profound this week. I love the one about the lunatic asylum ... where on earth do you find these. You must have a secret source :) Your photography is wonderful and I love the sheep and especially the little black sheep who will spend his life reminding people who and who is not a black sheep in their family :) And I can't end without mentioning the beautiful Nile geese ... I suppose we have thought the Canada Geese beautiful until we saw this beautiful Nile Goose ... everything is relative, right? Happy summer days to you, Valerie ...

    I love your hybrid piece, I do like how you put things together - in particular the flower in the place of the eye. Very artistic and full of lovely images and colour.
