Hi Everybody!
Here's to a great weekend for us all, and to peace and safety for this world, which is once again being torn apart by wars started by evil people, for example in Ukraine and in Israel.
I am sharing 2 more pieces made in the LB taster sessions. This is my version of #TamaraLaport's autumn face, I always love the colours of Autumn:
This was the lesson from #AngelaMurray. I had fun making it, but it turned out a tad too bright and colourful, you need shades to look at it! But I tried!
This was the sunrise on Tuesday, so beautiful. Nature is definely the best artist!
These photos were taken at the Rhine this morning when I went to do my shopping. It all looks grey in grey without the sun. But I like to visit the river every day when I can. But it is a bumpy walk over the cobble stones to get there with my rollator!
And of course, I ouldn't go past the bakery without having a cappuccino.... On the left of the counter, underneath, are some pink glazed donuts. They are sold in aid of breast-cancer support:
This was not taken at the Rhine, I think it must be a fake, but it's funny:
And more thinkies / funnies:
Have a great weekend, take care,
And thanks a lot for coming by!
Great autumn related face and a very colorful creation with those vivid colors too. Wishing you a great crafty weekend with some nice warming cappuccino.
ReplyDeleteThanks Carol, I had a lovel Cappuccino at the bakery this morning. Enjoy your weekend, hugs, Valerie
DeleteLove your art work Valerie, especially the bright piece! Lovely photos of the Rhine and great funnies. Thank you for visiting my blog and your lovely comments.
ReplyDeleteThanks Sue. The Rhine is always lovely, even on grey days! Enjoy your weekend, hugs, Valerie
DeleteI am so in the mood for being surrounded with orange for fall! Your artwork is stunning and cheerful and your photos lovely. Of course I always look forward to the funnies for a good chuckle. Thanks.
ReplyDeleteThanks Judee, glad you enjoy the funnies! Enjoy your weekend, hugs!
DeleteI love that face all dressed in orange. Really nice. The Rhine is lovely. You do live in a beautiful area.
ReplyDeleteThanks so much, I love these colours. And I always love the Rhine! Enjoy your weekend, hugs, Valerie
DeleteAlways relaxing to watch the sunset. Love these colors here. Hope you have a good weekend.
ReplyDeleteThanks so much Lux. We need colour in our lives! Enjoy your weekend, hugs!
DeleteThe adornment on that lady’s neck looks suspiciously like a maple leaf, Valerie, so immediately my patriotic Canadian heart started to beat a little faster, and her already magnetic allure increased exponentially. Perhaps that’s the spot where her beaus are invited to place their kiss. It’s good that you have your art to turn to in times of extreme distress like this. It must be therapeutic to at least some degree, although it’s impossible to ignore what is happening in Israel and Gaza, and the scale of human suffering is beyond comprehension. What strange gene is it that humans have that motivates them over and over again to savagely attack each other and inflict such barbarism? Perhaps this weekend you will be lunching with Heike and that will be at least a diversion for a while. Stay well. Hugs and kisses - David
ReplyDeleteI love those red maple leaves, and for me they are a sign of autumn! I need to do something to keep myself busy just now, it helps me to keep my mind off things, at least for a short time. And the sight of all those Palestinians travelling to the south is also heart-breaking, so many people in danger because of those hateful mosters in the Hamas.
DeleteI wish you a great weekend, take care, have fun birding! BIG hugs xxxxxxx
Hi Val, I'm a bit late today, I've been doing the photos for my project, they're more or less done. Now I have to go throught them, sort out the ones I want, and then edit them. It will keep me busy for this afternoon and tomorrow. Good that the kids are all at leah's this weekend! Love your art, as always, especially the beautiful face, which I love. Have a great weekend, hugs, Sarah
ReplyDeleteHi Sarah, don't apologise, I know how much you need to do over the weekend, and I'm sure you have a huge amount of photos to go through. Look after yourself, hugs!
DeleteThanks so much! Enjoy your weekend, hugs, Valerie
ReplyDeleteLove both of your colour palettes, I'm a. I'm afraid I didn't do anything for this year's LB tasters. The Muse just hasn't been with me now for a couple of weeks. Hope you have a good weekend, hugs Deb.
ReplyDeleteThnaks Deb, sometimes it's just not possible to do anything. Rest and be well, your muse will come back to you. I need to rest, I've been doing too much these past couple of weeks and now I'm noticing it! Hugs!
DeleteLovely fall art Valerie and glad you are enjoying your course. Thanks for the hilarious funnies! Beautiful sunrise and love the bakery goods.
ReplyDeleteGlad you liked the funnies! Have a great weekend, hugs!
DeleteLove the face and Autumn colours, we had a beautiful sunset last night -first for a long time,love the Opal and Earl funnies.Don't think there will ever be peace in the world!
ReplyDeleteCarol x
Thanks Carol, glad you had a lovely sunset. Yes, those funnies are good! Peace on earth - but when? Hugs!
DeleteI have been glued to the news and finally took a break from it watching Hallmark mystery reruns because I know everything will come out OK and I don't have to think. Pathetic, yes? But that's what our world has driven us to. I love your art piece tday and yes, so good to work art when there is such pain in the world.
ReplyDeleteAt the moment I can't think straight. It is all so awful. The world is really crazy.
DeleteOur world is not in a good place at the moment, to say it is concerning is an understatement! I just do my best to make my small part of the world especially my family (and friends) an okay place to be and let them know I love and appreciate them.
ReplyDeleteI liked your art today and the photographs are great.
Such a good selection of funnies too.
Take good care and have a restful Sunday.
All the best Jan
Thanks Jan, look after yourself! Huhs!
DeleteValerie, you did a fab job with Tamara's face. And the abstract too. Beautiful! Hope you have a restful Sunday, xoxo
ReplyDeleteThanks Aimeslee, I had fun painting it! You have a great Sunday, too!
DeleteYour paintings are so lovely Valerie-even the bright one. So you have to wear sunglasses- hee-hee. It looks like you had fun and enjoyed yourself. And right now some pink donuts would taste good; it's just my usual breakfast shake this morning. I love the face-those green eyes are perfect for the autumn colors you chose. I hope you are having a wonderful Sunday. I want mine to be low key! hugs-Erika
ReplyDeleteThanks Erika, glad you like my pages. I am having a low key Sunday, too. Stayed in bed till 2 p.m. and today I'm not going anywhere, just being at home painting etc - lovely! Have a great day!
DeleteYou had me at the Cat Joke Meme...
ReplyDeleteThanks Dawn, it really is good! Have a great Sunday!
DeleteHi Val, happy Sunday! I have been busy painting the bathroom, it needed it!. The little one leaves his fingerprints everywhere. Hope you are feeling well! Hugs, Martha
ReplyDeleteThanks Martha, hugs!
DeleteAll things bright and beautiful and I love your abstract piece Valerie and I LOVE your lady in the hot oranges, she is beautiful..
ReplyDeleteLuv CHRISSYxx
Thanks Chrissy, have a great day. Hugs!
