Looking to the skies

Hi Everybody!

Today I have a masculine collage for Art Journal Journey. I made a hybrid collage using a painted and textured background, and some of the good looking men I cut out of a prospect some days back .

We had several days with blue skies and I had fun taking pictures of the wonderful skies:

This bird turned round as I took the photo:

And the gulls have the last word again:

Have a great day you all, take care,

and thanks a lot for coming by!

Saturday this and that

Hi Everybody!

It's weekend - have a good one!

For 99 faces and Art Journal Journey, collage, I made a face and collaged the sentiment. I made a series of these monochrome, rather old-fashioned faces in various colours, this is the second one. I drew her with black ink and painted her with water-colours. The quote is from Marilyn Monroe.

 

The photos were taken yesterday when the sun was shining, and once again I saw lots of birds which caught my eye.

The cormorant was drying his wings, which always looks like he's greeting the sun - perhaps he is.

And the gulls have the last word again:

Have a great day you all, take care, 

and thanks a lot for coming by!

A face and a collage

Hi Everybody!

It's Friday already - where did the week go?

For Paint Party Friday, Art Journal Journey, collage, 99 faces and Kim's show your face I have a mixed media face and a collage.

The face was drawn with black onto printed cardstock. I added some random stamping, and painted the face and one of the flowers with water colours.

Then I used the face as part of a collage, digitally adding a document as background, a nude painting made many years back, some bird photos and a telephone . And I placed Leonardo's Vitruvian man onto the eye.

We had a cold and frosty day here, with lots of sunshine, and wonderful skies all day, so I ran round with my camera pointing skywards to catch some impressions. The photos here were all taken during half an hour before sunrise, with the colours changing in intensity and hue all the time.

Have a great day you all, take care, 

and thanks a lot for coming by.

A face, sky and water

Hi Everybody!

The week is speeding by again, and I ask myself once more

where my time goes....

For Art Journal Journey, collage, and 99 Faces I have a face with some collaged elements. The background is an A3 brush-wipe page, onto which I did some random background stamping. I drew a simple profile with black ink and coloured the face with turquoise water-colour to tone with the background. I collaged the sentiment, some washi tapes, a butterfly and some paper scraps, as well as the pen nibs, which are also made from paper.

I am also linking to Kim Dellow's Show your face.

This morning was cloudy and misty, and then the sun rose up and dispelled all the grey

This doggie went for a swim and dozens of ducks and geese took off squawking very indignantly

The stream which flows into the Rhine is full so the water is nice and wild

And once again the gulls are the stars of the show:

Have a great day you all, take care,

and thanks a lot for coming by!
