More Frost

Hi Everybody!
Hope your weekend has been enjoyable.

For Art Journal Journey, winter wonderland, I have another hybrid piece. The background is one of my frosty leaves photos. The little girl is a Banksy stencil from Stencilry, the bird one of my photos, and the quote from Robert Frost.




I love watching the world wake up each morning. In the summer I sit outside with my coffee, these days I prefer to stay inside:


The 'suns' are the lights from the airport:





The gulls were all standing like soldiers in a row:



There were, as always, lots of ships passing up and down the Rhine:


The majority are really huge:




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

Frost

Hi Everybody!

Hope your weekend is going well.

For Art Journal Journey, winter wonderland, I have another hybrid page, using a photo as background combined with an image from Gecko Galz and  snow flake frame. The quote is from Robert Frost.




Today was cold and frosty with blue skies and blue water:









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

More birds

Hi Everybody!

It's weekend - have a good one!

For Art Journal Journey, winter wonderland, I made a hybrid photo collage using a photo from my lovely blogger friend, Carolyn, who takes wonderful photos, and makes fabulous artwork and digital work. The background of my hybrid piece was painted with acrylics. I always love watching the wild geese, and was very happy when dear Carolyn sent me the photo! Thanks for the permission to use it.




And this hybrid collage was made just for fun, I needed a break from winter!



Today was another very mixed day with blue skies, grey clouds and lots of wind.

I love these old trailers:


The heron put himself in scene again today:




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

Cold Blue

Hi Everybody, it's Friday again!

That means it's time for Paint Party Friday and Kim's show Your face, and everyday is the right time for Art Journal Journey, winter wonderland.

I painted an A3 sheet with various blues,  white and silver. I drew the face with black ink. I added some shading in blue, and painted her hair, eyebrows and lips with silver metallic from Vivacolor. I added some touches of diamond Stickles on her lashes and hair, and the quote. Then I sprayed some white glimmer mist and let it run down over her face.










Today was sunny/windy/ cold/dry/wet in quick succession. I enjoyed my walk along the Rhine, watching the clouds, birds and ships.




This cloud looks to me like a face with a big nose in profile, looking to the right - can you see it too?






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