Another Van Gogh 'knock off'

Hi Everybody!

For Paint Party Friday and 99 faces I have combined 2 of my Van Gogh 'knock offs' to make one new picture, as Reha/Boot Camp has taken all my strength and energy this week. Just 3 more days, and then I will be finished and can get back to my quieter life. The background was painted with acrylics and the details drawn with pastel chalks and white Pentel pen. The head of Van Gogh was painted with water colours and pastel chalks.

The only photos I managed to take this week were of the sunrise and birds waiting outside for my 'breakfast bar' to open!

Have a great day you all, take care

and thanks a lot for coming by!

Green

Hi Everybody!

Happy St Patrick's Day to all who celebrate it!

I am also linking to Art Journal Journey, if you go down to the woods.

Mama Bear is evidently Irish....

And for 99 faces a lace-face with lots of green and blue....

Rehab/Boot camp is still very hard, and my knee is still painful and swollen,

but I can walk better from day to day, so I am hopeful

that it will be really better in a few weeks.

11 days down - 4 to go!

And last but not least some spring photos, taken last year - it's so hard to wait!

Have a great day you all, take care,

and thanks a lot for coming by!

More bears

Hi Everybody!

Short post today, boot camp was hard, and I need rest!

For Art Journal Journey, if you go down to the woods, the bears are back again:

Have a good day you all, take care,

New challenge at TIOT

Hi Everybody!

Today was another hard day at the Boot Camp, rehab, but I am getting stronger

from day to day, and that's why I'm there. 9 days down, 6 still to go!

Today we are starting a new challenge at Try it on Tuesday

and our theme is Nature. As always, projects of all sorts are allowed, and you

have 2 weeks to get creative, and to link your creation  to us.

I made a hybrid piece using one of my photos taken at the Rhine, text and a mask.

And it's Tea stands for Tuesday, my drink is coffee, and a hearty welcome to Elisabeth and the T gang! Help yourselves to lemon cake!

For 99 faces I have another hybrid piece, using a mixed media background,  a Frida Kahlo stencil with lace(stencilry) and a bird photo.

The photos were taken on my Sunday walk:

Have a great day, take care,

and thanks a lot for coming by!

Norwegian Wood

Hi Everybody!

Hope you all enjoyed your weekend. We had another cold and sunny day here,

and I was able to go walking again along my beloved Rhine,

so I was really happy. On Monday it's back to Boot Camp/Rehab and 6 hours of intensive training. But it is helping, so that's the main thing!

For Art Journal Journey, if you go down to the woods, I 

made another hybrid piece, a little blast from the past, using a stencil (stencilry)

of John Lennon over a wooded background.

I am also linking to 99 faces (face 78)

And to get you into the 60s mood:

The day started with a beautiful sunrise:

Mrs Thrush was once again the first in the queue for breakfast:

Along the Rhine:

In the castle grounds:

Have a wonderful day, take care,

and thanks a lot for coming by!
