Fairies and faces

Hi Everybody!

I have enjoyed a restful weekend. I went for a walk yesterday,

and had a pyjama day today, so feel more rested

and ready to get through the last 2

days of Rehab/Boot Camp.

For Art Journal Journey, if you go down to the woods, I have another hybrid page, using a painted background layered with an old document, a photo of a bird and branch, and some digital add ons.

This is one of the doodle drawings I made while I was in hospital. It was not easy drawing in bed, I just used a graphite stick as I didn't

want to make a mess with colours. I was planning on doing a few alterations, but have decided to leave them as they are. I am linking to

99 faces - 4 on one page!

Yesterday and Friday we had lots of morning mist, but I like the way the mist sucks the colour out of the world.

Have a good start in the new week, take care,

and thanks a lot for coming by!

This and that for the weekend

Hi Everybody!

Thanks to those who wrote and asked what was up when I didn't

post a blog for today! I was so exhausted after the Boot Camp yesterday

that I was not able to sit down and write a post, all I could do was to

crawl into my bed - sorry! Now I am enjoying the weekend!

For Art Journal Journey,  If you go down to the woods, I made a hybrid piece, using a water colour background that I made back in 1992. The bears are once again trying to have a fun picnic. My Mum and I are hiding behind a tree stump having a laugh at the proceedings.

For 99 faces I have made a hybrid remake of a painting I made some years back for a journal cover:

Still looking for signs of spring here, but not many new ones just now, it's been too cold and frosty:

Have a great weekend you all, take care,

and thanks a lot for coming by!

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:

The last photos from the weekend walk:

Have a good day you all, take care,

and thanks a lot for coming by!
