Weekend this and that

Hi Everybody!

For Art Journal Journey, light and darkness, I have a hybrid piece,
using an old photo of a street corner in the East End 
of London, combined digitally 
with the grungy background:




I am sharing some more artwork from the K20 museum.
First of all, the one and only Marc Chagall:


This shows a Jewish man dressed in his 
prayer shawl (Tallith), and holding a Lulav 
( a bundle made up of branches of the palm, myrtle and 
willow trees) and an etrog, a sort of lemon,
symbolic fruits and plants which are
used in the Feast of Booths (Sukkoth):


 Ferdinand Leger:


And as a contrast, Joseph Beuys' 'Palazzo', where all of the 
objects in the room belong together:






I found it interesting, and I always love the white space,
but his assemblage is not quite my thing!

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

Friday art

Hi Everybody!

For Art Journal Journey, light and darkness, and for
Paint Party Friday I have another hybrid/ mixed media  piece. The background has been painted and collaged, and the figures painted with a home made template. I used a fancy mask to add it digitally to a water coloured background.




I am sharing some more pictures taken at the K20 museum
for art of the 20th century.
I love the spacious, white rooms. That climbing frame is 
supposed to be art, too....


Ellsworth Kelly:



 Jasper Johns:

 Kenneth Noland:

 An assemblage from Robert Rauschenberg called
'Inside out'





 Sam Francis:

Some general views of the room taken from the stairs:



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

Step into the light

Hi Everybody!

Today we are starting a new challenge at
Moo Mania and More
👉 Trees 👈

As always, you have 2 weeks to join us and projects of all
formats are allowed. My piece is also meant for
Art Journal Journey, light and darkness.
I made a hybrid piece combining a water coloured background, my photos of the moon and the young raven, and some digital add ons - tree and stars- from Mischief Circus and Serif:




Today I am sharing some classical paintings from the Kunstpalast museum, 
as I am always impressed how the artists managed to show 
light and darkness so well:









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