Lots of colour

Hi Everybody!

For Yvonne's 'colour in my world' theme at Art Journal Journey
I have an A5 mixed media piece. The image is a 1930's
b/w postcard from Georg Kolbe, coloured with oil pastels
and sewn onto various backgrounds. I am not a fan of these
'heroic' statues he made, but think the colours change them enough
to make them palatable for me:

For Tag Tuesday, Michele's theme of 'Back to school' I have one more

tag, using a Gecko Galz image coloured with brush pens. I am

also linking to Simon Monday challenge, school or study

related:

And last not least some photos taken in the woods at Hösel, at

a farm we visited to buy eggs and in Kettwig:

Have a great day, take care,

and thanks a lot for coming by!

2nd on the 2nd - a blast from the past

Hi Everybody!

Today it's Elizabeth's '2nd on the 2nd' where we re-show

a post made previously.

This mixed media and collaged canvas, 30" square, was made in 2015,
and is one I like very much. I wanted to give the feeling of
autumn leaves,

first frost etc.

The photos are all from 2015, too:

Have a great day, take care,

and thanks a lot for coming by!

Friday this and that

Hi Everybody!

For Paint Party Friday I have an A4 mixed media piece,

once again using a photo of my great Auntie Fanny.

 I collaged her photo and all the fabric, lace, netting and feathers

etc onto a hand-painted background. I am also linking to 

Art Journal Journey, Yvonne's lovely theme of 'colour in my world'. 

The photo was printed onto a transparency and placed 

over a piece of collaged and stamped canvas.

These photos were taken on a trip into Düsseldorf last year, where I had

 time after an appointment to take some photos of the Altstadt. I don't 

go there often as there's always too much going on for my taste,

I prefer our quiet little place:

The Town Hall (Rathaus)

Jan Wellem (the one who had our castle destroyed!):

Have a great day, take care,

and thanks a lot for coming by!
