Happy Weekend

Hi Everybody!

It's weekend - enjoy! My week has been good on the whole, with lots of walks and mostly passable weather. Hope you had a great week, too.

Today I have one more tag to share for Wendy's theme 'Sea World' at Tag Tuesday. The quote is from Shakespeare's 'Tempest'. I combined elements 

from Serif and me:

This is an A3 mixed media collage using photos and magazine cut-outs on a painted and with scraps collaged background:

I have some photos from our walks from the past week. These were taken at a medieval castle in Ratingen:

A wonderful idea for a fence, here in front of a school:

That's all for today. Have a great day, take care,

and thanks a lot for coming by!

Mid week this and that

Hi Everybody!

We're still enjoying sunny and mostly dry weather here, but it is still rather cool and windy. But it's great for walking, and I have been doing a lot of that to take my mind off less pleasant things, so that was good. I averaged 18 kilometers a day last week, and this week has got off to a great start, too.

For this piece made a couple of weeks back I re-purposed an old canvas, giving it 3 coats of gesso before painting and collaging it new. I used Deco art fluid acrylics. The texture around the edges was made with coarse embossing paste into which I stamped and added some fine reflex pearls. It looks better now than the dark piece it was before. I will be linking to Paint Party Friday.

On m walks through our little town I noticed lots of  houses with the number 42, so these pics are just for those 'Hitchhikers' who are interested - now you know where to find the answers:

And now for some 'normal' walking photos.

The Nile goslings are almost fully grown:

Have a great day, take care,

and thanks a lot for coming by!
