Weekend Post

Hi Everybody!

Here's wishing us all a good and peaceful weekend. I hope those of you living in the USA are feeling safe again after that terrible and unprecedented attack on the Capitol, which was a threat to the home of democracy and affects us all. I hope something like that will not happen again.

Today I am sharing another tag made for Pinky's numbers challenge at Tag Tuesday:



Today I am sharing some paintings from a local artist, Ferdinand Paethel, shown at an exhibition in our little library. Only one painting is not of Düsseldorf, I think you will notice which one:

Panorama from the Rhine, where many sights have been re-arranged to fit into one picture:


The view from Königs Allee towards Schadow Strasse:

The Altstadt (old town):


The Gehry Houses in the old harbour:



Saint Lambertus Church with the crooked spire and the lantern parade on St Martin's Day:


A street café:


Along the Düssel, the stream which gave Düsseldorf its name:


I think you can guess this one:


Another part of the stream:


And last but not least, our library:


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

Thursday/Friday

Hi Everybody!

Hope you are all doing well and staying safe. 

Today I am sharing a piece meant for Erika's 'my favourite things' challenge at AJJ and for Paint Party Friday. Blue, gold  and green are always favourites, and circles, too. Here I painted the circles onto an A3 page with blue background.  I added some stenciled stars  and splodges and wrote quotes about circles with gold pen:





Today I am showing some of my favourite sky photos from last year:





















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

New Challenge at More Mixed Media

Hi Everybody!

Yesterday we started a new challenge at More Mixed Media Blog 

As always, our challenges are anything mixed media goes with an optional colour - blue. You have 4 weeks to join us and I hope to see you there!

I am showing a mixed media piece made after a lesson in the Lifebook taster course, an abstract painted in water colours with added college:






As I have used some of my fave colours I am linking to Erika's challenge at AJJ

We always have lots of beautiful flowers in the clinic:
