Weekend Post

Hi Everybody!
It's weekend, enjoy! 

Today I am sharing a colourful A3 mixed media piece. The background was painted over a brush- and brayer-wipe page, and I used cut-outs from magazines to collage it, plus a couple of heads from my stash - sounds brutal, doesn't it?! The wavy lines were cut from a piece of painted paper, and the sentiment was stenciled. I'm sure I don't need to tell you which song it's from! I am linking to Neet's type challenge at AJJ:

I made a mistake while doing the text, and had to paint over it. If you look carefully you can see it! But the unevenly spaced letters were meant to be so - not all types are straight types:

And I have another tag for Michele's blue and orange challenge at Tag Tuesday:

Some photos from the past week. We had lots of clouds and some blue skies:

And then very heavy rain again:

And raindrops on the flowers:

Have a great weekend, take care,

and thanks a lot for coming by!

Thursday / Friday Post

Hi Everybody!

Today I have another A3 mixed media collage which I am linking to Neet's type challenge at AJJ and to Paint Party Friday. It's rather bright, you might just need your shades:

Rain's Thursday art date this week is weather and weather lore. I have chosen some photos showing my fave types of weather.

I love frost and mist, which often go hand in hand here, and if I wake to a scene like this I pack myself in warm clothes and go out and take photos, even before I drink my coffee:

We also have lots of clouds and sunshine:

Sometimes there's snow:

And lately we had enormous amounts of storms, rain and destruction from the floods here, and in other countries many people have lost everything in the devastating fires. If we don't all start to do something to save the climate  now it will be too late. I'm not showing the photos again, but I think most people have already seen them:

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

Midweek Post -Strange types

Hi Everybody!

Where does the time go?  I wish I knew!

Today I have another tag for Michele's challenge at Tag Tuesday. I used an image from Gecko Galz on an orange, striped tag and added a blue butterfly and flower:

And I have another of my strange types, collaged with a jacket onto a painted background. I love the quote! I am linking to Neet's type challenge at AJJ:

And I have some strange types I found at the Art Museum in Düsseldorf:

Have a great day, take care,

and thanks a lot for coming by!
