2nd on the 2nd and TAD

Hi Everybody!

This week is flying by very quickly, where does the time go? September is already here, and the weather has a definite nip of autumn in the air, but I must confess that I love the colours of autumn!

Today is Elizabeth's 2nd on the 2nd, where we share art about which we have already blogged some time in the past. Rain's theme for her Thursday art date is Expressionism, so I am sharing some of my 'Knock-offs' made in past years for various challenges.  According to Wikipedia, "Expressionism is a modernist movement, initially in poetry and painting, originating in Northern Europe around the beginning of the 20th century. Its typical trait is to present the world solely from a subjective perspective, distorting it radically for emotional effect in order to evoke moods or ideas"

Van Gogh - these pictures are A3 mixed media using collage, acrylics, water colours and pastels:

The sower. This picture hangs in the Art Museum in Düsseldorf and I cant remember who the artist is, sorry! This was a collaged, patchwork piece:

And van Gogh again:

My boots instead of Vincent's:

Okay, if you're not asleep already, thanks for looking! No photos today, the post is already long enough!

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

New Challenge at AJJ - Vintage

Hi Everybody!

Today we are starting a new challenge at Art Journal Journey, and this time the lovely and talented Wendy is hosting, and has chosen  vintage as her theme, which gives us a wide scape to create our journal pages. The challenge runs for 4 weeks. And don't forget to look at the blogs of my teamies for more inspiration! And a BIG thank you to Neet who hosted the wonderful Tape challenge last month!

I made a hybrid page using a photo from Erika, a distant cousin:

There's already a touch of autumn in the air - morning mists, rain, and yellow leaves falling from the trees - happy September!

The horses are well wrapped up:

Early morning from my balcony!

Ships on the Rhine:

And some memes:

I can so relate to this one:

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