T sTands for Tuesday on Monday

Hi Everybody!

Hope you all enjoyed - or are still enjoying your weekend for those celebrating Labor Day in the States and Labour Day in Canada . David, I hope you now feel pacified!
Today I have a hybrid piece for Neet's fur or feathers challenge at AJJ. Hybrid is a mix of hands-on cafting, photography and digital elements put together in a graphic s programme. As you see, I have gone with feathers:

This evening we will also be celebrating Elizabeth's T sTands for Tuesday drink meet up, so here a warm welcome to all of the lovely ladies of the T Gang who visit here.

This painting is by Henry Nelson O'Neil:

And some photos from the ornate Barocke palace in Benrath which is in the south of Düsseldorf:

Have a great day, take care,

Weekend Post

Hi Everybody!

Here's wishing us all a great weekend and to all in the States a happy Labor Day weekend. Here I am looking forward to a lazy weekend with some painting,  drinking coffee and talking to friends.

Today I am sharing another piece for Neet's fur or feathers challenge at AJJ. This is an A3 collage with lots of stenciling and a piece of tissue paper from Jane Davenport, with an image which I painted over.. The strange creature on the right was a magazine cut out of a highly magnified bug, which definitely has furry legs. And on the left is a dream catcher with 3 feathers. Sorry the photos aren't so good, it's difficult when I have the shakes! And I am trying to accept my shaky fingers and the sometimes poor results.

And I have some funnies and thinkies:

Have a great weekend, take care,

and thanks a lot for coming by!

2nd on the 2nd of September

 Hi Everybody!

Today is the 2nd of September, and that means it's time for Elizabeth's 2nd on the 2nd where we show things we have previously blogged. These journal pages are mostly from 2014 - 2016. Many are a combination of painting combined with photos, and all show birds. I am also linking to Nicole's FFO and Gillena's Friday fun:

Here are some of my silly birds:

This is one of my van Gogh knock-offs:

Back to ancient Egypt:

If you're still awake after so many pictures, well done!

Have a great day, take care,

and thanks a lot for coming by!

New challenge at Art Journal Journey

Hi Everybody!

Today we are starting a new challenge at AJJ and this time the lovely Neet  of Hickydorums is hosting, and her theme is  fur or feathers. This can apply to animals and birds and any other things made of fur or feathers. Have a look at our blog and read what Neet has said.

I am starting off with an A3 journal page of watercoloured feathers inspired by a mindfulness lesson. The words I have used are from Karmand Kojouri. I added some tiny feathers, too. I mostly stick to acryl  painting, but using water colours and a smaller brush enables me to slow down a bit:

And some of the feathered creatures who live here:

That's all for today. We are looking forward to seeing your entries for Neet's theme.

Have a great day, take care,

and thanks a lot for coming by!
