Midweek Post

Hi Everybody!

I had a busy day today and did some much needed clearing, cleaning and organising. Now I have most of my paintings together in one place in my storage cupboard , and was then able to move a lot of clothes into the chest of drawers - and they´now look clean and tidy! This freed up a lot of space in my closet and I can now actually find things as they are nor buried under piles of other things. And I was astonished at how many Jeans, socks, pullovers etc I have....what a surprise! And this afternoon I did some painting and then it was feet-up time!

Today I have an A3 piece to share, which I started some years back and finished today - I found dozens of unfinished pieces while I was tidying so now I have plenty to do. Some years back I made a series of  Amedeo Modigliani 'knock - offs' and today I finished this one - the portrait of Madame Kisling. The pics are not good, It's very dark and wet here today and if I put the lights on they will be even worse! The flowers were not part of the  original concept, but they were flying around on my desk and I decided to use them:






These 2 have been hanging in my living room for the past 4 years:



I am linking to Aimeslee's  flowers challenge at AJJ.

And I have a tag with a hat for Michele's challenge at Tag Tuesday. The image is a photo of a grafitti in London:


Some funnies / thinkies:











And some photos from the past weeks:











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

T sTands for sTripes, doTs and sTress

Hi Everybody!

Here's wishing us all a good new week!

Today I am sharing a face with lots of dots, diamonds and colours - crazy, but I like it! I have made a few like this and will show them bit by bit, things are just rather stressful just now. This was painted with acrylics onto an A3 page:





And I magicked  some flowers onto it so I can link to Aimeslee's 'flowers' challenge at AJJ:


Some flower photos:








And this evening we will be celebrating Elizabeth's T sTands for Tuesday, where we share something drink related.

I can't find my drink pics today, so here ice and cappuccino from Café  Roma in Neuss taken some time back:






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

Weekend Post

Hi Everybody!

It's weekend - enjoy! I think many of us will be watching the coronation of King Charles III on Saturday, it will be a turbulent and exciting day.

For Aimeslee's  'flowers'challenge at AJJ I have another journal page made with a freebie from the Graphics Fairy. I placed the image on a hand painted background, and added the flowers, which were all hand painted. Then I added a sentiment, which is very fitting fot the world  just now:



And some photos from my walk today:










The blue fish reminded of the fish Erika showed this week:



Have a fun weekend, whatever you do!



And thanks a lot for coming by!
