New challenge at Art Journal Journey - Geometric shapes/ forms

Hi Everybody!

Today we are starting a new challenge at AJJ and this time I am hosting . But first I would like to thank Chris for her fun theme 'On all fours', which I enjoyed very much!

My theme is asking for any sort of geometric shapes - circles, squares, triangles, lines, curves, spots, dots, stripes - this is a great theme to mix and match! For my first piece I have used lots of circles. The background is handpainted, as are the circles:

I am very much looking forward to seeing your takes on this theme!

And I have some pictures of the clinic here where I have been staying the past weeks. The first 2 pictures were taken by the Rhine:

And I just had to go to the bakery for my coffee....

The staff here decorated the place beautifully for Easter, and we each got an Easter nest filled with chocolate goodies. The table and rooms were all beautifully decorated:

This and That for Thursday and Friday

Hi Everybody!

Just another short post, sorry, too much to do and not enough hours in the day to do it. BUT - I hope to be able to go home next Thursday, on April 4th, so that's something.

Today I have another hybrid piece for Chris' On all fours challenge at AJJ:

And for Nicole's FFO and Gillena's AFFF I have some old family photos:

Take care, and thanks a lot for coming by!

Hi Everybody!

Hope you all had a great weekend and are now ready for the new week ahead. I'm not! Today I have hybrid pieces for 2 challenges . The first is for Chris' challenge at AJJ - 0n all fours. I have lots of little, four-footed creatures, some of which are from Beatrice Potter:

And for Michele's challenge at Tag Tuesday I have a tag using a gothic doorway:

I took more flowers in the garden, but can't find them!

And some funnies / thinkies:

From David Zinn:

A friend asked me to paint her horse. OMG, not the sort of face I am good at. I hope the horse won't shout at me if I ever get to see it! This is the first try, I will keep going till it looks better!

And this was a lesson from Ida Anderson:

Have a great start in the new week!

Take care, and thanks a lot  for coming by!
