Wild for the weekend

Hi Everybody!

Here's wishing us all a good weekend. I'm looking forward to a quiet one, with time for painting, reading and going for walks. 

Today I have another A3 piece made with lots of paint and it is really wild. I started it some time back, and now I have finished it and used up lots of paint that was getting dry. The writing round the edge says:

The ever turning circle of life and colour -  always changing, never stopping, regulating life and death:




I hope this piece is wild enough to join Jo's 'beautifully wild' challenge  at AJJ:

And as always I have some photos, funnies, thinkies and Zinnis:
















Have a great weekend, take care,
And thanks a lot for coming by!

New challenge at AJJ - Wonderfully wild

Hi Everybody!

Today we are beginning a new challenge at Art Jouney Journal , and this time the lovely and talented Jo from  Let'sArt Journal is our host. Thanks to Halle of Halle's Hobbies, who hosted last month's theme!

For my interpretation of this theme I have a collage. The background is a large, 12" page from La Blanche, and I collaged 2 laughing zebra's. I cut into the mane of the Zebra on the left and 'dressed' it to look a bit wild:





And I have some not so wild pictures taken this morning when I was in Düsseldorf for an appointment:

The flowers and little park are at the end of König's Allee, the most exclusive street in town, and mostly very expensive. And no, I don't shop there! Usually there are people sitting on the grass but it was too early for that this morning!










Some of the new buildings are architecturally interesting, but that doesn't mean that I like them!



Mr Schadow also gave his name to another shopping street:


I like the look of this stange pyramid, but haven't walked up it yet:




And some fcunnies and thinkies:








I will also be linking to Nicole's FFO and Gillena's AFFF

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

Monday / Tuesday Post - Mixed Bag

Hi Everybody!

Once again the day has run away from me. I went out for a meal with Heike at the Pizzeria, and it was most enjoyable. We had cappuccino and Tartufo iceceam for desert, so it was very, very good! Then when I was home I had a Zoom Meeting with a friend in England, and that was great, too.

So now I need to do a quick post....First of allI have a piece for Halle's 'I've got a Notion' challenge at AJJ:


And I have now finished this face, and am still not happy with it. I think I showed it as a WIP a couple of weeks back. But I'm not going to do any more!



This next piece is for my  'summer Holidays' tag challenge at Tag Tuesday, which runs for another week:
Last week I said I would show you my very favourite place in the world, and of course, it's London. I was born near the Tower of London, and even though I like Germany, I still miss London very much. And the Queen! Nothing against Charles and Camilla, but the Queen is not replaceable:


This board is hanging in my kitchen:


A coffee for Elizabeth's T sTands for Tuesday tomorrow, although I don't know if I will manage to join in:


I love this wonky cup, too:


This is a small mixed media dragonfly:





And some funnies and thinkies:












Have a great start in the new week, take care,
And thanks a lot for coming by!
