New Challenge at Art Journal Journey - Above us only sky

Hi Everybody!

Today we are starting a new challenge at AJJ, and this time the lovely Wendy of Wendy's Art and Craft Journal  is our host. The theme - above us only sky - is the title of a Beatle's song. You can read more about it on our Blog AJJ.

And I would like to thank Jo for hosting last month and for all of the beautiful pages she created.

When I think of sky I always think of the paintings of van Gogh, and my first piece is a 'knock off'' of his starry night painting. I drew it using soft pastels. Then I added the tree at the front, the text, and the naked lady digitally. The lady is a pastel painting  made back in the 1990s. I love to combine things this way to make hybrid projects:

And I have some sky photos taken here at various times:

I hope to see lots off you joining in with this challenge, and look forward to seeing your creations. And above all have fun!

Have a great day,  take care,

And thanks a lot for coming by!

T sTands for Tuesday on Monday

Hi Everybody!

This will be a short T Post as I have a nasty cold and cough and need to get back to my bed.

I have a new journal page for Jo's challenge at AJJ.
The owl postcard on the right is a Freebie from the Graphics Fairy:

This evening we will start celebrating Elizabeth's drink party, so here a warm welcome to the ladies of the T Gang who visit here.

My drink is coffee, as always:

Wishing you a Happy T Day,  a good, new week ,
And thanks a lot for coming by!

Weekend Post

Hi Everybody!

It's weekend, enjoy!

Today I'm bringing you some of my 'Knock Offs' - my version of some famous paintings.

The bird and the sun are from Braque:

This is from Picasso, and I cannot like it because I do not like to see animals senselessly slaughtered for fun:

This Photos is the Lifesaver Fountain in Duisburg, a neighbouring town, and I love it. It is from Nicki de Saint Phalle, an artist who made these overlarge representations of female bodies. You will not see any super thin figures here:

These are all my interpretations of her work:

And I have 2 glass sculptures of the Nickis:

Mona Lisa from the one and only da Vinci

Andie Warhol:

Klimt (I was not happy with this one)

Matisse:

Miro ( inside my heads)

And some funnies / thinkies:

Have a great weekend, take care,

And thanks a lot for coming by!
