It's really a blessing for me to see how many wonderful pages are already linked to Elizabeth's wonderful theme of
COUNT YOUR BLESSINGS over at
Thanks to all who support our challenge so well each month!
A spread in my Letter Journal 4 for this lovely AJJ theme.
I fear it will be my last entry for this amazing theme. I really run out of time this month here with celebrations and guests and other lovely things one can enjoy in summer.
I wanted to use a mishappened portrait in a journal. I failed with her hair and never showed her on my blog and unfortunately I even can't find a picture of the portrait any more to show you how she looked like in original. Thank you for your lovely visit and your continued support of my blog! That means a lot to me!
MUCH
♥LOVE♥
FROM
SUSI
Wunderschön, liebe Susi ♥
ReplyDeleteThis is a beauty, Susi. The doodles you created on the left side of the page go well with the sentiment. That ties perfectly with the right side and your lovely lady. She looks beautiful and well done to me. I think she is a gem and so are you for creating this spread for my theme at Art Journal Journey.
ReplyDeleteI forgot to mention how much I liked how you framed the beautiful face you painted.
ReplyDeletewow this is just beautiful and lovely sentiment . You are really so artistic.xx
ReplyDeleteStunning portrait Susi! Happy days!
ReplyDeleteOh Susi I love this spread - the portrait is amazing, and I love how you have set out your quote. Enjoy the summer and your guests :)

This is a gorgeous piece Susi. Wow love that face. And the patterns you added really look good on there too. Even the scribble pattern. :)This has been a good challenge, hasn't it? It's good to be reminded to count our blessing every now and again because it is so easy to forget them on a daily basis when you are busy. Hope all is well.And you have been having some fun. Hugs-Erika
ReplyDeleteLiebe Susi,
ReplyDeleteklasse gemacht; ich wäre nicht auf so eine Idee gekommen!!! sehr schön.

Liebe Susi,
ReplyDeletedas ist wunderschön, wenn ich auch das Motto im Bild nicht so fühlen kann, wie ich es erwartet habe. Eher habe ich den Eindruck, dass da auch Dissonanzen vorhanden sind.
Vielmehr glaube ich, hast Du das Leben in seiner Gänze eingefangen. Das Leben, das eben nicht nur Freude kennt, sondern auch Leid. Aber ist es nicht auch so, dass die wirkliche Freude auch reifen muss, erst aus dem Leid erwächst.
So betrachtet liegt in Deinem Werk eine sehr große Tiefe, ein sehr großes Verständnis für das Leben und die Freude. Mich würde interessieren, wie Du Deine Bilder komponierst. Ist es ein bewusster Prozess? Oder ist es eher, was ich vermute, aus dem Bauch heraus.
Für mich ist es jedenfalls Kunst, weil mir so ein Bild sehr viel sagt und mich anspricht, weitaus mehr als so manches Werk eines namhaften Künstlers.
Ich wünsche Dir noch eine wunderschöne Restwoche.
Viele liebe Grüße
Wolfgang
this looks amazing...so well done. I just want to stare at it to see all the details and interest you added.

ReplyDeleteich möchte mich gern den worten von wolfgang anschließen,ich sehe es ganz ähnlich.

Eine sehr schön komponierte Seite. Das Gesicht hat ein lachendes und ein nachdenkliches Auge, sowie es im Leben nicht nur fröhliche Momente, sondern auch traurige oder schwierige Zeiten gibt. Man muss Beides annehmen um wirklich zu leben. Wenn man Schönheit in Beiden sehen kann, ist man weise und ruht in sich. Du siehst dein Bild und der Text regen zum genauen Hinsehen und Nachdenken an.
ReplyDeleteIch wünsche dir von Herzen Weisheit und Seelenfrieden.
Alles Liebe
Sabine
Ich freu mich wieder über ein Gesicht von dir - auch ohne Haare wunderschön! Lass dich nicht hetzen!
ReplyDeleteLiebe Grüße Ulrike, der auch die Zeit ständig davon läuft!
What a wonderful spread, Susi and I'm all over that quote. It's a knockout in every respect.
ReplyDeleteWow, Susi! This is one of your most beautiful pages! I love the beautiful face and the great sentiment. Kisses, my talented friend.
ReplyDeleteHow wonderful to turn something you thought was a failure into such a beautiful element on this page spread. The framing of the face in close-up is so effective, and I love the bright orange bubbles of joy, perfect with the wonderful words. Love love love these pages.

She really is a framed beauty Susi, I always say we should step away from what we may think is not working and look again another day as different mood and moments can change our view upon art as it can do in life.
ReplyDeleteThese pages really do warm my heart, I feel like I actually know her!!
Sorry I have not been around to visit over the past few days I have been away & since my return dealing with Kitchen chaos..
So glad I got the chance to pop on over.
Wishing you a very happy weekend Hugs Tracey xx
She's beautiful, Susi. What a lovely face and expression. The whole spread, with doodles and the terrific quote, is wonderful. You know how much I love your art. Hugs, Eileen
ReplyDeleteYou always create such beauty in your paintings! It was the perfect way to use this beautiful face and I love the fresh colours of the background, it's a joy to behold 😁.
