Art Journal Page and Photograph

Hello All. Sorry I haven't posted much recently but we have been going here and there for days as there was a special offer on rail tickets in our weekly paper and we couldn't resist using them. Neighbours gave us theirs as well as all of them have cars and never think of using the train.

Here is a photograph of part of our station that Vic took on his phone when we went ' travelling' on Wednesday. It was a very wet and dark morning but didn't dampen our spirits at all. The station is always full of flowers everywhere you look, both in summer and winter, outside and inside. The little cafe is amazing with all sorts of wonders to look at inside. Yesterday we went to Sheffield to see one of my aunts that is 90 next week. Next Wednesday we are going to Leeds to see one of Vic's aunt who was 80 last years and the week after we are going to York, just because we love to go there.

Architecture at Art Journal Journey is attracting some amazing entries and all very different styles from the different people.



Here is my page for today. I used a photograph we took of York Minster but made it thinner to fit the A4 size.I used effects to make it look like a sketch and also added an extra image of the Rose Window which is amazing in real life and especially on a sunny day as the colours show up so well from inside the Minster.

Hope you have a lovely day and the sun is shining as it is here. Thank you for calling in.

Love Chrissie xx

    It's much nicer to go 'travelling' than staying at home Chrissie - and such a lovely station with all those flowers.
    Love the way you've altered the picture of the Minster.
    Have a great weekend.d

    How lucky that your neighbours didn't want the tickets. I enjoyed reading your post and looking at these great pictures.

    Hello Chrissie, don't know how I managed to miss this.
    That's great the way you have "made" the pencil sketch, looks really authentic.
    Hope you had a good day at York.

Hi All. Thank you for visiting today and I hope you like what you see here. A fine bright day but colder today so I may fit in a walk later though I had some curtains to make before I do anything else. At Tag Tuesday this week the theme is Diva. I don't always remember to show my tags for there as you need to be a member and and do your own posts on Tag Tuesday's blog. I chose Elizabeth Taylor as my Diva she was so beautiful in films but definitely a Diva in her private life. Art Journal Journey are still drawing me in with the artists inspired theme so here is yet another page for the challenge there.  This was inspired by Damien Hirst though years ago I didn't feel inspired by his work at all when I saw some of it for real at the Liverpool Tate Gallery. We had gone there to see the wonderful Rodin sculpture 'The Kiss' which graced the entrance to the Gallery. Then we strayed into the next part and a whole wall was covered in dots. It didn't look like art to
