Art Journal Journey - Gustav Klimt

The November theme at Art Journal Journey is " inspired by masters".

Many years ago, as I was still living in Vienna, our house was not far away from where Gustav Klimt once lived. I love the power in his paintings, the power of colours and shapes... I feel his paintings.

So , this journal page , is inspired by him. He made a painting like this once - normally a forest is mysterious and sometimes even a bit scary. But the way Mr Klimt painted this birch forest -  it became an invitation instead . White tree trunks combined with the colourful leaves - and almost always with some added gold.

I added a stamp from cherrypieartstamps ( Gustav Klimt collection). Otherwise the page is created with NeocolorsII and Faber Castell PITT artist pens.

Autumn `s here.

Blooming for the artful times

Another art journal page - this time, my entry to artful times' challenge "blooming".

I cut out the flowers using the tattered floral die from Tim Holtz. The background is made with stencils and dylusion ink sprays. I covered the background with scrapbook papers from Glitz design and stamped over once again with a lovely text stamp from Stampendous.

The quote says;
" Every child is a different kind of flower, and all together, they make this world a beautiful garden".

I hope you like it!
