Through the arched window


'Through my Window', is the  theme  for September over at 
chosen by Corrine.
Peace and tranquility was the thoughts in my head when creating this page.
I think I am on the outside looking through  the window of a ruined church,
whatever it was, it has  a calming effect for me.
listen carefully and the bird may be singing.
I can hear them in my garden right now.

Water colour wash as a base then a selection of stencils, using distress inks, Black Soot, Vintage Photo
  and Peeled Paint
The raffia scraps etc  and die cuts were in the bits box.

Thank you for stopping by to see what I have been making,
 I always appreciate the comments you leave.

  11. That's magical, Yvonne - wonderful use of the window stencil, and I love the creepers and vines and ivy clambering over the walls. Lovely how you foregrounded the bird with that hit of red too - a beautiful contemplative page.

  14. I came across an old church that was in ruins while traveling a few years ago, and I swear, your lovely art brought back such a rush of memories and visual images of that church that looked very similar to your painting.

    Since I don't have a die cutter, Yvonne, I fell in love with the beautiful embellishments you used on the journal page, too. This is a gorgeous entry.

  16. A stunning page Yvonne, love that beautiful window, so evocative, great use of muted and bright colours too!!

    Sorry for my lack of visits, but I had an almost 2 month break from blogging, and though I meant to visit, life just kept getting back in the way... Things should get back to normal now...
