Daffodils and faces

February 21, 2020 By Marit 4 Comments

Goodmorning lovely ones – another week flew by! A week with a lot of wind and a bit of rain, but today is a lovely day – you can see that on the photo my friend Lena took when she arrived at her workplace here in Middelburg early this morning.

Friday haiku

Half februari
narcissen langs het kanaal
zijn er al vroeg bij
Mid-February
daffodils at the canal
rose up early

The photo was taken by my friend Lena Schreijenberg

I submit this haiku to Recuerda Mi Corazon where our lovely hostess Rebecca brings us all together to share a haiku on Friday: Haiku my Heart.

Yep, that’s the same blue sky I can see right now, and my beloved and I will take the bus to the seashore today to go for a long walk.
But first , let me show you some things I created lately

The Chronicles of Marit – Week 4

The man’s face on this spread is Mathieu van der Poel, an amazing cyclist – he won (almost) all cyclo-crosses this season and I look forward to the first road-race (starting at the end of the month) to see if he manages to win those too! Besides this art journal spread, I created two more spreads in my Chronicles art journal but I save them for another time, I don’t want to overload this blogpost. I do, however, want to show you the little piece I created for my son and daughter-in-law…

Mixed media face

And that’s it for today. I need to wash and dress (still in my pj’s!) and go out to smell the roses… uhrm, daffodils… uhrm, salty sea.

Have a lovely day you; go out to smell!

Je t’embrasse

    Hello dear Marit! Thank you for these delights, including Lena’s photo! I have some daffodils in a vase and will think of you when I look at them. They are so beautiful, these little golden trumpets that herald new life! I so love seeing your journal pages and art making. Thank you for sharing them with us! Enjoy your weekend!

    It appears that the daffodils are looking out over the water. A lovely scene expressed in words.
