And very impressed how you made this beautiful drawing and painting of whiskey and wine - it really looks like to be a lonely place (and time)!<br />Your digital version is funny and yes, she doesn't look very lonely :)<br />And I am in love with your gorgeous "Thank you" painting with this wonderful quote!<br />Liebe Grüße, Rike<br />Rikehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08983819038717220234noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1268067691469926930.post-1154177739753880412018-07-02T10:55:22.613+01:002018-07-02T10:55:22.613+01:00Oh what a great final (but not final) blogpost, Gi...Oh what a great final (but not final) blogpost, Gill.<br />I'm quite sad that we didn't get the music with the song as it sounds like a great sad song with these super sad words. The bottles do look quite lonely at the side of the page ("this bottle looks lonely, let's cheer it up by having another drink", hahahaha!).<br />I'm very impressed as to how you tackled drawing and painting the picture, it certainly worked.<br />The digital painting made me laugh like a drain, no I don't think she will be lonely for long.<br />And your final painting here - aaawww this is so special with the sweet lady and the happy song and the lovely words about art. I love the splashy background effects too.<br />Have a nice day, Gill, and a more relaxing month.<br />Love, Sheilasheila 77https://www.blogger.com/profile/00698767195924308373noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1268067691469926930.post-22217401644018138642018-07-02T08:40:30.573+01:002018-07-02T08:40:30.573+01:00What a great final post for June Gill (Sorry i'...What a great final post for June Gill (Sorry i'm late still having IT probs.. Grrr!!)<br />I recognised that whiskey tipple straight away! <br />Love your still life watercolour, it used to be my favourite way of painting, wish i'd had that grid back then..<br />Great way to document those words with music, we need to hear it now you've teased us with it :D<br />Looks like the lady on the bar is ready to party all night long. Fabulous.<br />So glad I found you last month, looking forward to catching lot's more talented posts. <br />Creative wishes for a super week ahead Tracey xxTracey@Hotchpotchcreationshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15362505772186981279noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1268067691469926930.post-14002461417963127482018-07-01T15:13:55.071+01:002018-07-01T15:13:55.071+01:00What a talented gal you are Gill!

You set the scene beautifully with your words. I've really enjoyed having you as hostess at AJJ for June and getting you know you and your art.

I think it is pretty cool that you were a song writer. I see movies in my head all the time, but I never thought of writing a song. I love both of your pieces inspired by the song, and you made me smile with the bartender in your digital piece. And thank you for such a fun challenge this month. :) It's been a lot of fun. happy weekend.

I wouldn't inflict them on anyone else, haha. Loved seeing your process - thank you for sharing that. You did a great job :-)<br /><br />LOVE, love, love your Thank you spread, though - so bright, cheerful and Just lovely!

You have been an exceptional host, and have given us some incredible art, too. I am personally very proud of you and your drawing abilities.<br /><br />Second, your latest painting is fabulous. I love the composition, where the focal image is off center. It is a great entry. And of course, I really enjoyed seeing how you pulled this off, beginning with the still life you used as your model. I come from the school of altered books, where I often don't add words to my spreads. They occasionally get in the way, and I actually like that you DIDN'T add words to this, which I think would have distracted from the painting.<br /><br />Again, it is we who should be thanking you, and your incredible hosting skills this month at Art Journal Journey.Bleubeard and Elizabethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10149710375520733752noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1268067691469926930.post-38560069824760611252018-06-29T15:07:42.396+01:002018-06-29T15:07:42.396+01:00Oh dear Gill!
