I'm joining my friend Valerie this month's host at Art Journal Journey with a journal page for her light and darkness theme.
I call this one Headlights
because headlights show us the way 
through the dark nighttime streets and roadways. 
I fear my scanner is on its last leg (although it is barely two years old) because of the lines it creates on this totally black background. And even though I clean the glass each time before I scan, there are a surprising amount of white spots that show on each and every scan. The background is as black as black can be, but it doesn't appear that way in the scan.Thanks for joining me today as I show homage to Valerie's light and darkness theme at Art Journal Journey. I'm thrilled you took the time to visit, even though this is a really busy time for all of us.
Thanks for another lovely page! Hugs, Valerie

great page very artistic looking happy christmas and thankyou for always taking the time to leave lovely comments on my blog
ReplyDeleteVery cool page!I like the contrasts of black and white. Have your temperatrues warmed up any? :) Hugs-Erika
ReplyDeleteThis is great, the cars and trucks and buses are moving and lighting the dark, I can see that! I wonder how you did this, it's very clever, and of course perfect for the theme.
ReplyDeleteWonderful! This seems like somewhat of a departure from your usual work. You know I'm a fan of black/white art. You were so creative in meeting this challenge.
ReplyDeleteHeadlights and tail lights in traffic jams always remind me of strings of Christmas lights. That's the first thing I thought of when I saw your page.
ReplyDeleteAs to the scanner. See if your scanner settings has a way to calibrate the scanner. Check the manufacturer's support page.
I love all the motion in this expressive page Elizabeth!
ReplyDeleteI didn't want to make you cry with my last comment - just wanted to say how I feel about you and your blogfriendship!
Thank you for such a great entry to Valerie's light and darkness theme!Much appreciated!

I love this E, the abstract pattern and the scale, and the color.. and if it is black as black can be, then even better!! x
ReplyDeleteIts a wonderful page, and such an amazing contrast in black and white. I can imagine cars speeding on motor ways with their lights on full to show the way.

An amazing page, must have taken a lot of time to make it. Great!
ReplyDeleteMerry Christmas and a happy New Year.
Dear greetings

Wow! What a fabulous page - those roads are like the one we came home on this evening for seeing my brother and SIL! Some headlights are almost blinding though when the roads are really dark! We stopped up on a very high road and got out to look at the stars without light pollution though - amazing! Big Hugs, Chrisxx
ReplyDeleteThis is another one of your works that I can picture framed on a wall or shelf. Intriguing. I like cityscapes and city images, and this scene really appeals to me :)
ReplyDeleteThis is really great Elizabeth. Thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteThis is beautiful, fascinating and incredibly unique. I love it!
ReplyDeleteMerry, Merry!
