Feels Like a Summer Evening

Its just about the weekend. I am ready. :) 
Not only does my one week spring vacation begin this weekend, but its also almost the end of a very  busy work week. But today we had temperatures well into the 70's ( in the low 20 degrees Celsius) and it felt so much like summer.  Loving it.:)
So today I have a journal page for you. Since it is Friday I am linking up to Paint Party Friday. Thanks to Eva and Kristen for hosting this fantastic site.
And I am also linking up to Art Journal Journey. This month's ' hostess is Linda and the theme is For the Record. My journal page is based on a Jimmy Buffet song. If you are familiar with his music, you can probably guess my song. It is his song  Fins.
My fish Gelli print might be a bit busy for this page, but I thought the color and fish design was a great match for the  music.  My photo got a little cut off on the right side, but those fins in the waves came out just like I wanted.
I like it much better when I cut the words off the bottom. Maybe I need to paint over them so they are plain black. I think the white outlining is what  bothers me the most since it seems a little too busy with the rest of the page.
But when I take out the words, you don't know what song it is, do you?
That's all for me. Thanks for stopping by.

I adore this painted journal page, and loved the play on words. Very cleverly painted and well thought out. I actually like both versions, but I'm not one who needs words to make a page work, so I enjoyed it both ways.

I thought of you today when I saw that Prince had died. I thought of your take on Purple Rain that you shared recently on AJJ. Hope your last day of school before break is WONDERFUL.

Oh I love it!! I love both with and without words!! The cut down version could be re-purposed as a summer theme one month for your banner!! What is the song I'm wondering... I may google that!! Great fun colours...I think I am so in love with these two colours of late too!! We have had some beautiful exceedingly record breaking weather too! Enjoy!
