Postcard Paintings





I finished this series of 5 postcards yesterday.  I belong to a SWAP group and these were all mailed out this morning to 5 of the members.  They are all 4" x 6" and are painted on Fabriano Artistico 140 lb. cold-pressed watercolor paper.  Two of them are leaving the States - hope they make it to their intended homes.

What a gorgeous group of postcards. I know everyone will be thrilled when they arrive at their new homes :)

Barb, are you mailing these out as postcards or do they go out in envelopes. If postcards, do the watercolors hold up on rainy days?

Barb Sailor said...

Thanks so much, Rhonda...I hope they all make it - especially the one to the Philippines!

Susan -Yes - we send them out as postcards in the mail... I don't know how my previous cards held up to the elements, but the cards I have received are in pretty good shape considering the stamping on both sides on some of them. It sort of adds to the "validity" of the card to have the address, stamps, etc. I am saving mine in a 4"x6" photo album.

Barb, these are lovely. They look almost Asian. Nice group!
