Cheater

Cat

I've painted 6 postcards for the Twitter Art Exhibit, global artists donate art in aid of charity. This year it is in Canada to benefit Urban Native Youth Association.

You can only send one so I have a decision to make. I've discounted the cat and I think I know which one I will send. Will you agree I wonder?

I'm linking to Friday Face Off

 

Friday Catch Up 1July22

 I had visitors last week and I've been away for a couple of days this week so no new art. I did this digital work a while ago but never posted about it.

A tablet doodle, then made into a repeating pattern on the computer.

Another tablet doodle, then I used various filters on the computer to change it. The last pink one is the original.

Do you remember my hare with sunflowers postcard? I painted it for the Twitter Art Exhibition where the postcards are sold for charity, this time for the encephalitis society. The good news is that mine has been sold. There are some other art postcards left for sale if anyone wants to purchase one, see here.

Digital collage - the bird image was out of the Naturalist Library vintage book.

Mail Art

I started with a vintage envelope above and just layered with a vintage image from the Naturalist Library of entomology. It was nice to start with, so I didn't want to overdo it with too much decoration.

I decorated the plain side by pulling a layer of the card off in places and scoring it with a knife, then I painted with watercolours.
