My submission for the A.I.R. Wish You Were here 13 Postcard Exhibition is ready. Just not sure which one it will be yet. I do have a favorite, but I am really interested to see what you think. So take a look, and let me know in the comments which one you like best.
I included the before with the after. And you can see them again here. The single white flower was a total fail about half way through. I added some crinkled paper that I had painted red. When it dried, it was pale and dusty, and not really a color I could describe. Certainly NOT red. I covered the ugly with white, and started over. The wrinkles and crinkles catch the light, adding some depth. The swimmer and the stargazer were already on the paper, it just took a little negative painting, to set them free.
Have a super Sunday ~
Thanks for taking the time to tell me which one you like.

I like the one with the light blue poppy! But they are all nice!
Thank You Terri 🙂
Sheila they are all lovely. I think the fish is my favorite.
Thanks Enzie! I love the fish, I will post later changes that I made to it. I sent in the flowers with yellow, I thought it would do best in this show. I am going to use the fish for products in my Zazzle shop. Thanks for visiting Enzie!
I wish that I could see them bigger and one at a time, which would make it easier for me to critique. The second postcard at the top of the group, is the one that I feel is most successful. This one appeals to me because it has interesting texture and it’s the most colorful. The second from the bottom row is very dramatic use of light and dark, so I like that one as well.
Thank you Teresa. I did put the most work into the one on top. The others I tried to leave as raw as possible. I did add some white to detail the fishes mouth, and draw out the eye a bit more. And I may go back and add to the stars, to darken them. I thinned the paint a bit too much so they are not as bright as I hoped.
