Golden Light. 2.5 x 3.5 ATC. Watercolor on paper. © 2016 Sheila Delgado
I really love how this turned out. It was done on inexpensive paper, with a “canvas” texture.
Last of L.Y.A.
Two more L.Y.A. side swaps arrived while I was out-of-town. The first is a fun photo from Deanie Houghtaling. I love the look of these stained and well used brushes. Old friends. Deanie lives in Phoenix, and we may get the chance to meet after our move. On the back:
I dream of painting and then I paint my dreams.
Vincent Van Gogh
The colorful, lacy card is from Patsy Lawrence, all the way from Tennessee. I admired this card all through the swap, as it was posted over and over on the Facebook page. The colors, and the stained glass effect. So pretty. Come to find out, Patsy did several different versions of this, all of them lovely! Her message includes this quote:
“I will be an ARTIST or nothing!”
Eugene O’Neill
Patsy continues with this. “I am probably a distant relative of his, considering the stencil was found among the possessions of my grandmother O’Neill!” Fun thought!
Thank you both for sharing your art with me! Brightened my day! My album is officially full. 28 postcards. But I know I have one more card coming.
Have a super week ya’ll!
