I have thought some of these sketchy pieces might actually be fun as starts for further exploration. I’m thinking pastels. But I need to buy some first.  Ha ha ha.  I deliberately left these with minimal details for that reason. 

 

Happy day to you!

WOO HOO! Official completed the first month. Thirty days. Thirty Mingus paintings. Whew! I am enjoying these quick sketchy pieces. Fun to see details that happen entirely without my intention. Like the shadows and light on Mingus below.

Sharon Lane, Houston Texas

 

It wasn’t the last! Two more awesome postcards arrived yesterday. YAY! I LOVE Sharon’s colorful cat. The childlike rendition just makes me smile. Pure fun! See more from Snap here.  Oh that Owl!!  On the back:

Happy is the home with at least one cat.

Kate Lehman, Woodridge Illinois.

 

Kate found the sign for the Metra trains interesting, and so do I. Very historic, very European. Makes me wonder how many of these signs are in the city, and how long it took to install them. Mind boggling. Kate’s message was a wish for a happy Springtime.

Be sure to follow the link to Kate’s Facebook page. Both Kate and Sharon are sharing snaps of gorgeous flowers. Thank you Sharon and Kate, for sending your wonderful postcards my way! Made my day!
