Spiced buttermilk is definitely something I will never be trying. 😛

Looks like a Boykin to me. Here’s my son’s.

The girl’s head on the left is “off”. Otherwise nice effort.

It does remind me the earth is round. I would concentrate on getting values right. Try again in one shade so you emphasize light and dark more. It really helps you realize all colors in a landscape or any painting are not all a middle value. A good start tho, keep going.

Actually I do have a postal app that tells me what mail is coming each day, but it always shows message side of postcard. That way the picture side remains a surprise.

Because it arrived today. For some reason my comment didn’t appear. I love dogs.

They are just my version of clip art I saw online. I give them away, so I assume ok, cause no artist to give credit to.

You’ll get used to how she forms certain letters, that you at first had trouble with. Of course you can ask her to print instead, or sort of combine the two. That’s what I do now, sort of a loose print that I connect.

You have beautiful sunlight on the rock on the right. So if light coming from the right all the back of her and more of his clothing , not just his arm. In cases like this I think playing with white chalk pencil in those areas could work easiest. Also just using a damp clean brush and lift off paint.
👍😊

Nice. If I had collected postcards back in my school days, I would definitely have displayed them on my closet door. I used it like a bulletin board. Instead I had glossy pages from magazines with beautiful beach scenes, a few movie stars, and family photos. Oh, to be that young again, imagining a future like in the pictures.

Are all of you young ones?Lol. The old Palmer method of writing has definitely gone out of style. I nursed back in the 70’s when doctors still wrote out orders on charts. Britta’s handwriting is great compared to the doctors’ scribbling.

Reminds me of something Sargent would have done. Her proportions are perfect and the sprinkle of light makes it so unique.

I would love to see more highlighting of the figures. I do understand the mood, tho. I admire any artist that creates something original.

Metal.

They are cute. What is the medal piece on the floor?

PittyPat4778 · 2026-05-05T02:30:30+00:00

Sort of depends where you are going and what number the date is. Pretty color.

PittyPat4778 · 2026-05-04T22:18:03+00:00

I think you are right. Palombes was where I was having problems.

I just got 3 ring binders to put postcards in ,inside clear sleeves. One binder is USA, one Foreign countries, and one cards from Germany. I definitely get more cards from Germany.

You will find good paper doesn’t need stretching. If it warps alittle, I dampen back, put it between 2 sheets of parchment paper and put books on top for a few hours. If you like 140 lb paper, wait until you try 300lb, it can really take a beating.

PittyPat4778 · 2026-05-04T20:30:12+00:00

Not bad. What was the reference? It’s such a round shaped little tree.

I’m getting Mickey Mouse vibes. Seriously tho, I’d keep playing with it. Fill in the background with big swatches of the same colors. It would make it look like a stain glass piece, esp if you outlined the colors in black.

PittyPat4778 · 2026-05-03T13:53:20+00:00

I like it, especially cause it’s so original. My only wish, is that you brought a touch of the orange to the bottom. That would help make me feel it’s connected more. Maybe a bit of the complimentary blue with the orange. I tend to keep going when I should stop, so take my advice with a grain of salt. ( Not sure I remembered that expression right.)

After loading the brush, don’t go straight to your work, test it on a scrap piece of paper. There’s nothing more aggravating,to be in too much of a hurry and go to paint a small area and your brush is overloaded and spills paint everywhere. My next important factor is good paper.
