This is another set of my watercolor postcards. In earlier blog posts, I featured my painted postcards from Paris and from Italy. I painted these from some of my favorite Long Island locations. After painting the postcards, I mailed them to friends and family in California. These are a sampling of the Long Island set. The postmark isn't anything special- the postmark on some of our mail on Long Island had a great outline of Long Island in the shape of a fish. Anyway, these postcards give me great memories of Long Island now that I have moved back to California. Now, if I can try to plan ahead -I would like to paint more of these postcards before I go on trips, so I can mail them from each destination and add to my collection.
Thanks for looking!

what a delight it must have been to receive one of your cards :)
ReplyDeleteThat looks like fun Sheryl!
ReplyDeleteThank you- Dora and Pat! They really are fun little projects!
ReplyDeleteWhat a fun idea...postcards. Where do you have them printed or do you do them yourself?
ReplyDeleteThanks, Gretchen! I print them myself on watercolor paper then cut them. I sometimes find watercolor postcards at Michaels also.

These are beautiful!
ReplyDeleteWhen you moved, you really moved! From all the way east to all the way west!
Teresa- and we started way west in the first place! My husband doesn't believe in doing these things half way...
ReplyDeleteHi Sheryl! Obviously, due to Leslie Saeta I've discovered YOU! BUt what I'm really intrigued by is your Long Island postcards. Are you originally from Long Island? These are all MY favorite places too! Robert Moses, the little villages on Fire Island and the lighthouse are very near and dear to me.
ReplyDeleteI've spent a lot of time in Greenport too.
It's so nice to meet you!
