Last year, as part of my emerging experiment with painting, I tried my hand at making my own postcards. Six of you got in touch and responded to my offer to paint you a postcard, you can see the results over at my Learning To Paint website (the postcards are among the earliest entries).
As the holiday season looms large again I’d like to repeat the experiment, assuming you’d like to join me that is? To take part, all you need to do is get in touch so we can exchange a few details. I’ll basically need an address for you in order to post the card and that’s pretty much it. You just sit back and wait for me to hit the Costa Del Sol and see what inspires me. This is a first come first served freebie and I reserve the right to close the list at any time. This giveaway is being offered elsewhere too and I don’t paint very quickly!
Folks last year seemed to enjoy receiving their cards, I hope you will too.
Update: The postcard offer is now fully subscribed.
Loved mine when it arrived last year – it still has pride of place in its nice white frame on my desk (http://dougshaw.posterous.com/learning-to-paint-4-and-5).
I won’t be greedy and ask again but I would recommend signing up for Doug’s kind offer – when was the last time anyone sent you a handpainted postcard in the post? Or for that matter, anything novel in the post?!?
Hi Doug,
I’d like a postcard painted for me if I’m not too late!
Many thanks,
Bina
Doug
I still have the lovely postcard you painted last year on the office wall. If you’re up for doing another I’d love to receive one.
Have a great holiday.
Best wishes
Sarah
Thanks for the encouragement David 🙂
Bina and Sarah – I’ll happily make you both a card.
Doug,
I’d love to get one if you have the time.
Mark
Thanks Mark – please drop me an address and I will happily paint something for you.
Just so folks know – I managed to complete a postcard for everyone who asked for one – six people in all. If you haven’t already received it – the card is on its way, I hope they get through the rain reasonably unscathed! If yours arrives and is very wet – let me know and I will email you a photo of it so you can compare before and after 🙂
