Postcards From the Edge #5 and #6

Here are two more postcards to complete the series. The first is of an old street lamp I spotted high up on a wall in Nice. The second is a view of some very old trees in Cimiez, Nice. Both pictures were painted (perhaps unsurprisingly) on very hot sunny days. I hope the recipients enjoy their cards when they arrive in the post.

I am hugely grateful to Jay Kuhns, Sukh Pabial, David Goddin, Hazel Bedson, Alison Chisnell and Sarah Matthews for getting in touch and asking for a card. I’ve not tried something like this before and without the encouragement from others I’m not sure I would have kept this little idea going. As it turns out I’ve really enjoyed this painting experiment and I will continue it in some way later this year.
