Woo Hoo, some more side swap postcards… Each batch received is stunning, each author illustrates the capture… the feeling… of a moment. “Of course it’s all luck.” said Henri Cartier-Bresson, I do agree but if I may add Mr. Photographer, it’s also the eye which leads to creativity. Each postcard here is the precise example!
So to each of you Artist, Hats Off!
Lisa Comperry
“Be on the lookout for things that make you smile” says my friend, Lisa from Texas… Lisa and I have been swapping since 4 years now and each time, her photo brings joy! Have a look at her website… she is a very talented photographer!… and she “chases the sun”.
Christine Brooks
Not only during LYA side swaps, but Christine, from Arizona, spoils me with postcards all through the year round. Am so thankful as I really admire her work, she has a special eye to capture what’s around her, what do you think of this dragon-fly? Look at the details, super job, Christine.
Neha Luhar-Trice
Isn’t that postcard fabulous? It comes from my friend, Neha, from Florida… Neha has a lot of talent, she has the hint to see details in everything she undertakes. You will see by yourself while visiting her website and her Etsy shop. I bet you will love both!
Sheila Delgado
My other friend from Arizona, Sheila, sent me this cheerful photo of one of her paintings. We have been swapping since quite some time now. Sheila is really inspiring, she describes herself as “graphic designer, writer, poet, photographer”. What else should I add, if not that I would recommend her website and her shop, she has lovely paintings!
Debbie Osborn
“Smile” is coming from Norfolk, England, just across the pond and illustrates one of Debbie’s beautiful artwork. This image is made using marbling and stenciling, says Debbie. If you want to learn more about her art, pay a visit to her studio. Unbelievable talent, gorgeous colors! You will be stunned by all the colors Debbie expresses…
Karl Foerster
The last but not the least of today’s selection, comes from my friend, Karl, from Pennsylvania. I could call him “Mr. P’Town”, you must wonder what I mean? Karl in fact loves Cape Cod (and P’Town is a short-cut for Provincetown, which in fact is the site in Cape Cod, where the Pilgrims landed in 1620). His photo illustrates Long Point Lighthouse, at the very tip of the Cape. He must know that I am a lighthouse lover. I hope you will carry on along the LYA Postcard Swap, Karl…
That’s all for today, I suspect there will be another post soon…
Sheila Delgado
Happy May!
Impressive art and photography. I’m biased toward that lighthouse pic of course.
Me too… a certain nostalgia of the Cape!
Another super collection of cards Louise and so beautifully presented to your readers – thanks
Am really thrilled by each of the cards I have been receiving… Glad you enjoy the “show” 😉
Agreed
What a beautiful post. Thank you for your kind words. I am so pleased that my dragonfly is in the company of such great Art.
Much diversity this year, don’t you think so, Christine?
YAY it made it. So glad. And so very happy that we swap each year. 🙂 Some of these I have not seen before. Ditto what Christine said. Such an honor to be in this talented group 🙂 Is it just me, or does the collective LYA work get better each year?
oops… thanks so much for your generous appraisal Louise 🙂
Am proud having your inspiring artwork featuring among my LYA collection…
Always glad to see your talent joining my collection of LYA postcard, Sheila. Me too, I have noted that this year was rich in terms of creativity and exchange. Happy Day, my friend!
And to you Louise 🙂
