Mark making, black acrylic on 4 x 6 watercolor paper.
Another possible submission for the Visual Aids 17th ANNUAL POSTCARDS FROM THE EDGE event. I was stumped on this one. Sort of thought about a stand of trees, but I think the lines are too close together for that.
I am happy with the result, but I have already started on the next postcard. This show will be packed with postcards. I really want something that will stand out in the crowd.

Working on my submission for the Visual Aids 17th ANNUAL POSTCARDS FROM THE EDGE event. I have a handful of cards prepped with black acrylic marks. Today’s card started with basically four lines.
I rotated the card, to see what I could “see”. Took a minute for an idea to form. This next step I completed quickly. About 15 minutes. That is only important because the goal was to keep my strokes loose.
I added more black around the edges, and some blue acrylic. The deadline is next month, so I have some time. Let me know what you think when you get the chance.
I am a couple of days early I know. But I am hoping that November will renew whatever bit of talent I thought I had. This month has been crummy all around.
Unexpected car repairs – CHA CHING! Not just for me, but for everyone in the house. We have been playing musical cars for weeks. Yup, I think a double-deep-dip in the ol’ treat bag is needed. Now I just need to find a kid with overflowing treats.
October has never been my favorite month. Playing dodge the scary movies on TV. Or the Linda Blair shuffle. I am ready for Hallmark channels countdown to Christmas. A month filled with sappy, happy endings!
A few more attempts here. Working on some postcard art for Visual Aids. Another “map”, but I prefer the earlier layout – square. This seems a bit “scrunched”. The start of each of these was twig scribbled black acrylic. Marks without a rhyme or reason.
May your Halloween be sweetly spooky! Save me a Kit Kat and a Baby Ruth! Gee wiz – did you know Kit Kats came in all these flavors? What are your favorite treats at Halloween?
