There are always flowers for those who want to see them. ~ Henri Matisse

We need to find God, and he cannot be found in noise and restlessness. God is the friend of silence. See how nature – trees, flowers, grass- grows in silence; see the stars, the moon and the sun, how they move in silence… We need silence to be able to touch souls. ~ Mother Teresa

Here are your top four favorite postcards. I tallied all the likes, shares and comments. Thanks so much everyone for sharing your thoughts!

Red will be in the outgoing mail tomorrow, bound for The Luhring Augustine Gallery in New York city for the Visual Aids 17th ANNUAL POSTCARDS FROM THE EDGE. All proceeds support the work of Visual AIDS. Visual AIDS utilizes art to fight AIDS by provoking dialogue, supporting HIV+ artists and preserving a legacy – because AIDS IS NOT OVER. Each card  in the show will be priced at $85.

This card looks the most “New York” to me. That put it on my list of favorites, but I prefer the second and third choice. The benefit is not until February, but I will let you know as soon as I find out if it has sold.  (Both of my earlier cards did sell.) Here it is signed:

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.

 

 

 

Hope you are enjoying a fabulous weekend!
