A Note About Postcards
I have updated my three postcards to include the frames/titles.
I should also write a word or two about their significance. Postcard One is an exercize in distilling a mundane image and injecting some interest into it. Ironically, I find the original postcard to have some intrinsic interest the longer I look at it. The composition uses vivid colors which remind me of typical postcards of the 60s. Also the use of flowers as a decorative motif is a peculiar touch. I tried to capture a bit of the 60s esthetic with the frame and font.
Postcard Two is mostly just whimsical. However; I like the idea that even the washed out, colorless flowers can lend the image a lightness that it wouldn't otherwise have.
Postcard Three is pretty straightforward. It shows a highway toll booth transformed into Ludwig Mies van der Rohe's unbuilt (fantastical) brick country house by the same flowers.
All three, hopefully, reference the transformative power of light that I explored with earlier images and drawings displayed on this page with simple, white drawings taking the place of light.
