The Postman brings Art

February 5, 2010 by Lorrie

This was a week of bounty.  Lovely things were bought to my door by the grizzled and rather humourless postman all  in one day,  a couple of items of which I had forgotten about. Needless to say it cheered up a grey and drizzly day.

First up was Angela Hogans wonderful painting that I coveted for so long and made mine, which is to hang in my living room. This is really a lovely painting which will go well with the Autumn shades that predoinate downstairs. Thank you Angela.

Next, a  box of Fabriano Quadrato Artist Journals  (four of which have gone off to Canada to Jessica Doyle), two for me, and two for Jeanette House. They are utterly sumptuous and I think worth every penny. The paper inside is textured Conte paper for pencil, pastel, charcoal etc.  A good investment.

Last but not least,  my gorgeously fabulous postcards and print from Yuliya, and artist I recently discovered on Etsy. Her art is truly amazing. Great attention to detail, imaginative, and skillfully executed.

Here they all are in their glory.

      It was my pleasure darling. Only problem is, they are so gorgeous I am almost afraid to draw in them, as I feel my art may not live up to their expectations!
