"Snowy Mailboxes I" and "Snowy Mailboxes II" were done in ink & watercolor from reference photos I took in Maine last winter. Both are ATCs (2.5 x 3.5) that I did for the WetCanvas Fall/Winter Exchange.
What fun snow boxes. the mail boxes in the States are so full of character and you've captured it exaxtly like I remember them wehn we lived there for a while! Ronelle
I have always participated in the visual arts including watercolors, drawing and sketching, pen and ink, and photography. Since retiring from teaching I have devoted much of my time to watercolors, sometimes combining them with pen and ink or collage.
Watercolor is the perfect medium to capture the beauty that surrounds us. I love to travel, and sketch and paint wherever I go. Painting, especially on location, captures the spirit and life of the subject. I hope to continue doing that for a long time to come.

Hi Maggie,
Super little work of art. I also enjoy ATCs and have been playing around with them. This is great.
these make a great subject Joan, especially with the seasonal changes...
So LOVELY!!! Great job on those mailbox posts too ---! I am so wishing for snow .. if we're to have raw, wet, ugly weather, then bring on the snow!
Marmsk - Thanks. I enjoy these little ATCs.
Kat - Thank you. I like mailboxes, especially covered with snow.
Lin - Thanks so much. We had a few flakes yesterday in the middle of all our rain.
