Scenic Views

I have a great big box of vintage postcards that I have collected and and/or purchased for resale. Last night I had fun picking out FIVE postcards to glue together (actually FOUR parts of different postcards are glued to ONE "giant" postcard, a view of the Boulder Dam, the only bit of it seen in this collage in the upper right.

The man with the camera is from a vintage travel brochure.

    How very delightful! Those landscape/nature paintings do indeed look like old postcards. I love how you tiled them together! But what makes it is the surprising presence of the scantily dressed man with the antique camera, his head breaking the frame. Touché, Angie!

      Thanks Fi. Yes those two postcards in the lower right (scene of deer and scene with ducks) were printed in Germany and were definitely paintings made into postal cards.

      I have another image of him from the same travel brochure, again with a camera hanging from his neck, but this time he is wearing a brown suit.

      Thanks Ron. This collage has become the inspiration for a series in the same vein.
