I’ve got more carrots in the car

Here is another finished postcard going to Julie in Georgia.  This card was created from a “cast off” piece of paper that had watercolour on it and I hadn’t liked it at the time (muddied colours).

I pulled it out again and saw a face and was able to tease out this portrait. I thought she needed to be saying something and my mind went blank.  So out of frustration, I got my little envelope of vintage book phrases and found this one.  It is nonsensical but it appeals to my sense of humour especially during these horrid months of COVID-19.  

The inspiration for the technique started with a class I took with artist Deb Weiers (check her out on IG).
