One of my habits when traveling is making watercolor postcards to mail home to friends and family. The time and expense involved is minimal and recipients seem happy with them, so I've kept up the practice for years.

| "Schefflera Sunset," watercolor postcard ca. 2000 |
This particular postcard was one of my first watercolor postcards, decades ago, and unpublished until now. The second postcard, below, is from a vacation in souithern France, also long ago. Whatever these works lack in finish is offset somewhat by spontaneity and chutzpah. Regardless, they keep me working while traveling and provide something that friends back home like to receive. The foreign postage and cancellation and the personal paintings are an important part of the pieces, too. Several of these are framed and hang happily in various places.
