This is the second year I decided to participate in Kat Sloma's The Liberate Your Art Post Card Exchange. The purpose was three-fold :
1) Get some of my own artwork professionally printed -- Wow! What a revelation this simple act is in this digital age!
2) Get my Art out into the world, and
3) Enjoy receiving postcards from other like-minded creatives.
The "Old Homestead" at the top of this post is what I sent out this year. I took the original photo with my iPad, then processed it with some filters from SnapSeed The actual building is on Hwy 10 outside of Stevens Point, WI. This was my first try with SnapSeed.
I know that 1 of my cards landed in Seattle, WA, with Carol Hart at www.openhart.com
1 went to Kate TerHaar in Michigan. Thanks for letting me know, Kate!
Where did the others land? Please leave a comment if you got one of my postcards. ;-)
I had extra postcards printed (other pictures, too), so if you like what you see, contact me and I'll send one to you, too--wherever you are ... Cheers!

In April, 200+ artists worldwide sent postcards of their artwork (plus address labels and stamps) to Kat Sloma, who then fostered the exchange sending postcards around the world. What fun to watch the mail every day!
Here are the cards I received this year :

It's been a long, cold winter, here in Wisconsin, so I appreciated this postcard.
I am looking forward to the spring and the return of sunlight.
