A Winter Postcard from Germany for winter in Sydney







I received my June card from Albrecht a little early....but I put it away till it was June. Now Albrecht’s beautiful actually relates better to what we are experiencing here in Sydney..although we have blue skies and sun, (no snow!) and a fresh 15C (that is cold for us!!). I can feel the longing for spring in the black and white pen sketch with the colours below....just one touch of of spring green on the right hand end! Because we only have a few deciduous trees (introduced species – all native gum trees are evergreen) we always have plenty of green around.

I really love both the front and the back of the card- more lovely sketches and some great stamps too! - thanks Albrecht for a truly beautiful card

a wonderful tangle of light against dark, dark against light - really lovely and those colour notes are great.

Then the other side with the beautiful bird studies. What a gorgeous card.

What I love most about Albrecht's postcards, apart from the magic he weaves with pen or pencil, is all the additional little jewels he adds for one to discover as the card is examined and passed among one's envious friends.

I'm so looking forward to receiving a card from Albrecht - his tree studies are wonderful - as are the bird studies,

Beautiful! His cards are so much more amazing in person if you can believe it. The delicate pencil line come together and do create magic!

Beautifully sketched, Albrecht. You make it seem so easy but I know it's not. Wonderful
