I received this wonderful depiction of brooding, dark clouds from Martin in Germany which he painted at the end of July. On the reverse he wrote
"It seems we have a very British summer this year.
Lots of clouds, rain and cold, which now travel to you by card."
Martin I do hope you have had some sunny days since you painted this. On the other hand sunny scenes produce far less dramatic, interesting paintings. So in a way, I am glad it rained on you,...... I got to benefit with this super card!

What a fantastic painting of weather - and how appropriate as the weather recently has been really awful.
Not quite as awful as the eastern seaboard of the USA today mind you - as Hurricane Irene continues to barrel her way on up the coast!
I love the play of light on the field and the beautiful stormy sky. Another postcard I really wish was for me.
Martin's really shown a rainy sky in all its beauty - great clouds. And I love his humour - "hold it here!".
I hope Martin You've had some sunny days this summer in Maulbronn.... Great mood in this postcard!
Amazing that you can get such a feeling of expanse and atmosphere onto a postcard!
Oh I love the sky and the drama this card has! Great job Martin!
Like Robyn, I wish this was for me! I love how it appears both abstract and very realistic.
Very dramatic painting, Martin, another treasure sent and received.
Impressive atpmosphere...love your card!
