I don't know how long this July postcard was waiting for me in my mailbox in Heidelberg. Yesterday I came back from vacation at the Baltic Sea and in Berlin. So I'm sorry to post it so late. (The card was postmarked on 20th July – I left for vacation on 14th August. So the card needed quite a long time.)Charlene, thank you so much for this impressive historic image. You wrote: »... The painting is of hieroglyphic stairway at the Mayan ruin of Copan. It is currently under a protective tarpaulin, so it's tricky to paint – and impossible to photograph in its entirety..«

I think Charlene might possibly win the prize for the longest journey!
What a unique subject for a postcard! Well done Charlene for having a jolly good go at what sounds like a real challenge.
What a treat to receive this wonderfully painted card from Charlene's vacation.
Wow, Mayan hieroglyphics, we are getting postcards from some really exotic places - painting under a tarpaulin must be a first too!
What a great keepsake for so far away! So glad it made it. Beautiful
So exotic and such beautiful colours!
such an exotic place to go - lovely!
Wonderful Mayan ruins Charlene! I agree with Cathy...our postcards just cover such interesting parts of the world, history, traditions, beauty..love it all.

I'm really enjoying Charlene's sketches of her recent travels - much better than looking at photos. She's showing us what she found important to her artist's eyes. And I like her way with watercolours.
Charlene, I'm starting to expect Indiana Jones to leap out of your beautiful, exotic cards. You'd never know this one was a challenge.
