Every month we each create a postcard from a walk
....and send it around the world

The Barrier Reef
Alison's Sketchercise took her for a swim near the Great Barrier Reef. While spending time in this uniquely beautiful place she took the time to paint and send me a postcard. I feel very special. You can see by the intense color that this is deep clear and clean water. Not something you see every day. I have lived near the coast all of my life but this is not color you see in my part of the world. I think you have to be under the water for this kind of color. My camera has not done the colors justice but still it is a remarkable painting. I will treasure this beauty, thank you, Alison.

Amazing - I never thought we'd get an underwater postcard from the Barrier Reef when this project started!
nor me! fabulously different subject
One word from me - stunning!
This is just lovely! I used to live off the coast of the Great Barrier Reef in the Tropics. Yes, everything is coloured intensely and vibrantly.
Gorgeous colours and shapes, what a contrast to Charlene's swimming postcard in the previous post. And another place I just have to get to some day!
Even in this wide-ranging series of postcards, Alison's dazzling painting is unique! What a treat for the vast majority of us who never get into such settings.
Oh wow alsion...look at these colors! It is great...exactly like one sees in the reefs. Very happy you gave us an underwater scene...it is special!

Stunning and vibrant and so true to the underwater experience. The painting is a tropical holiday for the eyes.
