Ink sketch on monotype - Martin Stankewitz
Martin created this beautiful postcard from a monotype. He called it 'scrap' but it only took a few magical pen strokes for him to turn it into a wonderfully evocative landscape.
This card is particularly precious to me as Martin's monotypes have long been an inspiration and he is so generous in sharing his knowledge. The bonus is the characteristic penmanship that picks out the details of the scene with the little village and church steeple on the horizon. Do you get the impression I am delighted?
Flip the card over and there are two beautiful floral stamps with their promise of Spring.

Thank you for providing the wonderful enlargement of this image, Robyn... 'a few magical pen strokes' indeed -- I could stare at them all for hours!
This is absolutely gorgeous - I really love it. Robyn I'm jealous!
Me too - green with envy. This is a really wonderful card. I love the colours and markmaking.
Beautiful, there is always so much to explore on Martins cards. I also must agree with Robyn when she says how sad it will be when the postman only brings bills!
I do like Martin's monotypes a lot.
So lovely to get a printed card rather than a painted one too.
Wow, what an evocative design. Stark, cold, grim, winter. Something that really makes one look and think.
I like how real this card is. As always the subdued color is a rejoice to my soul. Lovely, Martin
