Shacks and Backyards



This wonderful wonderful postcard from Martin completes my collection. This is Martin ‘starting to play with oil pastels’ and I am enjoying looking at it very much propped up behind my keyboard. I love the richness of the colours and the wonderful composition of the old houses/shacks and their backyards. Certainly a style of vernacular architecture tht we don’t see down here.
Thank you Martin – I love it.
What a wonderful collection of postcards I now have from all my special friends !!

And more beautiful cards just keep coming! I thought the exchange would be over by now but the treats go on.
I always love Martin's oil pastel paintings and what a treat to own one, Liz.

lovely old timbered buildings that remind me of a visit where we travelled up and down the Rhine and a little way up the Mosel. My sister in law was living in Koln as her husband was working for the British Council. A lovely trip.

Martin's cards have been like a little tour around his part of the world. Enjoy looking at his change of media - shown on his blog too.

As always, Martin, your style and composition are spot on.
