POSTCARD CHALLENGE WEEK 15~ICELAND

WOW week 15 Already? This week I enjoyed the process of finding my images to try to do a large collage piece. I knew the Aurora Borealis  & glaciers had to be a part of the postcard. I found  some really amazing images on-line, tried to re-create them (this was was not so easy)...  Finally settled on using a photo background, and placed a hand drawn  snow covered  mountain range in the center. Oh yea I also included the fluke of a whale -since whale watching is a big tourist event.

Front of Card

Photo background (source internet) mountains were done

with black and white paint pens.

Foreground has several layers of black paint added and

wiped off to give shadows.

Back of Card

Correspondence:

"Melite,

Yes once again you certainly do ask so many questions...

You are correct in requesting my full name since I've known

yours for four months-

Alexander Iliad Graham.

If you review my previous cards you realize what I do for a living.

Sorry for being so secretive, but given my famous family line

I need to be careful with whom I share my name with.

Glad you're home and recovering!

Heading home after trip

to Iceland.

Alex"

The background is a light water color wash of the colors in the Aurora Borealis.

Once again I found  all these amazing images on-line. The  glacier on the right

was extended across the left side of the page by using water colors.

Other images include a Puffin , Icelandic poppies and the Flag of Iceland.
