And yes, that's real paint.  Would you expect anything less from the big boss?  Could this have been inspired by that Pink Floyd album cover?And here it is, last but not least, and my favourite, I give you "Power Bils" or  "Power Bibs".  I'm not quite sure.  In any case, it's wonderful.  Simple, yet complex, strong, yet gentle.  Movement, variety, proportion, emphasis, balance, contrast, it's all there.  It would make Joan Miró turn green!And here are all the goodies.  I took my membership card and one those red pieces of paper into a Starbucks to see if I could get a free coffee with it.  They said; "no".  I then tried to get into the Louvre with it, and they said, "no".  I then went to the house of Victor Hugo, and they said yes, please come in.  Wow, I thought, being a Mail Artists surely has some benefits afterall.

Later I found out that the house of Victor Hugo is free for everyone.  I'll try it next for a Pink Floyd concert!

Thank you Rudd, I am truly delighted with the art work you sent.  Wish you were here.

Thanks for the kind words Dean.  Will write a letter to the Louvre; they should let an IUOMA member in for Free!

I do listen very fondly to Pink Floyd, but the two portraits are not inspired by that. It is the visualisation of sender and receiver, in many ways as you mightb see on other envelopes.

Glad you liked the sending, and being a IUOMA-member will have advantages if you look for them.
