A very quick  sketch from the little vineyard of a friends where we were harvesting grapes ia month ago ( early) n a wonderful spirit of teamwork. The place is called Le Landreau and it's a wine country 30 km away from Nantes where I live.

Great to have more Mail Artists coming onboard. It will be interesting to see the variety of Landscapes /environments we are dwelling in and different ways of "seeing", and "mark making".Please feel free to put up any work you have made in the past, on trips etc Lets "peek" into each others sketch books?

Bushland Garden painting in watercolour. A few of these Mail Arts are "winging" their way out to members of the group. Painting in the park was the "starting point".

I'm new to Plein Air so have nothing outdoorsy to show yet. Plus, I live in the kingdom of rain. I did take photos of the Peace Lilies by our pond, printed them on teabag paper, applied paint and made a frame.

Helen, the garden and work set up is lovely, as are your watercolours, Katerina.

Painting watercolour in a small section of the Bushland Garden. Loved the experience, time flew by. Didn't really get the results I was after, but there's always next time.

my alternative to collage mail art cards is watercolor sketching outdoors,
