Most of you are pretty used to my hen scratch but by the time I had the pen situation under control, the postcards were done. So my apologies, if the writing on your postcard looks even more messy than usual. I’m going pen shopping this week.

Any suggestions?

The Edge of Winter

The image on this postcard was created this month in Parrsboro, Nova Scotia. It is a plein air oil painting, that is presently on exhibit at the Art Lab Studios and Gallery at 121 Main Street, Parrsboro.

As always, Mary Ann, I love your notes. I have pens like that also. lol I have a container on my desk with about 12 pens and maybe 2 or 3 of them work. Today is the day, I start cleaning them out.
