Friday 18th Sept was the opening night of the Linden Postcard Show 2015 at St Kilda, Melbourne. I entered three drawings again this year.
This is an open entry exhibition and all entries must measure 8” (20cm) x 10” (25.5cm) .There are over 900 small format artworks adorning the gallery walls at Linden Centre for Contemporary Arts .Why is it called Postcard show ? One of the prizes is that the artwork is reproduced on a Postcard for Linden to sell during the year.
Here are my entries. They are all drawn with watercolour pencil. The feathers are on 210 gsm watercolour paper. The airmail parcel works are on heavy paper, chosen for its weight and colour. It had to look like the sort of mail you would receive in the post. As an added extra , it is actually folded like an envelope, with a back flap that you can open and put things in. I am not sure how Australia Post would cope with it !
All artworks are available for sale ! contact Linden New Art
If you like the feather I have a very similar drawing printed as a Greeting card. See my Etsy site to purchase.
Opening night was great fun, meeting with other friends to see all the artwork.
Prizes are announced
If you are in Melbourne, please visit. It is open until 21 NOVEMBER 2015 .
