Postcard #22: Tiny Little Angel
Art: none credited
Now, I'm usually not one for angels, but this was too pretty to pass up. The brushwork on her curly hair is just gorgeous.
It also really helps that the little angel looks so focused on tying a ribbon on the rabbit - It's serious-business yo!
The back of the postcard features a faint, miniature version of this, which made me feel a little bit bad for writing on it.
This is going out to Russia for a postcard swap.

I have to say, I am slowly becoming that crazy lady that always loiters at the thrift store... But it is so rewarding.
This is the first of a Mark Tansey card collection I found at the thrift store.
Mark Tansey is an American artist that specializes in oil paintings on canvases; his "trademark" seems to be a sort of old-fashioned, monochromatic style that uses one single color to set the mood. In this case, we have a sort of purplish/ magenta; to me, it says a sort of elegant nostalgia.
Another thing about Tansey paintings is that they remind me a (very little) bit of Magritte art, such as the realism and the contradiction. I'll be posting more of the Tansey collection postcards, and you guys will probably see what I mean by contradiction.
