TL;DR: I send you one hand-painted postcard, you send me any type of postcard, commercial or handmade, on any topic, touristy, arts, goofy...

The long version:

A couple of years ago, I started watercolor painting. It was a sort of therapy for grief. This year I decided to follow the Inktober prompts for inspiration. I never posted them, so you won’t find them online, also because the only ink is from the lines, in these line-and-wash watercolors. I was pleased with some of the results, so I decided to remake them into postcards to send to people on RAoC.

Now, these are not professionally painted cards, they have plenty of imperfections (Fowl and Trip especially), so please don’t expect works of art. They are quite simple, some of them straight up minimalist. But if you are interested in receiving a hand-painted postcard in the mail, then I hope you will consider these. I was hoping to keep the actual subject painted kind of a surprise, but I understand some things might not be appreciated, so I marked them. Others are kind of obvious. The rest, however, will remain a bit of a mystery until you receive them.

Options:

Trip

Camping

Ponytail

Fowl

Snack (features peanuts)

Tempting

Bluff

Heist

Bad dog

Farm

Salty (anchovies)

Nest

So, if you’re interested in receiving a non-holiday-themed card, for whatever reason (esp. if this is a tough time of year for you), I hope you will consider taking part in this exchange with me.
