I hope this watercolour might just qualify for this week's Illustration Friday word 'Mail'! I'm fond of collaging postmarks and stamps into my illustrations.

  2. What exotic (to me) birds you have. I like the way you have incorporated the postmarks into your sketches. They tell where the birds come from.

  4. These are exquisitely beautiful. It makes me feel somehow like I'm living in Hawaii--or that someone is getting mail from Hawaii, or Panama, or somewhere else where the light is like that, and there are beautiful birds like that. Lovely!
