Remember when the mail was delivered by carrier pigeon?
This is a repost of one of my favorite paintings on an envelope. It now resides in Malaysia with my friend Caroline who won the giveaway!
Now I must get back to writing my holiday cards so I can get them in the mail!!
(acrylic and colored pencil on brown craft envelope, cancelled stamps)
Beautiful Rock Pigeon. It looks real. Well done.
What a lovely envelope. What a joy to find it in your old fashion mailbox.
Love the pigeon! I always enjoy seeing them in cities, all the color variations and the way they walk and fuss with each other. They act so human sometimes... ;D
Very charming!
XXOO~~♥

Much as I like the envelope, I was intrigued by your medium choices - acrylics and colored pencils. I've never mixed them together. I know you can guess what just went on my To-Do List.
Happy Christmas card writing,
Annie

Sending love to you, "SH", "Princess" and Bri..

What a beautiful illo! who knew that a pigeon could look so amazingly stunning! Great job! :D
Great work! Beautifully done.
now, if i say YES, oh sure i remember that, then that makes me like, reeeally old, right? which might be kind of cool as then i'd get to meet amelia ehrhart or marlene dietrich (she wanted to be left alone! even by pigeons!) hee, hee!
this is reallllly pretty, lollie! i love his colors and that it's on an envelope! "))
Just came across your blog. I love the concept of your illustration as well as the illustration itself. Well done!

Lovely work as always.
I really like this one! Great design and use of colour, a beautiful carrier pigeon!
Your mail goes by air and mine goes by pony express! lol. I love this one.
So beautiful! Lucky Caroline!
Well I know that happened but no I do not remember being there when it happened! LOL Same with pony express! Glad Caroline is enjoying that particular piece of mail. I love your art on brown paper!
Well, it's a great drawing, but I think it was passenger pigeons that delivered the mail. People killed off all the carrier pigeons, methinks.... Well, nope, I looked it up, and you had it right: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Passenger_Pigeon
Wow Lolo! What a beautidul painting and what a lucky girl that Caroline is! Never seen a lovelier pigeon!
Beautiful and lucky Caroline! But who better to have this treasure? :D
great take on the prompt
Oh ....yay!! There's my Lolo pigeon!! I can cerainly vouch for how wonderful it is in real life - the colours of the feathers are truly beautiful!! I was so lucky to win this and enjoy it everyday in my studio! Lovely that it gets another airing this week! xx
I love pigeons (and their cousins, doves), and that one is beautiful. My baby sister is terrified by them.
lovely. hope your hand is ok after writing all those cards.
Heisann!
Wonderful bird/envelope illustration.
I hope to make one for the topic within this week......
I wish you a joyful Christmas, many hugs from Bjørg Nina in winterwonderland
That's a lovely painting! I am sitting here watching doves and cardinals battle it out at our birdfeeder, so seeing this post is appropriate! :)) Happy holidays! xox Pam
love the thought of pigeons delivering mail - wouldn't that be cool? Sorta like Owls delivering packages, and mail.

Lovely! Lucky Caroline! Happy Holidays!

Beautiful beautiful pigeon. I haven't started this topic yet, but this is inspiring me. I totally believe in real mail--physical letters on cards that people make themselves, written with real handwriting. I have files and files of letters/art my friends sent me back when I was in my early 20's, and I"m trying to keep that tradition alive by sending folks real letters. If I get out one a month, I feel like I'm doing good, even though back in "the day" I probably sent out several a week.
Heisann, julsann!
This is my Christmas greeting to you:
