Postcards from Europe - More Armchair Travel

My latest commission involved more arm chair travel. I am creating a painted collage of holiday memories using my client's original postcards. These have been carefully stored away - ready now to be used as inspiration for this painting.
Some of the places I have visited:
London - evening at Tower Bridge;
Sorrento - a view through the trees

The Blue Grotto - with magical midnight blue caves

Hydra, Greece

Germany for the Oktoberfest



The canvas measures 36" x 48" and there are eighteen images. Most postcards are quite small but when scanned I can enlarge them on my monitor for me to see the details easier.

These images are all work in progress. I'll post the completed painting soon.
Don't forget to comment on my previous post - Planning, Planners and a giveaway for a chance to win.

    Thanks Maggie and Helen. I hope to do the big photo today. The canvas should be dry enough to move back on to the easel.
