4x6 Swap - Round 8 Gallery - January 2024

Don’t worry about it! Stay safe, and I hope the snow gives you a chance to hunker down and rest a little.

Glad everyone likes Irwin. Thank you for the kind words.

@gozer, that is an adorable cat, and the flowered background is perfection!

I received from @photojenn today!! Ah! I love it!!

A misty forest scene in watercolors! :black_heart:

It reminds me of the Adirondacks and Endor. Such moody vibes.

Jenn sent in a card decorated with a scan of her artwork from @jemimah’s watercolor class:

Thank you so much Jenn!

@photojenn why did your piece give you swap anxiety? Now I’m having it because you had it over that marvellous work of art!

I just received from @Abbeeroad! She sent her artwork in a card that is equally as beautiful! In case you can’t tell which is which, the artwork is the black flower. So pretty. Love that shade of purple.

and I took an extra shot to show the shimmer on the card. The gold is a metallic gold.

Both are magnificent! Thank you so much for swapping with me!!!

It looks like the mail should start pouring in now. Can’t wait for the gallery to fill up!

Yay!! My art pieces ended up being simpler than I was comfortable with when I found out who I was sending to (real artists!!), so I amped up the art with the card. :laughing:

Loving the watercolors from @photojenn - the outlining on the shore cliffs is excellent.
