The texture offered us to use for Photo Art Friday is called brown rice paper. I had a great time experimenting with it.I am once again using photo’s I took while on the train to New Mexico. These remind me of a vintage postcard I have in my collection. I love the simplicity and subtle color in both of them.I can relate to why Georgia O’Keefe fell in love with New Mexico and was inspired by the landscape.

At first glance, I thought “hey, this looks like one of those old postcards”. And it DOES! I’m a fan of the southwest (I live in Colorado and travel there) because it has SO many photo opportunities…..for those that SEE! Quite lovely!
