ART FROM THE ROAD: Sunday Postcard Art (03-19-17)

Sadly, because of our travel schedule (and locations), I missed participating in the Sunday Postcard Art challenge last week. This week, however, I find myself in the same place for three days, so there was ample time to unpack sufficient art supplies to get the job done for this week's VINTAGE GENTS challenge. Trace is our host. I hope you'll take a moment to visit her blog.

 I have two vintage gent stamps from Stampers Anonymous (Tim Holtz Collection), but have used only one of them and repeatedly--perhaps because I view him as the more handsome of the two! Today, I was ready to use the second of these gents--a bit more "scruffy" but nonetheless a dapper fellow. My quote search was originally focused on the monocle, but nothing really caught my fancy so I enlarged the search to include gentlemen's clothes. Searching for the perfect quote to accompany your artwork is often time consuming, but always fun. Loved this quote from Arthur Ashe, the tennis pro, the moment I saw it!

I hope you will carve out some time to play along with Trace's challenge this week. You can find the details here. Thanks for coming by today and for taking a moment to leave a comment. Both serve as inspiration to me!

 Cheers!

    Great piece! The quote really does add to the effect so I am glad you took the effort required to find it! It made me laugh. Immediately images of the back story flooded my head. Great story telling!
