This is Fabio´s envelope. Also as cool as the card itself :-)

Mail arrived!!!

I am posting the works of art I received lately.
Thank you all.
It is so exciting getting home, opening the mail box and find an envelope from another artist, someone we never met, but somehow we feel conected through Art. This is my first Mail Art Project. It is a shame I have never done something like this before....

I like the beetle :-)
I can even risk to say it is a Curculionidae...

This Cetonini was done in watercolor. Beetles are great fun to paint. They are so varied in colours and shapes... here lies their beauty

This Scarabaeidae was done in watercolor. The green has a metallic sheen, I used an iridescent medium from Winsor and Newton to great advantage, but it does not reproduce. the effect is only seen on the original painting...
