Postcard No 3, France ... and a decision ...

Hi there folks. Well here's my postcard for France (I'm only doing them each fortnight although that may change now). I've also decided to write my story at the end when all my postcards have been created. This is because I was fretting too much about the story and that was making me shy away from actually creating the postcard - which seems silly. So I've decided I shall try and do as many of the postcards as I can and then fill in my story later, or when something worth developing comes to me, rather than trying to force a story that I'm not happy with. Anyway, this postcard shows one of the defining images of France, the French flag and on the white stripe La Tour d'Eiffel or Eiffel Tower as it's known in English. Either side on the red and blue stripes are as many famous french painters as I could fit on there. So, as they say, Vive la France ...


It provided me with the perfect opportunity to explore, in more depth, what we'd been talking about in my art class a few weeks ago - Pointoillism, as developed by Georges Seurat. I've decided I quite like it, especially the brightly coloured paintings by Paul Signac. I'm loving this art journey of discovery.
