I’ve made an original #postcard every month for 8 years for my patrons, and this month’s postcard is a milestone!

A graphic titled 100th postcard showing a postcard I drew for April’s patrons with Winnie-the-Pooh dancing in nine rectangles like Gene Kelly from Singing in the Rain.

You guys ... look what the #Postcrossing gods brought me today!

Could there be a more perfect #postcard for #Doorsday??

The sender gave me the mission to come to Ireland, find at least one of these doors, and send them a pic. Challenge accepted!

A rectangular postcard titled "Doors of Dublin" is displayed against a blurred, textured brown surface. The postcard features a grid of 30 photographs, arranged in six rows and five columns, each depicting a different brightly coloured Georgian doorway from Dublin.
The doors are predominantly set into brick facades, varying in colour from pale cream to darker red-brown. Each doorway is framed by decorative architectural elements, including fanlights above the doors, some with intricate glass patterns. The doors themselves are painted in a vibrant array of colours: yellow, green, white, light blue, dark blue, red, pink, purple, black, and brown.
The style of the doors is consistent, typically panelled with brass or black hardware, including letterboxes, door knockers, and handles. Some doorways are adorned with potted plants or small decorative features. The text "Doors of Dublin" is printed in a simple font at the bottom of the postcard.

We sat by the river for a good hour, and I painted a postcard and watched the muddy river go by, while my nervous system slowly regulated. It took longer than I liked to settle in, but the fact that it happened at all was cause for celebration. Slow improvements! I still have lots of hope.
