Landscape Beautification Project

This is one of many images of my Landscape Beautification project. I don't remember if I've posted it before, but here it is again, if I have. I've enjoyed adding paintings to vintage landscape postcards, most of them kind of boring. Finding the right painting to fit into the image, the right angle, the right color, is challenging and fun for me.  This one was sent out to someone - I can't remember who - the other day.

On the reverse:
The townspeople gathered, each spring, on the shore of the Suwanee River to watch the shell flotilla as it passed by.

How did I get into this?

I was asked when I started doing Mailart. Good question. Like many artists, I was making and mailing art without even knowing it had a name ...
