Forgotten Postcard Amsterdam, The Netherlands
It’s been ages since I added some new work to my Forgotten Postcards series. With the next Brussels Accessible Art Fair quickly approaching in June, I’ve buckled down to work on some new pieces which I post over the next few days.
Although a few of my early postcards were from Kinderdijk, in the Netherlands, I … more
Lessons from my First Art Fair
After a whirlwind weekend of meeting people, answering questions and selling my work, things are finally starting to settle down after the Brussels Accessible Art Fair. Overall, my experience selling at my first art fair was very positive, but I did learn a few lessons for my next event.

Japanese Tower, Belgium – Forgotten Postcard
While this looks like a scene straight from Japan, this photo was actually taken here in Belgium. This is the view of the Japanese Tower from the gardens of the Royal Palace in Laeken, Belgium. Léopold II had the tower constructed along with a Chinese pavillion which were inaugurated in 1905. The tower houses a collection … more
Grand Place, Belgium – Forgotten Postcard
The latest image in my Forgotten Postcards series comes from Brussels’ Grand Place. This is the top of the Maison du Roi (House of the king in French). In Dutch it is known as the Broodhuis(or Bread house) because it stands on the spot of the former 13th century bakers’ market.

Valletta, Malta – Forgotten Postcard
It’s been a while since I’ve shared a new Forgotten Postcard with you. I took the photo for this one from a boat in Valletta harbour on the island of Malta.

Parc Cinquantenaire, Belgium – Forgotten Postcard
Parc Cinquantenaire, or Jubelpark in Dutch, is one of Brussels, Belgium’s most famous landmarks. The centrepiece triumphal arch was erected in 1905 and it’s age and grandeur certainly lend itself to the Forgotten Postcard treatment.

Groot-Bijgaarden Castle, Belgium – Forgotten Postcard
It’s been quite a while since I created a new Forgotten Postcard. I realized (well my husband pointed out) that I hadn’t done a Belgian one yet. So I present the Forgotten Groot-Bijgaarden. The Flemish architecture really seems to lend itself to the aging treatment. This image consists of 12 layers (give or take).

Pont-du-Gard, France – Forgotten Postcard
I needed to do something a little more creative today after days of editing my California images, so I decided to take another crack at the Forgotten Postcards series.
This image was taken at the Pont du Gard aqueduct in Southern France. I’ve been to this location 3 times now, and it never ceases to amaze me … more
Venice, Italy 3 – Forgotten Postcard
This final Forgotten Postcard from Venice, Italy shows the typical gondolas in the Grand Canal. One again I used Photoshop to alter the image to age and distress it.

Venice, Italy 1 – Forgotten Postcard
Venice really lends itself to the Forgotten Postcard concept. The timelessness of the city and its canals is what makes it special.

Venice, Italy 2 – Forgotten Postcard
I’m up to my old tricks again! I’m now truly hooked on the Forgotten Postcard concept. I went digging through my old photos today to find some that I wasn’t altogether happy with to see what could be done.
Venice is one of those timeless, European cities. I haven’t had the best of luck photographing it … more
Kinderdijk Windmill, The Netherlands – Forgotten Postcard
This is another image taken on the same day as the other Kinderdijk Postcard. I really liked the way yesterday’s altered windmill turned out, so I decided to work on another one today. I hope you like it!
