Art and Sole Postcard Challenge Week 12 - Israel

Wow, I'm SO behind on blogging my Postcards! I'm also behind on making them as I've missed loads of countries so far; Belgium, Wales, Cuba, Switzerland, Canada, and The Netherlands. However, I do reserve the right to scoot back to one or all of them over the course of the year.

So, week 12 took us to Israel. I did a search for Israeli artists and came across the work of Samy Briss (sometimes known as Sami Briss). Born in 1930, he had his first solo exhibition in 1967 and went on to become one of Israel's most popular artists. I like his mix of Cubist and Byzantine styles as they end up looking whimsical and much like some of the 'whimsy' artists popular online today (e.g. Willowing).

This is my version of his painting 'Song of Love'...

My little Min(x),

I will be happy to help you drink said Champagne, as long as you don't expect me to drink it from your shoe - I know you've been on your feet all day and those shoes will honk! ;P

I see you're off to Turkey next week - maybe you could sort me out some 'delight'??...

Yours hopefully,

S x
