Carmela's brilliant "Optical Chromatic Dispersion" is nearly dizzying in this colorful postcard. It's actually detail of a wild tempura painting. It works very nicely as it's own little universe and is rather handsome in a 4th Dimension kind of way! The reverse side was an engagingly pleasant note (thank you), which I never publish, and the following postage stamp.
This beautiful bicentennial commemoration of the official launch of the Lewis and Clark Expedition (1804 - 2004). Featuring the two valiant leaders standing on a mountainside surveying the outlying lands. Lewis and Clark were in the vicinity of my town and a lot has been recorded about them around here. Just down the street is the Lewis and Clark Hotel and just a few miles from my home is the Lewis and Clark campground and numerous streets and businesses are named after them. Anyway, I like it. Thank you very much Carmela - Loved your card and see ya in the mail.
Isn't this a wonderful stamp! Glad that you liked it. Note the embossed edge around the image--a more complex printing technique than one usually finds on stamps.
