animal postcards



I've started a new collection for you. Everytime we go to a museum, we pick out one animal postcard for you. Here are a few of my favorites. Your favorite is definitely the top one:
A Boy Asking Alms from a Man on Horseback
Willhelm von Kobell (1766-1853)

Watercolor over a sketch in graphite

10 1/4 x 11 1/8 inches

The Pierpont Morgan Library
Here you are thoroughly examining it:


So, that being said, I'd like to ask anyone reading this to send Jackson an animal postcard the next time you go to a museum! If you need his address, email me and I will get it to you. It can be like pen-palling with an art lesson included!
