Description:

Gustav Klimt's "Tree of Life" painting will be the inspiration for this Mail Art postcard. Interpret it in your own way, any art medium you want: sketch; paint; mixed media; collage, and so on. Standard Postcard size or larger if you wish. On the back side (Address side) write an inspiring quote for your partner to enjoy and anything else you would like to share. Mail naked (which means not in an envelope), & stamped and secure any embellishments. Make sure that you do neat work when cutting your materials.

Group rules apply. I would love to continue this as a series of Mail Art inspired by Famous Artists, Paintings, and Art Movements. If there are any in particular any members would like to see please let me know by commenting below.

Type in Klimt Tree of Life on Pinterest and there are lots of fun examples, the scrolly tree has a lot of different variations based on this painting. 4.98 to join.

This was really fun to make. I had never seen this painting before, now I feel inspired to make more. Thank you.

That's great to hear @JeanetteC ! I plan on keeping this going as a series and doing other artists and art movements. :)

I am so excited for this swap. Klimt is one of my favorite artists and I have always loved his tree of life painting. Thank you for coming up with such a fantastic swap idea.
