Paint Party Friday - Postcard Request



Welcome to Paint Party Friday!

Regine requested that we send postcards to the local teachers in El Paso who want to demonstrate to their students that there is kindness in the world in the wake of recent shootings. I was happy to participate in this initiative and set about painting a Toronto postcard as pictured above. This is what I mailed out to one of the teachers yesterday, my printer did not copy the postcard perfectly so I went over the copy with a marker:

I LOVE your Toronto skyline painting and your reason for doing it. You need to make sure and post it on social media with the #ElPasoChallenge, which was started by the 11 year old boy, Ruben Martinez, to spread good deeds after the shooting. You can read about him here:

The "postcards of kindness" are a thoughtful idea. Your rendition of Toronto is very creative.

Wishing you a happy weekend!

What a wonderful thing to do. I hadn't heard about sending post cards to teachers in El Paso. That was a horrible incident for young and old alike. There's so much hate in this world now showing children there is love and kindness is so important now. - Margy
