For Christmas of 2023 I bought my dad a watercolor set and some blank postcards. My intention was to send my parents an original image on a postcard each week. And I gave my dad supplies to do the same.

I have not kept up with my weekly deadline very consistently, and I have realized a gift that includes homework is not always successful. So I have not gotten any postcards from my father, but I am going to be posting the images I sent my parents.

Here is the first one I sent:

For Thanksgiving in 2023, we went to New York City to have it in McKelvey’s apartment for her senior year. While we were there, we went to the Macys Thanksgiving Day parade. This postcard is based off of an image I took from the sidewalk during the parade.

I actually finished it in Palm Springs December 2023, in the hotel we were staying at. I went to the front desk to find out where a Mail box was, and they offered to drop it in the mail for me. But it never arrived at my parents house. So this is its introduction to the world.
