TSP2013 - Pick Up the Mail

Pick up the Mail from the Mail Room
Watercolour with Ink

In the late afternoon I head down to the mail room to pick up our mail.

I drew my hand a lot knobbier than it is, and my arm a lot thinner. My son had a good laugh about that, when he saw this. I actually have pudgy hands and a chubby arm.

These days I mostly get advertisements and bills in the mail. It is rare to get a snail mail letter or card. However, when I do, it is a great pleasure.

Every Day in May Challenge # 28

Draw a mailbox and write about the most important piece of real world mail you’ve ever received

Ink, Derwent InkTense, and Watercolour

I chose to draw the mailbox I would have if I lived on a farm.

All the outgoing mailboxes are too far from my home for me to casually wander out and draw them. Here is what outgoing mailboxes look like in our city.

Canada Post Mailbox

The incoming mailboxes in our building are functional but boring.

Our Building's Mail Room

At this time, I cannot think of any important real world mail I have received, but I am sure I have received important real world mail at some time in my life.

(Oh, in case you can't guess ... I really like roosters)
