Fall envelope art

these are from the oct exchange. tom (top) has clearly been taking some lessons. or, if he learned all of this on his own he is a wunderkind. below is chuck m's. i showed this one when he had just the oval and pumpkin. i like his choice of lettering, the rounds all complement each other and tucking the J behind the stem is very nice. thank you both for exchanging

Recently I was commissioned to do a series of paintings of woodland animals, plants, trees and forest scenes. Inspired, I decided to play with the same theme in my mail-art, too.
