Blackberries

Finally I have got a postcard. Today I opened my mailbox and I found this tasty card inside :)

The postcard came to me from The Netherlands from Natalie. It showed a painting by Margaret Tarrant (1888 -  1959). She was a daughter of the artist Percy Tarrant, trained at Clapham School of Art and at Heartherley's. She worked in watercolour, painted figurative subjects, landscapes and wild flowers, but is best know for her illustrations for children's book an designs for cards. much of her painting was inspired by the Surrey countryside, where she lived, but also travelled abroad gathering material for her work.
