Author's Note:

This was done in oils at 13" x 19" then cropped and resized. It has a complete underpainting of the brown then a wet on wet with the other colors blending them on the canvas. I used paint thinner, cotton ear swabs and a white cotton cloth to lift out the lighter areas. I then digitally shot it and took it into Adobe Photoshop CS to add the type and solid red and green fields on the top and bottom. I then printed it out on 4" x 6" high gloss photo paper and put a thin clear coat onto the surface to protect the ink. Prior to printing the front side, I printed a postcard type layout on the backside of the paper so I could send them in the mail.
