This blog was created to document mail art responses to a Paint-Your-Own Masterpiece coloring book that I sent out to selected mail artists to participate over the course of 2020. The finished works from the initial project are featured in the first transformations video here.

Cathi Schwalbe

Cathi Schwalbe of Illinois USA sent two fragile Mona Lisas to be handled with care...

And a blast from the past - her recreated Girl with a Pearl Earring from the original Masterpieces series with actual 3D pearl pin piercings.

Ferenc Nagy

Ferenc Nagy of Germany sent the most incredible Mona Lisa homage to Norman Rockwell and Bob Ross I've seen. Very nice. Sadly, my scanner cannot capture the subtle detail of the paint.

Jonathan Leiter

Jonathan Leiter of New York USA sent this Elegy for an Abstract Expressionist, Jackson Pollack. I know this wasn't meant for this project but it totally fits so I'm posting it anyway. :)
