This beautiful postcard arrived from the USA and shows teh oil painting “Dapnhe and Chloe” by the american painter Elizabeth Jane Gardner.
Elizabeth Jane Gardner (October 4, 1837 – January 28, 1922) was an American academic and salon painter, who was born in Exeter, New Hampshire. She was an American expatriate who died in Paris where she had lived most of her life. She studied in Paris under William-Adolphe Bouguereau (1825–1905), who she married in 1896. She adopted his subjects, compositions and even his smooth facture, adopted them so successfully that some of her work might be mistaken for his. In fact, she has been quoted as saying, “I know I am censured for not more boldly asserting my individuality, but I would rather be known as the best imitator of Bouguereau than be nobody!”
Thank you very much Elizabeth!

This postcard came from Russia and is related with the 2014 Winter Olympics Games, that will be celebrated from 7 to 23 February 2014 in Sochi, Russia, with some events held in the resort town of Krasnaya Polyana.
Sochi was selected as the host city on 4 July 2007 during the 119th IOC Session in Guatemala City, defeating bids from Salzburg, Austria; and Pyeongchang, South Korea. The Sochi Olympics are the first Winter Olympics (and first Olympics altogether) for the Russian Federation, as the 1980 Summer Olympics in Moscow were in the Soviet Union.
Thank you Emila!

This postcard arrived from Siberia.
Siberia is an extensive geographical region constituting almost all of North Asia. Comprising the central and eastern portion of the Russian Federation, Siberia was part of the Soviet Union (USSR) from its beginning, as of its predecessor states, the Tsardom of Russia and the Russian Empire since the 16th century.
The territory of Siberia extends eastward from the Ural Mountains to the watershed between the Pacific and Arctic drainage basins. Siberia stretches southward from the Arctic Ocean to the hills of north-central Kazakhstan, then to the national borders of Mongolia and China.
Siberia makes up about 77% of Russia’s territory (13.1 million square kilometres), but is home to only 28% (40 million people) of Russia’s population.
The postcard was send by Lina and it’s about the sky lanterns launch in the summer, where more than 2000 lanterns were in the sky at the same time
Thank you Lina!
