The Canadian Postcard Project's mandate is to bring Canadian artwork into public schools.
When I was in junior high I was both a budding artist and a dedicated pen-pal ... I can only imagine how exciting it must be for these young people to receive their own personal postcard sized piece of original art from a Canadian artist!
Each art student at the Kempenfelt Bay School in Barrie, Ontario views a painting from a selected artist and then creates their response to the painting.
Their postcard is then mailed to the artist.
The artist then creates an original piece in response to the postcard and mails it back to the student.

| One of the students viewed my painting 'Empty Nests' as their reference for inspiration. |  |
| This is the lovely post card that I received. A beautifully rendered bird to fill the nest! |  |
| And of course we all know that a bird builds a nest so that it can raise a family. This was my response to the young artist. |  |
