About This Design

"A Midsummer Night's Dream" Postcard

"A Midsummer Night's Dream" Postcard

Might be my favourite painting I've ever done - "A Midsummer Night's Dream" - certainly one of my largest and most complex. Inspired of course by Shakespeare's "A Midsummer Night's Dream" - one of my favourite plays! Queen Titania is featured most prominently, her jealous king Oberon has convinced Puck (depicted here as a classical Cupid-like figure based a little bit off my nephew Fox) to use a love-potion made from magical violets to cause Titania to fall in love with actor Nick Bottom (who has just been magically given the head of a Donkey). Follow all that? All the other faeries are out in this Midsummer's Night forest scene - a procession leading into the twilight as the faeries turn into luminous moths. You can seven see a mermaid and a classical dolphin-fish as a nod to the whole Oberon/dolphin/mermaid reference. A lot of classical references hiding in this piece, actually! The magical glowing lights really do almost look like they're glowing, but no - this is a hand painted piece with no lighting effects, hehe, done the old fashioned way - an original acrylic painting on wood.

Exactly what I wanted, it is very difficult to acquire Vintage Australiana items. I am so please that I ordered 8 I will be using them for my scrap booking and Junk Journaling. Gorgeous, Zazzle produced and delivered exactly what I wanted.

Way better quality than I ever expected. I love the colours, font and quality of the card. I'm so pleased I found Zazzle as it is near impossible to purchase Vintage or Retro Australian memorabilia online. I chose this design when I purchased them. They are perfect for my projects. I was very specific about what I wanted. I know where to come now when I need to order similar items.

Perfect for the occasion I was using it for. I was able to delete the lines so I could put in more wording. Had an envelope so the address side wasn't necessary. Print quality and paper quality lovely.
