I've framed these postcards and they're now on the wall of my kitchen. A nice little reminder of my former home in Toronto. :)

I bought this volleyball painting to give to my son on his birthday. He is an avid volleyball player and loves everything volleyball. When I found this painting by Ken on his Etsy site, I knew this was the perfect gift for my son. He really loves this painting and told me to tell you "thank you". I was very impressed with how well the picture was packaged for shipping and it arrived in a timely manner. Ken was a joy to correspond with and I wish him all the best in his future endeavours. He is a very talented young man.

5 out of 5 starsWhat a brilliant artist and a fine human being. I inadvertently submitted the wrong address and Ken was so kind and concerned that he sent another at no charge. He requested updates as to when the package arrived and was willing to do anything to help me out. The art itself arrived in spectacular wrapping and the postcard is exquisitely executed. I wish this artist all the best and thank him for his good humour and kindness.

5 out of 5 starsI'm so happy I found this postcard, it is perfect! It reminds me of home and I will be placing it in a frame. It brings back many good memories of visits to Chinatown and taking the streetcar to get there. The postcard was packaged beautifully and communication was excellent. Thanks Ken for sharing your fantastic art and making it available on etsy!

About dreamsouth
Hand-Painted Watercolor Paper Goods with Heart & Soul
First of all, thank you for visiting my little art shop!
Back in 2012, I decided to challenge myself and try sell original watercolour postcards for donations to a charity. All of the postcards were drawn on-site, as I wanted to keep the challenge as authentic as possible. The subject for each postcard is of places of interest around Toronto.
Since then, I have received a lot of interest in my postcards, so I decided to open this shop for those interested in my current and future artworks.
I pour my heart and soul into every piece, and nothing makes me happier than seeing my art having a spot in someone's home.
If you would like to order a custom piece, or have inquiries about wholesale, please contact me for more info. Happy shopping!
