I'm gradually building the images available for cards. Just click on the card image to the right to see the current full library and below are a few examples. Remember, you can order as little as one card at a time or 10 and over discounts apply. Just email any queries to bettyjoyceartcards@gmail.com.

The original art photograph is placed on a card. Each card is approx 6.5 x 15cm and is blank inside. Both the card and envelope are made from high quality pearlised (slight sheen) card stock. The original photograph is hand cut to fit the card then a suitable border added as well as date and initials. The back is hand written with business name, image subject name in the centre and details are written at the bottom. Both card and envelope are sealed in a clear cello bag (price and order number are displayed on a white removeable sticker).

Welcome to Betty Joyce Art Cards


Still Life with Bottles (44)
Hi everyone,
I'll be posting a variety of images that are my original photographs, digitally collaged in an art program named Photoshop. I print these images and place them on quality card stock to produce mini artworks on blank cards. They are hand-labelled on the back with the title and order number in brackets and then, along with a matching envelope are placed into transparent cello bags and sealed. Each card (15 x 10.5 cm) can be purchased for just $5.00 when ordering via this blog - just email me with the details of your order and any queries that you may have.

The subject matter is taken mainly from my local area, the Blue Mountains just outside Sydney, Australia but many other places, people and images are featured. Still Life with Bottles (44) is one of five in a still life series. I took these outside an artist's studio in Katoomba and enjoyed the play of light on bottles and glasses.
Rooftops over Katoomba (24)

This is one in another series looking over the rooftops of Katoomba to the Blue Mountains in the distance. It features the weatherboard homes and chimneys which are common to many mountain dwellings. I have enhanced the colour and light and simplified the shapes.

I like to photograph people as well . . . below (number 40) is a friend dreaming of what could be whilst checking out the multitude of activities available at Walsh Bay in Sydney. The Writer's Festival was held there this year.
