A Brazilian postcrosser named Aline made this super card about her country. Using a postcard from the Oscar Niemeyer Museum, she added an altered image of a painting by Candido Portinari, one of Brazil's best-known artists, who often collaborated with the famed architect Niemeyer. The four Portuguese words--carnival, samba, coffee, and beaches in English--represent important elements of Brazilian culture. She also made a tiny rendition of the Brazilian flag and explained its colors: green = forest, yellow = gold, and blue = sky. Many thanks!Saturday, April 25, 2009
