Snowmen Art Postcards and Art Posters by Geertje Kapteijns for Kapitein Kalk
WINTER FUN
Snowmen is an art post card or a small, A4 size poster for display.
Snowmen is a print of gorgeous chalk art by Geertje Kapteijns, a visual artist living in Dordrecht (NL). With its matte finish and rounded corners, this gorgeous art card has a museum quality that feels elegant.
In Snowmen, you feel that energized, spirited feel of childhood in winter. Even adults get a bit of that childhood energy back when building snowmen and playing on a snow day.
This is a nice card to have out as decor during the winter season, especially bitter cold January and February as the season finishes its final exhale before welcoming back the spring.

MORE ABOUT GEERTJE
When Geertje’s children attended a Waldorf school, she was introduced to how the seasons and annual festivals are celebrated and how children can be children during childhood. This has proved to be a huge source of inspiration.
She started making chalkboard drawings and over time, she released them as cards. The cards are small works of art that encourage a conscious reflection on a certain time of the year or event and the feeling that goes with that. Drawings that make you look forward to remembering a beautiful moment.
WHY CHALK ART
There is something magical about a chalkboard drawing. Because of the black background of a chalkboard, you not only apply color when you start drawing, but also light.
Chalk as a material is vulnerable but also very flexible, you can make quick impressions with it, but you can also work with it in detail. The board drawings are transient, and eventually will be erased. However, this also creates space for a new drawing.
Geertje uses this chalkboard chalk here for all her chalkboard drawings.
