This one needed something else but I never figured out what. I was inspired by Nina Tran's work. She calls her style Sketchy Stunt Roman. Clearly, that pattern of straight lines would have been perfect with this stamp - but - I had not planned out how the February envelopes were going to go, so we ended up with a pitiful hodgepodge.

I saw this at the Staff Exhibition at the museum in. my back yard. I thought the person might have worked at Sticks prior to working at the museum - so I enquired - and nope, she did not. Jenny Mally is her name and she has a website and Etsy shop. She actually started painting in this whimsical style back in the 20th century at the same time that Sticks was just starting - so, it's a whimsical, naive style - and it might be the inspiration for my March envelopes.
Here is a link to her Etsy shop
