Card No. 2607 | Safe Anchorage | David L. Cawthorne

Quiet boats at their moorings, still turquoise water, green headlands folding into the distance — Safe Anchorage is calm and restorative, the kind of view you could sit with for hours. Painted in oils by MFPA artist David L. Cawthorne, this peaceful harbour scene suits a birthday, a retirement, a Father's Day message, a with-sympathy or thinking-of-you note, or a card for anyone who loves the sea and sailing.

David L. Cawthorne worked as a miner and played rugby league before a spinal injury during a match in 1981 left him almost completely paralysed. He discovered mouth painting through his therapy, and with the encouragement of family and friends went on to earn a scholarship and become an associate member of the artists' association — painting, above all, the landscapes of his home region. This card carries one of his oil paintings.
