2012 Art Canada series
the domestic stamp features Fafard's bovine sculpture Smoothly She Shifted, the US stamp shows Dear Vincent and the international stamp has a trio of Fafard's Capillery laser cut steel horses Sunday Stamps
I was kind of surprised that there were three rates. I think the last time I sent a letter to Canada, it didn't cost extra or maybe 1¢ (long ago!) The USPS rates are so difficult to find that I couldn't find the price to Canada now without going through a lot of calculator steps and then finding that it is the same as other international rates.
I've been sent horses stamps but didn't realise they were part of a mini sheet. I've now looked up his laser cut horses , they look marvelous galloping as a whole.

I had to look up Joe Fafard and to find out who 'Dear Vincent' was. The stamps with the horses is super.
I love these! I have received the cow (http://vachequiritpostalproject.blogspot.com/2013/07/so-bilingual.html).
We have coincided in Vincent... :D
I wish I had visited the Montreal museum when I was there. Wonderful works.

Thank you for your entry - and thank you for taking on Sunday Stamps.
Lovely stamps, I thought I recalled seeing the cow somewhere before - on Eva's VQR project :)

I think this is one of my favourite stamp sheets! Alas I've received non of these, but thanks to you we still can enjoy this sheet.
And thank you, Violet Sky, for continuing Sunday Stamps!
