I have to paint you and immortalise your heroic selfless acts in that of rescuing our vulnerable, sick Koalas left to fend for themselves often on their own after our fires. You are the hero.
life
National disaster
So much darkness, heat, smoke, loss of life, nature and belongings.
My pink rose bed.
The brushes will definitely be put to use to capture some of my garden before we leave our home of 15 years. Life throws curveballs.
The stronger the hold the further you may go
Those days that feel fraught with ‘what if’s’ are really the inner self fear response rising it’s trying head again.
Although without those fear moments what can really push us forward. Livin on the edge a little may force you to stabilize those feelings and ‘hang on’…
These beauties sketching
Scribbling and chillin
Ink, pencil, pastels and gouache in my journal
Cruising down highways with flowers in her hair, the beautiful Priscilla.
Birds in their natural surrounds are enchanting.
Pomegranate and its luscious red hues.
Elephants cooling off
Always find this the fun, nerve wracking part of creating; the starting block in stages.
I’m loving playing with lights and darks on these grand Elephants and placing them in the murky dark ponds of their natural environment.
Still much more work to get over the finish line with this one.
My kids rep cricket day was a hot one in Melbourne 34 degrees C.
I always have my sketch gear with me at long cricket days. I figure I get to watch but when I’ve had enough I’ll just sketch. These blokes had no idea they featured in my sketchbook ha!
It was 34 degrees in Melbourne and the game was out in a suburb called Werribee. The field was big, flat with no trees of course. Along way from home. Our team got wiped out so not through to the finals.
Aaaaaahhhhh another hot summer of cricket.
