Kiwi bird — sketch: colour pencil, brush and ink

Paint, ink, brushes, sketchbooks, walking shoes- check - bag packed. One week back in the office and I'm ready for a holiday- so off to New Zealand I go. Looking forward  to a week of admiring the North Eastern coast of the North Island while trying out my new traveling tin  of pan watercolours. Here's hoping the sun is out and my ink doesn't leak all over the inside of my bag. Ink double bagged- yes...

See you in a week!

Luna Park —commission: watercolour, gouache, brush and ink

 

As part of a commission request, over December there was a focus on Luna Park, St Kilda. To close the project I thought it would be fitting to share the final three pieces as they were delivered. Hopefully they will sit happily in their new home for some time to come.

Beagle 'Nellie' — Sketch: brush and ink

Whilst walking on the eve of New Years we stumbled across 'Nellie' the beagle. Startled by early fireworks Nellie had dangerously dashed her way through heavy traffic only to collapse into a shaken heap.  We sat with Nellie until she was calm and her owners were reached and reunited. A big thank you to the National Pet Registry for answering the call. Unfortunately by the tired tone of the operator they had encountered a big night. A note to all the dog owners out there.

This sketch is for Nellie, Jade and Kate. A satisfying way to start the new year.
