New Camera

Bought a new camera this weekend so we can take some great pics on our big trip.  Practicing in the garden I was amazed by the sharp colours on this photo of an Acanthus flower.

Creating again!

It's awhile since I last posted anything, it's been a busy month with a trip to the UK to see family and friends. We had a great time even though we didn't stay too long. We are off again in a couple of weeks for a trip of a lifetime which I'll blog about when I return. Anyway I have been trying to create new work this week. My crimson Rosella is a watercolour in progress ( the wing feathers are not quite right yet).

Spring Again!

It's a great time of the year in the garden, there are some spectacular colours and textures!

Illustration Friday: Identical

Have just been busy today completing some new work for my shops. They are perfect for Illustration Friday this week!

Short break up north

A face only a mother could love, I'm glad I was on the boat!

Fitzroy Island. The beach is made of dead fossilised coral.

Fitzroy Island

A trip up to tropical Cairns was a great long weekend break. We spent a couple of days in the beautiful Daintree Rainforest and then a full day on Fitzroy Island, it was a bit of a shock to return to chilly Melbourne!

Illustration Friday; Lonely

This little owl is feeling very lonely and needs somebody to love!

Illustration Friday: Suspend

This illustration was completed as an assignment about three years ago when I was studying illustration. It is one of three, the other two can be seen on my website. The story is about a little monster who wakes up at night, cuts nose hairs off sleeping people and then re-sticks the hair onto unwitting creatures. This explains the spider with a moustache!

More birds!

Just having a quiet afternoon when a large flock of yellow tailed Cockatoos descended on the bushes in the garden. The camera doesn't show them very well, just look carefully.
