on horse back

Recent works on paper

Tired last night and couldn't think what to do with myself (as completed trashy novel the night before) and then I remembered DRAWING!!!

Here is what arrived:




On the peak



Camping in Balance

Recent Drawing inspired by the Dunkeld 2010 International Tree Drawing Competition

Join in the Dunkeld Tree Drawing competition for National Tree Day













Yep they really need to be scanned before submitting - and remember it must be in black and white...



But these works are directly from a Sampler in the Kyneton Museum - by a young woman back in the 1800s.



Plently more drawing fun there and also stitching these works up for my Kyneton exhibition happening in September!

Water Colour

Like so many parts of my life I have only a few hours of a week to enjoy my studio and also what is at my core - creative play. sigh

Often I say quietly and gently to myself - just do bit by bit - keeping my hand in with only a few hours a week in my studio will give me a base (although slim) for when I don't have extra hours in a office.

Tonight I enjoyed water colours again and took a new tangent in my drawing inspired by Iamana who I happened to bump into in (now days very rare idle flickringing)

That couple of hours of just playing and enjoying my own thoughts and company - my mouth closed to conversation and diversion- is so very healing and completely renewing.
