Cats & Dogs

Posted by on

I had the very fun opportunity to sketch REAL cats and dogs at the National Gallery of Victoria this week for the announcement of the Cats & Dogs exhibition opening November 1st.

This is me drawing Poppy, she looks like the kitty in the Grace Cossington Smith’s Quaker Girl painting in the background. My face says how happy I am:

I did see some of the news footage for this and I have Very Serious Concentration Face on which is very stern but that’s me in the zone.

Here’s one with all the good bois and girls:

There’s Floyd, Jess, Abbey, GG, Choffee and Teddy.

Thank you for the opportunity NGV it is a career highlight!

Sketching in pencil

Still plugging away with some pencil sketches exploring ideas. I think they will be paintings. Some are soft beautiful moments while others are brutal and quite honestly come with the best titles.

Thank you to one of my very best friends for letting me capture this moment in her life.

Some sketches, a drawing

Hello March, when autumn should be here but we all know there will be hot and windy days ahead. February was quite the time. I’ve slowed down on the sketches because I have another large drawing on the go..

Can I tell you how wonderful it is to be free from study at the moment. Bliss. Brain clutter is clearing. I work and then when I have downtime and that is free time. Freeeeeee.

It was a dear friends birthday recently, I did a little drawing of their amazing boy – it is wonderful watching him come out of his shell.

I enjoy drawing peoples pets that I have spent time with, I have the chance to try and capture their personality too.

I might put together a zine and blog post of Cats I Have Known but not at the moment, I got freakin ferns to draw.

GOODBYE FOR NOW.
