I started this drawing last year, to be part of the last collection of drawings but it missed the cut off point due to the accident and holidays etc etc. Life, basically. But I think that it’s a beautiful drawing, because of the belly. Bellies 4 eva!

Rambles and pictures
This Saturday the 26th of March, from 2PM to 4PM at the Art Gallery of Ballarat ( in the McCain annexe ) will be the launch of Bronwyn Blaiklock’s poetry collection, Etching My Initials. My drawing ( from my most recent collection of drawings ) graces the front cover. So if you’re in or around Ballarat town, make the journey to the gallery for some poetry good times.
Other than that, I am still recovering from my large piece that I finished last week…
It’s next level and I really have to lift my game in regards to my practice. I think it is ok to have a few days off to do admin and everything else and maybe rest?
I’ve also been doing a lot of walking and wandering and thinking and exercising and cooking and reading and cuddling my kitty.
So it is school holidays now, so I won’t be traveling and getting models to sit for me for a few weeks. But I’ll be straight back into it after the holidays. Ohh, and I am going to bake some healthy hot cross buns for us.. Because it is very depressing to find out how much crap goes into packet food. I’ve gotten some fancy pants rye and spelt flour. Happy holidays to you!

Morning Song – A new drawing
Still life drawing
This is the fourth drawings from the domestic scenes I am doing .. ( more here ) All work follows a certain trajectory, but I feel this one has made quite the leap and is way, way, way better than the rest.
No complaints from me 🙂

It’s Sunday and as I write this I have a squeaky, purring kitten rubbing her face all over mine. She’s filthy because she’s just come in from her brief escape outside, to her favourite place under the house. I can’t believe how good baby things smell. Even when they are filthy.
We went to a wedding yesterday – the ceremony was incredibly beautiful. And to top it all off there was a kookaburra sitting high up in the gum trees watching us all.
Everything was so beautiful and I’m still buzzing from it all. I’m so glad to be home in my pyjamas drinking coffee and getting back to this drawing which I WILL FINISH THIS WEEK
See you on the other side

The drawing wall
Art, photos, scribbles, notes, origami all around the house is what I have always wanted. So now that we have our own place and I don’t have to stress about the blu tack police we have been getting busy with our ‘drawing wall’. I find that talking about what it is kidlet has captured or constructed really boosts self esteem and motivation. Though we will have to take this down at some point ( to paint over the hirrid peach colour the wall currently is ) it’s all going to go back up and be added to over time.
