I was very lucky to see Reuben Kaye perform last night just before he heads back to the UK for a while. What a show!

REUBEN KAYE 

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.

Info here: LINK

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!

While I am meant to be working on some other things I procrastinated with drawing this gorgeous pup friend. I have no regrets 😛

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.

Here she is!

This is what my healing looks like. <3
