Under skin, under earth
I’ve started a drawing and I’m in love with it so far and still unsure if it will work or not. It’s a little different, in subject and in approach and I am having fun.

Crawling, new drawing
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!

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 🙂
Launch of New Drawings
The launch of my New Drawings and Darren McDonald’s Something Worth Fighting For at Scott Livesey Galleries last night was wonderful. Both exhibitions were opened by Scott Livesey and Dr Sarah Engledow, from the National Portrait Gallery. Sarah said that the three things women hate about their bodies are toes, bellies and body hair – which feature heavily in my works. She said she had never seen so many toes and that after looking at the works she began to look at her fellow humans with more sympathy. I was really touched by her words.
All photos are by Gene.
Thank you to everyone who came and spread the word about the exhibition. It is on until the 24th of February. All works are for sale.

The drawing board
I am feeling pretty excited about the work I have showing, the work I have going and the work that is yet to come. I feel very inspired but also very determined and resolute.
I must book in models in the coming months so if you read this and are up for it – email me!

New Drawings – Exhibition
Dear readers,
I am very pleased and proud to announce that I have an exhibition opening next Thursday the 11th of February, 6 to 8PM at Scott Livesey Galleries in Melbourne.
I’m really proud of the work that I have made, and look forward to seeing it all together in the gallery.
The exhibition runs until the 24th of February – which covers two weekends so that should be handy for a lot of people!
Best to you,
LMM
