Adelaide Perry Prize for Drawing 2026
I am really pleased to be selected as a finalist for the Adelaide Perry Prize for Drawing 2026 in Sydney.
The exhibition is from the 27th of February until the 28th of March.
Congratulation and good luck to all the other finalists and yay to drawing!
drawing from life
One of the many drawings tucked away safely in one of the many sketchbooks we have stacked about the place.
Daughter and I go through them every year or so and reminisce about the time we drew certain things or discuss how much we have come in technique. Really special.
Sanctum
A (very beautiful) woman said to me that I can finish this drawing in time for an exhibition in September, I had been doubting myself. The drawing is currently being framed by my fabulous framer and friend. Really pleased to be making larger works again.
blind contour line drawings
Daily practice is still daily, definitely not always good but very much enjoy these exercises:
Would you like a small, medium or large beverage?
Primrose
It is sunny! I went for a very long walk today. Yesterday I tried to finish off an almost 4,000 paper. It’s still not quite there but I just had to walk, and draw, today.
Wreckage
Blind continuous line drawings – suits the experience; the complete lack of control and the chaos and the speed of it all.
Then sketchy sketches, drawn fast.
This is what I have to work with.
