My new artwork on canvas of an Australian native bird is available on throw cushions, tote bags and ipad covers on Red Bubble. I'll be giving some to loved ones this Christmas for sure!
Baking with paint and paper
Have been itching to paint cupcakes for awhile. I have lots of friends who are master bakers and I always envy their baking skills. So I was inspired to paint some cupcakes. Hmmm... feeling hungry now!
I'm back!!
Willy Wagtail bird ( based on a photo I took back in Perth) with Flannel Flowers and butterflies.I haven't posted artwork for so a long... What with having a baby and moving twice, franticly renovating to sell (twice) and renovating to live in, plus not having a working scanner for a long time. In the last year or so I have been doing lots of sketching and collecting ideas in my journals, but haven't done any finished artworks until now. I'm feeling very rusty, but I am really enjoying drawing and painting again.

Illustration Friday - Plain
Mixed media (black ink, watercolours, tea and acrylic inks).
"The Crow and the Peacock"
[EDIT] I didn't realise that there was a fable about the Crow and the Peacock until Stephanie mentioned the fable in her comment. Or maybe I had heard the story before and it was somewhere in the corners of my mind.
I started out wanting to paint a crow in ink and then I thought I should put it next to something bright and colourful in comparison.
Inspire Me Thursday - Giving
I painted these canvases for my nieces and nephews in a bid to have at least a partial handmade-Christmas. The kids are always asking me for paintings of their favourite things.

This is an ink scribble I did earlier this year, before I was pregnant. Steve calls it my "I want a baby" painting. I plan to develop it further sometime.
