Kids and a Cat February - 2019

~Live in the sunshine, swim the sea, drink the wild air.~

 Ralph Waldo Emerson

Jayke is around 18yo. I did a quick sketch of him sitting in the morning sun, as he often like to do theses days.

 A sketch up for painting of children on beach.

This was going to be a painting, but decided it looked good as a drawing in itself. The painting will come later.

Ordinary lives, ordinary things - the stuff of life - the cycles, the interconectedness of life on this planet, is the philosophy behind what I try to recreate in my artwork; be they drawings, paintings or other works. Enjoy

Valentines Day - February 2019

~ When you have nobody you can make a cup of tea for, when nobody needs you, that's when I think life is over.~

                                                                                                                                                          Audrey Hepburn

Brunswick Green - Valentines Day. 

Acrylic on A4 Paper

Another painting in two days. The title is a reference to the paint colour of that era housing and to Melbourne where the original photo was taken and there is a suburb of that name. Later I found out there is a pub in Brunswick named The Brunswick Green (though the original photo was taken in Fitzroy, not Brunswick). Later, I found out there is one also a pub in Hobart called the Brunswick with similar colour, that I'd once been too... 

I have included images here from start to finish of process, in descending order.

                                     

Ordinary lives, ordinary things, familiar places - the stuff of life - the cycles, the interconectedness of life on this planet, is the philosophy behind what I try to recreate in my artwork; be they drawings, paintings or other works. Enjoy
