On Paper, Canvas, and iPad
Landscape 1. The inspiration for these four landscapes comes from the countryside surrounding the little Australian country town, that I’m blessed to live in. Often the distant mountains are bright blue, and the sky’s blaze red in the sunsets, or sadly in the past, from bushfires... Landscape 2. I drew/painted these from memory, and a... Continue Reading →
A closer view of a drawing I shared in my last post. I drew it with the lovely, inky, “Zen Brush 3” media. As a mum of four boys - young men now - this is often a favourite subject matter. I make small A6 proof prints of some of my iPad art (and sometimes... Continue Reading →
