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 →
