Flower Book
A while back I liked the idea of drawing flowers growing from the centre of a book, so I set up a still life reference for it. It was shoved into my ‘visual diary’ album and pretty much forgotten about. Recently I pulled it out and made it into a quick ink pen and collage […]

Daffodil Face
This is what a day of boredom will do to you! I was playing around on procreate and thought I’d see what a face (I guess resembling mine?) might look like as a flower face. I already had a daffodil drawing so this is what came out of it. It’s very simple but I do […]

Hyacinth
Another procreate moment, it’s been fun playing around with it. Not more fun than feeling paper under my hand though, so it’s back to traditional for me! I miss mess and glue and runny paint and cursing the pens for running out too fast. Heh heh. Here is a video of the dots being made, […]

Daffodils
So, I have pulled out Procreate again and had a go. I figured the subject should be relatively easy so that I can focus on technique. My aim is to draw digitally as close to what I do analog as possible. I’m not sure if that’s such a great idea but it feels right. I […]

nasturtiums again
Just when I thought my desire to draw Nasturtiums had gone, my garden burst out in a patch of surprise ones. It was too much. So here is an extremely colourful (for me, anyway) drawing of those little gems. Medium was schmincke watercolour, pigma micron 005 and collage on Saunders 638gsm paper.

Another drawing that’s just for fun, no purpose other than to keep my hands and brain happy. 😁 here’s a couple of closeups…

Natsari and Ash
A drawing for the fun of it. I don’t want it to be a spoiler for anyone reading Crown of Bones (by A. K. Wilder) but this is a drawing connected to the book. Maybe don’t read on if you don’t want a full spoiler! I felt quite emotional by the end of this story. […]

Exploration 21 at FLG
I am so happy to be part of an Exhibition at Flinders Lane Gallery in July this year. It’s their annual Exploration 21 Exhibition for emerging and unsigned artists. I’ve been working on six pieces, four are framed ready to go, two are at the framers now. As I’ve written in my Artist Statement, I […]
