My Old Life Drawing Nudes

My daughter found my folder of drawings from some seventeen years ago and was so impressed that she photographed some of them. I did some hobby classes and also had a few people model for me on the beach. I did quite a lot of quick sketches of a few minutes and worked them up later. You can see I liked Bret Whitely and also the Fauves. Apologies to Michelangelo for my version of God breathing life into a hominid Adam!

Seventeen years ago I was riding my bike through the desert of Arizona when I really did meet a nurse called Sue and watched a sunset, She wasn't really a 'cowgirl' but I thought it looked good in the cartoon. There wasn't really a talking kangaroo either really, except in my head......

Cat paintings

Kimba the cat: I just started experimenting with water colours. This s a picture of friend Helen's cat Kimba. Painting a white subject seems limited until you look at the shadows that make up the 'whiteness'.

The following cartoons have appeared in the Gippslander newspaper. Chronlogically, there were Australian settings and then a Samoan trip and these will be appearing later.
