Ah yes! This began as a still life of the chess set and a vase of neary dead flowers. Then Grace settled on the couch in the background so she became part of the picture.

This is Friday night relaxing on the couch (actually Grace has torn her quad muscle, and is not so comfortable). I was pleased with how this turned out.

This is a sketch from a photograph of a young Thai girl. Took me about 20 minutes to complete and done in 0.28 pen.

I was quite pleased with how this sketch turned out. Once again done with my brown 0.28 pen. I copied the sketch from a photograph in a book. I did it at about 4.15 am. (I couldn't sleep).

This was a quick sketch of a brown bear that sits on Laura's bed. I did it more for the accuracy of a life sketch than for anythink else. Is this bear living? Then it's life drawing of a brown bear.

This sketch was done early in the morning. Taken from an old photo of Laura (aged 4) with her beloved Bluey (Blue teddy bear) . As I drew this, I noticed how fresh and plush Bluey was. Compared with the aged Bluey in an earlier sketch (#9). Unlike Laura, who looks as fresh and young at 27 as she did when she was 4. Still got her dimples when she smiles!

... And another 10 minute sketch of my "can't keep still for 30 seconds" husband. This is Bryce reading. A very "keep still" kind of activity, don't you think?
page #24
This is a quick 10 minute sketch of Bryce. It's about 7 am and here he sits at the stove stirring the porridge. I would have thought that here was an activity that he could keep reasonabely still at... but no!!! Wriggle wriggle wriggle. Very hard for an artist!

A very special page (#23) and this sketch consists of Laura's unique jewellery stand (a converted Barbie Doll) which holds all Laura's precious pearl and other jewellery. This sketch took about 25 minutes and was done in 0.28 uni pen.

This was an afternoon of sketching at the Strand Arcade
in Sydney. We sat up on the second level outside Alannah
Hill Boutique (which was a work of art in itself). The Strand
is a beautiful old arcade... less busy that the QVB. It has a
lot of quaint designer shops on this level particularly.
We all found something which fascinated us. All our
sketches can be found on the Sydney Sketch Club
webpage. It was a really fun drawing day.

This was a sketch on glass by Wayne Pearson, in the annual Ranamok Prize which is a prestigious prize in the glassworks world.
I was really fascinated by the great painting on glass. There was no doubt a
very intricate process to achieve the end result - I was struck with the great
Portraiture and decided to "copy" it.
