June 8, 2019 | How To, Video, Workshops

Last month we talked about setting up a lightweight sketchbook kit to suit any occasion or location… so now… what are we going to draw when we are out and about?
I’ll share my tips for getting started when you are sketching in public.
It’d be great to have you there in real time (I can answer any questions you have)… but if you can’t make it at the set time, we’ll send you the replay. All good!
October 5, 2015 | Carnival of Flowers, Paintings
Have I mentioned I LOVE our Carnival?
And this year saw the realisation of a 10 year dream – to have my artwork featured on the front cover of The Chronicle Carnival of Flowers liftout magazine.

With a little bit of help from my friends (thank you Tammy and Melanie!) I was able to supply art for the cover, and they also wrote a very nice story about me (and Maeby, the studio dog, of course!).

The painting came to life in my studio a couple of months ago – they wanted me to use red, and I knew a face would work… meet Carnival Girl.

They’ve drawn a winner and I’ll be heading into to The Chronicle office to present it next week! I don’t know who it is yet (although a LOT of people have been asking!). Seriously happy to have had this opportunity!
Just a few more pics of how lovely it is here in Toowoomba at this time of year:
