The Veggie garden is abundant with these blooms. JJ arranged a small vase for the table which filled me with such delight that I felt inspired to make these drawings with graphite onto cartridge paper.

Back to bloggerland
I have decided to spend some time blogging again :) To mark this moment here is a selection of recent creations. Tonight I spent a couple of hours drawing Nastertians from the veggie garden arranged elegantly in a glass. Gardening is always such an inspiration! JJ spent the same amount of time working on an abstract mixed media work... Photos to follow.

Birth Rights Rally in Canberra
There is some new legislation in place in Australia which will severely limit womens options when it comes to homebirth. Next year it will be illegal for a midwife to attend a homebirth. This is a basic human rights issue. My family have protested and will continue to do so and have written letters to MPs. I just finished this artwork which I will donate to help raise money to get people to and from the big Rally on the steps of the parliament house, Canberra on Spetember 7th.

Violets Are Blue - Soft Sculpture Art Doll
Today was one of those beautiful winter days where the sun really soaks into your skin.... it makes you feel like making dolls :) I found some old vintage fabric I had tucked away and then attacked it with scissors, thread and paint. Her legs work to hold her into a great reclining position.

Recycled Timber Door
When adventuring for new surfaces to paint on with a student of mine I came across these great old timber cupboard doors. Perfectly framed and ready to hang!
