Landscape Study in Pen

A quick pen sketch with coloured pencil of a lush bush garden where the swamp wallabys, frogs & water dragons lurk! In spring the masses of tadpoles in the creek are huge and plump.

Inspired By Picasso

Caught the Picasso exhibition now on at The Art Gallery Of NSW and thought I'd share some of it with you. Pablo Picasso's (1881-1973) career, spanning seven decades of the 20th century, was an integral part of modern art. For me, his experimental works with new media were among the most interesting pieces on show. Through his visual explorations he expresses his passions, desires and the anxieties of his time, including the horrors of war, the fragility of human life. So, in the long tradition of artistic persuit, I've created some small works which draw their inspiration from Picasso's work. Photos will follow shortly.........
