People napping

With plenty of people enjoying the Christmas sun and a read there was occasion to doze off to 'Z' land

The last pages of 2011

In a very serendipitous (I never thought I'd ever get to use that word!) way, I finished my first Urban Sketches book on the last day of 2011. I must confess I could not use half the pages in the book as the waterbrushed ink soaked through to the other side. But I have a brand new sketchbook ready and waiting to be used for the new year, and it is definitely of a thicker stock.

However, I am in two minds of whether to keep on with the Marrickville/Inner West theme, as I also have other ideas – sketching from bus stops OR drawing all the discarded junk people leave out on the streets. I've seen some crazy stuff left on the kerbs. Any suggestions/opinions are welcomed...

Have a great 2012 people!!

A big bash to end the year

Happy New Year to everyone. It is great to see what everyone has been doing over the holiday season.

I had a quiet NYE but went to the cricket on Friday night.

Was really fun to be sketching at a big event like this...rushing so as not to miss anything in the excited T20 match (unlike a test match where I could take all day to sketch) Next time I want to see higher up so I get a better overall view ...but it was fun sitting on the fence.

To end the year, I was at home looking through my sketches for 2011... quite a collection and I needed more time than one evening to look through them all.
I hope that everyone has a wonderful 2012!
