Laughing Kookaburra 2014

We have a lovely family of these happy chappies living on our property with us. I love listening to their laugh every morning and every evening before they snuggle up together on a branch of one of our eucalypts to sleep. Available as a greeting card through my online shop Laughing Kookaburra Watercolour on handmade […]

Hold 2014

“Hold” refers to one of the commands during sheep dog trials, which is to ‘hold’ the sheep in one spot so they do not escape. This little puppy had two formidable opponents at this particular trial, but she stood her ground. I could happily watch the sheep dog trials all day. The skill of the […]

Moon Rabbit I 2014

Named after the mythical moon rabbit, who in ancient Chinese texts is said to be constantly pounding herbs for the immortals. Although adorable, in the bush it is hard to forget what little pests the wild, feral ones are, until they look at you with their big eyes. Awwwww! Moon Rabbit I, 2014 Watercolour on […]

Moon Rabbit II 2014

This moon rabbit comes from the Mexican belief that the various pits and craters on the moon make up the shape of a rabbit. This little bunny got “found” on the Redbubble website, meaning that he made it to their home page. He now has fans all over the world because of it. Moon Rabbit […]

Cat Naps: The Bookend 2014

This is called the bookend as I think it would make a very efficient bookend design. The books would be perfectly perpendicular.   Cat Naps Series: The Bookend, 2014 Watercolour on 180 gsm acid free paper Image size 21 cm x 14.8 cm POA

Cat Naps: The Ball 2014

Not entirely sure how this could be a comfortable sleeping position, but our little cat managed it. I guess it is an upright foetal pose?   Cat Naps Series: The Ball, 2014 Watercolour on 180 gsm acid free paper Image size 21 cm x 14.8 cm POA

Cat Naps: The Life Model 2014

There is a ‘classical nude’ pose which you will have to paint or draw at least once if you go to any form of life drawing classes… and this is it, captured perfect by our cat asleep in front of the fire. Cat Naps Series: The Life Model, 2014 Watercolour on 180 gsm acid free […]

Cat Naps: The Dead Cat 2014

Yes she does sleep with all four legs up in the air like a cartoon parody of death. Again, how can this be comfortable? I guess she is a cat…   Cat Naps Series: The Dead Cat, 2014 Watercolour on 180 gsm acid free paper Image size 21 cm x 14.8 cm POA

Cat Naps: The Super Hero 2014

Seriously, it looks like she is banking sharply to the right, so quickly she has doubled over upon herself… flying in her dreams with her paws outstretched. That is why she is a superhero! Cat Naps Series: The Super Hero, 2014 Watercolour on 180 gsm acid free paper Image size 21 cm x 14.8 cm […]

Double-barred Finch in Winter 2013

As a regular visitor to our garden we see our lovely little double-barred finches at all times of the year. It was a particularly cold and rainy day when this little fellow decided to roost in our forsythia, that is why he is all puffed up and cold looking. Double-barred Finch in Winter, 2013 Watercolour […]

Yellow-rumped Thornbill 2013

We have a surprising number of tiny birds who visit our bush block. This is one which you may see hopping around on the ground where you just see a flash of canary yellow from it’s backside, so risqué. Yellow-rumped Thornbill, 2013 Watercolour on 100% cotton handmade paper Image size 14.8 cm x 10.2 cm […]
