Argentine Ant

Argentine Ant

The anatomy of an ant is fairly complex – half way through I realised I competely messed it up. Apologies to all the Entomologists out there. I’ll have to give it a more serious go sometime. Also discovered what a wonderful technique it is to use coloured pencil crayons on top of watercolour to bump [...]

The Towers

210mm x 280mm

My first drawing was of this little police car which I thought appropriate since we heard that the watercolour society was [...]

The Great Escape

Cartoon of man, flowers, building all escaping.

I think its harder to find something worthwhile saying about this drawing than creating the drawing itself. Anyway, I noticed that maybe the flowers and building are escaping too.

Jonah

Jonah and the Big Fish and the Worm

Well, I won’t tell you “where & when” I drew this little drawing. Simply to say that Craig (our church leader) preached a terrific sermon on the last chapter of Jonah last Sunday(20 March 2011). I’ve heard many many many messages on the book of Jonah and this has to be one of the best [...]

Danger

Danger at Sea

Ideas seldom arrive in their complete fullness when I start out a drawing of this sort. Mostly I have no idea what I will create. As one works, the ideas flow, a break for tea, then a return for a fresh look and more to add. So the order of creation ran something like this: [...]
