18.01.2022 Some times it’s good to remind yourself how far you have come .... the first photo popped up in memories.

18.01.2022 Over the past 4 weeks I have been teaching basic botanical drawing at Artpod in Mosman Park .... it’s been a massive learning curve but of so satisfying when you see your student excited with what they have achieved .... thank you Karen Sabitay for finding me on Instagram, you have a wonderful little place to learn. Thank you for also for guiding me in teaching and being a great wingman .... next year basic botanical watercolour ?? Ps puppy and baby didn’t learn much but they were cute heheh

16.01.2022 Think I’ll leave this one ... it’s a practice one so I won’t put all the little hairs on . Beautiful afternoon in Perth and you can smell of the lovely smells of spring #spring #perth #perthartist #westaustralianwildflowers #westaustralianartist #westaustralianflora #westaustralianfloralemblem #anigozanthos #anigozanthosmanglesii #kangaroopaw #carolynmurdochartist

15.01.2022 My weekend ... nothing much else has been done but I have enjoyed painting this Eucalyputus synandra.... unfortunately my specimen won’t last for much longer but I do have lots of photos.... happy

14.01.2022 The princess is nearly finished and my mind is already on the next one....

13.01.2022 A little one .... Chorizema cordatum is a cute little pea flower... it’s also called Australian flame pea ... I love the pink and the orange petals ... #botanicalart #botanicalartist #australianbotanicalart #australianbotanicalartist #chorizemacordatum #westaustralianartist #westaustralianwildflowers #westaustralianflora #perthartist

12.01.2022 Same subject ... new painting .... same same but different . I think being a botanical artist is to be a perfectionist. I wasn’t happy how the hairs were turning out on the last one so trying something different and I am much happier but it will mean redoing the other one ... oh well ! At least I’m not bored . #anigozanthosmanglesii #anigozanthos #kangaroopaw #botanicalart #botanicalartist #botanicalillustration #botanicalpainting #botanicalwatercolour #westaustralianartist #westaustralianwildflowers #westaustralianfloralemblem #carolynmurdochartist

11.01.2022 There is always an ugly duckling before the beautiful swan appears ... we are still very much in the inky duckling stage and unfortunately there are going to be a few paws hurt in making the beautiful swan . #kangaroopawflower #kangaroopawferns #kangaroopaw #anigozanthos #anigozanthosmanglesii #westaustralianwildflowers #westaustralianfloralemblem #westaustralianartist #perthartist #botanicalart #botanicalartist #botanicalillustration #botanicalwatercolour #watercolourpainting #carolynmurdochartist
