24.01.2022 Day 8 of #14daysyourway for @blackdoginst. Yesterday I was working on my new website, because honestly, right now it is crap. So I'll post this one I hadn't gotten round to posting yet. This is Pixie when she was about 8 weeks old I think. Mum @jacquieblight took the photo I referenced. #whippetart #petportrait #pensketch #whippetsofmelbourne #whippet #inksketch

23.01.2022 Day 3 #14daysyourway for @blackdoginst. I've been trying out a sample of watercolour paper, I'm not that keen on it, but cute subject huh? Sprite @sprite.hound is going to be featured in so much art.

21.01.2022 Bought myself a little brush pen for calligraphy and this happened. From my Just Joey rose that reminds me of my grandmother. #rose #pensketch #blackandwhite #doodle

21.01.2022 Posting late for yesterday. It's hard to get decent photos at night and indoors, and with these rainy grey days we're having, I can't take photos outside. Anyway, day 2 of #14daysyourway for @blackdoginst Another one of Sprite @sprite.hound and his kissable snoot. #mentalhealth #petportrait #whippet #dog #whippetsofinstagram #sketch #whippetsofmelbourne #graphite

20.01.2022 This is one of the things I've been working on lately. This is my little nephew Austin, and he is a cutie. #portraitart #watercolour #painting

20.01.2022 A little painting of a sleeping beauty. Going with the flow with the watercolour can be a challenge. #whippet #petportrait #whippetart #sleepingbeauty #watercolour

20.01.2022 I've even drawn Ben. #portraitsketch #pencilsketch #portrait #bushybeard

19.01.2022 Tell me what you think. I need to order more watercolour paper, but can't decide on hot or cold pressed. Cold pressed at top, which is a bit textured, or hot pressed at bottom, which is smooth. Comment hot(smooth) or cold(textured)

18.01.2022 The unveiling. When someone receives their commission, the reaction is a reward in itself. I love this.

16.01.2022 Here is Sprite in the afternoon light. Another little test piece. #watercolour #petportrait #whippetart #whippet

15.01.2022 Hand cut stamp for my new plain clothes packaging. #linocut #whippet #whippetart #petportrait #blackandwhite

14.01.2022 The carbon pencil gives a very charcoal-like look on smooth paper, which I think I prefer. This is another Sprite sketch. Handy having such a handsome dog around the place #pencildrawing #sketch #whippetart #whippetsofmelbourne #dogart #petportrait

14.01.2022 Day 7 #14daysyourway for @blackdoginst Playing catch up again. I have to admit, I'm just not an instagrammer. I don't want to post on social media most of the time, it feels awkward for some reason. Anyway, I've been working on this beautiful fleabitten grey horse from a photo provided by Carol Wolfram to the July challenge of one of the Facebook artist groups I'm in. Not finished, but getting there. #petportrait #equineart #horseportrait #greyhorse #watercolour #wip

12.01.2022 I have decided to join the @blackdoginst #14daysyourway challenge. In this weird world we are living in right now, some of us need a little help getting our heads around it. Sometimes it's not obvious, or it's unexpected how much a change to our routine, the restrictions on our social lives or the wondering about how things will end up is affecting us. Black Dog has online resources that can help with all sorts of mental health situations and may be an easier first step to getting some help, and may just be enough help on their own. You can find my fundraising page at www.teamblackdog.org.au/fundraisers/houndandhand . And if you feel like you could do with a bit of self serve support, head over to www.blackdoginstitute.org.au. This is my day one edition. Sprite. Rainy day in Lilydale. #mentalhealth #sketch #petportrait #whippet

11.01.2022 This is definitely not a whippet. Chicken is an African grey parrot, and his portrait is coming along nicely. So excited to be drawing him with all his fancy lacy little white rimmed feathers. Such a character. #petportrait #petart #africangrey #pencildrawing

10.01.2022 This is my latest work. I have permission to give you a sneak peek, as it is a surprise present for his mum's birthday who is unlikely to see my post. But if you recognise this gorgeous hound, shh, don't tell. #petportrait #petart #pencildrawing #dogart #reddog

10.01.2022 A bit delayed due to a failed post. This beautiful whippet was photographed and commissioned some time ago by @elyite_whippets for her daughter's birthday. 'Rogue' was gifted a bit early because his owner Jazz needed a bit of cheering up. I think it worked.

10.01.2022 This little rosella was thrown together with whatever would work, with watercolor, pencil, gouache, etc as I discovered the paper that I was using wasn't watercolor paper, but printmaking paper. #wildlifesketch #wildlifeart #animalart #rosella #bird #watercolour #mixedmedia

06.01.2022 I finished my portrait of Chicken the African grey parrot today. I'm pretty pleased with how he looks. Well, he kind of peers at you! It was like having him watching me closely while I drew him. #petart #petportrait #petparrot #africangrey #pencildrawing #drawing

06.01.2022 Now that it's been gifted, I can share this cute double pony portrait I did a while ago.

03.01.2022 When I saw Aisha's photo of her daughter and deerhound, I knew I had to paint it. Such a gorgeous pair with the sun in their hair. Thanks for the reference Aisha watercolor and graphite on paper approx A3 #petportrait #dogart #hound #deerhound #watercolour #childportraits #kisses

02.01.2022 And today I made a thing. Day 9 of #14daysyourway for @blackdoginst I worked on a contraption to assist in fabricating Mum's project @jacquieblight. Ben let me use his milling machine and I drilled and milled some things and then we tested it and it seems to even work! Spending some time today working in the garage with Ben was nice. #imadeathing
