The Naked Carrot - As I rarely do 'nudes' and my gallery is having an "In the Raw" exhibition, I have submitted a little wood engraving entitled "La Carotte Nue"

5cm x 5cm (2"x2")

I also had a go at hand colouring, here is the naked carrot in all her glory.

For my inspiration, check our Manet's Olympia

Noisy Cloud

30" x 40" Mixed Media on Canvas

Process: 1.Had a marvelous time with inks, acrylics, water and acrylic medium on 300gsm hot pressed paper. Sprinkled urea onto wet areas for interesting effect.

2. Paper horribly buckled

3. Ripped up painting

4. Glued pieces of painting onto canvas, along with other collage papers such as ripped up woodcut prints.

5. More acrylic, medium & water

6. Developed image with acrylic using local landscape and photos of cockatoos as subject.

7. Yay, finished. Celebration. Onto next project.
