New work - oh the tranquility!

I spent a few hours on our balcony today drawing. I haven't moved all of my studio from the city yet so basically had to make do with some inks and scrappy pieces of charcoal. I had bought some good paper about a month ago so that's something! I even used some of the tester pots we bought to paint the house with..Oh but I love the challenge.


This drawing is a lot more symbolic then past work. It's a combination of the hustle and bustle of the city and the peacefulness of the country, letting go, freedom.
I'm going to frame the pair in the one frame, white. It might have to live at home.

My husband and I purchased some beautiful etchings a few years ago which we haven't been able to hang in our small apartment in Richmond. Finally, they are in the perfect spot in our new home. I want this to be the art nook so once we transport my art books, they'll also live there (I'll squeeze in an image of Picasso somewhere too). The print far left is from Venice (we bought it on our honeymoon), another, an etching, is by a local Melbourne artist Chris Ingham "Escaping" (middle) and the one far right is by Anne Leibzeit "Cuckoo Tree" which is a dry-point. I framed them myself, we love them.
