For our monthly Perth Sketchers meet up I decided that Wolf Lane would be the place to visit. There’s so many laneways in Perth that have been “funktified” (is that a word? I don’t know sounds good though). Not a huge laneway but interesting in that there’s little cafes and bars that have been re-established […]
A Sketch Before Breakfast : Video
I had a little arty getaway with some arty buddies (not my sketchy buddies, same same but different!) . These ladies are exceptionally talented exhibiting artist, ranging from realism painting to, whimsical naive, abstract, mixed media, semi abstract and still life, and heaps of fun. We visited quite a few galleries whilst in Margaret River […]
Day 2 on Rottnest Island – A Vignette of My Day
Day 2 on Rottnest and this is how I decided to capture my day, through windows! 1. Trying to find the Bunker After walking about 15 mins down this road we realised (not long) we were walking in the wrong direction but decided to keep going to explore. After all we had no […]
Day 1 on Rottnest Island
So finally here I am Day 1 on my overseas sketching trip! Rottnest Island is overseas right? I did have to cross the Indian Ocean to get here 🙂 Well, to be honest this is actually Day 2 because Day 1 (or zero) we didn’t do too much but relaxed, chilled and paced up and down […]
Recharging at Trigg Beach
It was such a sunny and warm day for Autumn and I was missing our Summer so I decided to make my way down to the beach and watch the surfers, sail boats and families on the water.
Lest We Forget ANZAC Day Dawn Service 2015
100 years of ANZAC history celebrated today. Every year, for the past few years we’ve attend dawn service in Kings Park but this year we paid our respects and remembered the men, women and families who gave their lives for the freedom and lives we have today, at the North Beach RSL. Where did you […]
A SketchUp at the Bookcaffe in Swanborne
For years since I was in my early 20s I’ve driven past this place, or at least this street, wanting to go in but never stopped to do so. So when a friend and I decided to catch up for a sketch date I immediately suggested here. It met my expectations and more!!! Books, food, […]
Food vs Sketch at the Feedbox Markets in Scarborough
Walking down to the Feedbox market in Scarborough on weekends, the aroma of the Moroccan Shakshuka always whispers my name in the sea breeze as I approach the bright blue tents. Torn between wanting to sketch and wanting to delight my morning taste buds, I opted for delighting my taste buds and sketching my breakfast […]
Me Time at Freshwater Bay
I was having a bit of me time so I took a little drive to the river. My favourite paddling spot, Freshwater Bay in Mosman Park. But this is my third time sketching here. I just love the peacefulness of being here. It’s a fantastic place to just ‘be’! I have to confess, I did […]
How I Cured My Monday Morning Blues
I spent the weekend with a horrid cold and a streaming nose and now Monday is here I was tired of being sick. Fortunately for me I live by the beach so when hubby said “I’m going for a quick dip. Do you want to come? I think it’ll be good for you” I thought […]
