When I found out that the next Perth Urban Sketchers meet up was going to be in South Perth I was elated. I used to live in South Perth during my university days and despite moving to the coast in recent years I still come here to enjoy the riverside scenery. The open green spaces […]
Urban Sketching : Perth Twilight Hawker Market
One of the reasons why I love the International Urban Sketchers community is that no matter where you are in the world you can always find other urban sketchers to sketch with and make new friends. We recently had three overseas sketchers visiting Perth at the same time, one from Malaysia, Singapore and Nairobi. What […]
Urban Sketching : UWA Perth Up Market
Not realising that we scheduled our monthly meet up at UWA (University of Western Australia) on the same day as the Perth Up Market made our sketch meet a serendipitous event. The Perth Up Market was established in 2008 and initially held at the Perth Town Hall but with its growing popularity, the markets moved […]
Rediscovering the Joy of Writing
Writing. It’s something I’ve always wanted to do but either didn’t believe I could or that I had the creativity ability for. As a child I would write stories, fantasy, fairy tales, adventures, write poems, rhymes and limericks. I don’t know when it all stopped. I don’t think it was a sudden moment when it […]
Some Days I just Can’t Be Bothered
It’s just been way too cold to do anything lately. Even going to the park to see my friends is an effort. I do get excited (hmmm, my version of excitement, a couple wags of the tail, a slight alertness in the eyes, my head uplifted and a long stretch from my couching on the […]
6 Small Reasons to Love Bali in 4 Short Days
Departing from my regular busy Bali type holiday staying in the more energetic and very commercial and tourist dense Kuta ,we chose to visit a more quieter part of Bali, Sanur (on the recommendation of our neighbour who just returned from a family holiday the day I spoke to him). Some cringe at the mention […]
Embracing the Slow
Ahhhh Life! It gets busy sometimes, more than sometimes, a lot of the time and often we don’t even realise that we are caught up in the busy-ness of doing life. It’s only when we begin to feel overwhelmed, when our mind is cluttered with the lists of have to dos, when we begin to […]
Why I Started Writing
I initially started writing to write better blog posts. For the past few years despite having a blog……or two, I was never really committed to writing. I wanted to share but I wasn’t prepared to put in much effort . I’m bit of a procrastinator and a bit off an expert of avoidance behaviour. To […]
Sketching the Everyday : My First Workshop
Nervous excitement is what I felt when I was invited to run a sketching workshop. I’ve run plenty of workshops before but they were all work related, stress management, career redirection, rediscovering your passion and the like. This was going to be a “fun” workshop where I get to play. And lets face it we […]
A Day Trip to the Swan Valley
Gazing across the delightful country style garden under the cerulean blue sky I sat cheerfully like a child, awaiting my order of home baked scones with strawberry jam and fresh cream. The warmth of sun led me to falsely believe it’s Spring, but it’s actually the beginning of Autumn. And this was part of our […]
