Welcome! Please join me as I explore my world through drawing and painting in all the colours of the rainbow. I love rainbows. I collect them (ask my family). Maybe it is because rainbows show such beauty and promise after a drenching downpour. That says a lot.
Life isn’t always easy, but it has taught me a lot – especially to appreciate the small joys around me. Sitting and sketching the detail in front of me takes me away from my worries and lets me focus on the moment. Pulling out my watercolours and sploshing a page with hot pinks, purples, limes and yellows brightens my day – literally. I hope my work brings joy to you too.

I am dedicating this sketch to Danny from Noumea who ran into us last year @blackcatfitzroy during our exhibition. He requested we draw the view from the rooftop bar @nakedforsatan_ - so here you are, Danny! We couldn't resist the $3 burger deal downstairs before going up to the rooftop to sketch #brunswickstreetsketchography #brunswickstreet #brunswickstreetfitzroy #sketch #streetscape #sketchbook #usk #melbourneurbansketchers #urbansketchers #cityofyarra #penandwash #bockingford

This week's addition to my Brunswick Street streetscapes, which will eventually be coloured. Those who really know the area and are following carefully might see that I accidentally skipped a couple of buildings because I left last week's strip of paper at home while packing this. Oops. I'll fill them in next week. Cars and vans kept parking inconveniently and blocked my view do I had to keep crossing the road (just like the chicken) to look at the other side. Next week I'll tackle Thonet, although I'm in awe of the brilliant drawings made by my companions this week! #brunswickstreetsketchography #brunswickstreet #brunswickstreetfitzroy #sketch #streetscape #sketchbook #usk #melbourneurbansketchers #urbansketchers #cityofyarra #pensketch #bockingford @saintcloudbikes

Of course it wouldn't be a Tuesday without one more building sketched. This is the Village People Hawker Foodhall at 127 Brunswick Street, Fitzroy. I didn't hear any disco music or spot the policeman, biker, soldier or builder leave while doing the YMCA, but maybe I was concentrating on the roofline at the time ... #usk #urbansketchers #melbourneurbansketchers #brunswickstreetsketchography #brunswickstreet #streetscape #sketch
