WATER COLOUR PORTRAIT

I painted this watercolour a couple of years ago. It's of my friend's son. Something different for me.

BALD ARCHYS 2013

Well it's that time of the year again. The Bald Archy's .... the wonderfully naughty exhibition that gives we humourous painting people an opportunity to showcase our work. This year I did Russell Crowe as his Les Mis character. He is basically ear assaulting his poor horse with his singing. It's call "There's no business, like Crowe business. My other entry is of Kasey Chambers & Shane Nicholson. It's called "Til Death do us part" & is a parody of the famous painting "American Gothic" It was fun painting large scale acrylic again. I don't do it enough. SEE YA! The Bald Archys exhibition is on right now. Check it out.

MARILYN MONROE

I have FINALLY painted a picture on my Cintiq. I have been using it constantly for work, but not much for fun stuff. I wanted to paint Marilyn Monroe as I see her. Not just the sex symbol, but the vulnerable & wounded woman that she was.
