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.

DOLLY

I did this painting of Dolly Parton recently. It will be the last time I paint on my Wacom tablet because now I have a Cintiq. YAY! Can't wait to start painting with more control.

2011 LAUGHS FOR HOOTES - JULIA MORRIS JMO FEST

Julia Morris hosted her annual "Laughs for Hooters" on Nov 30, raising money for the National Breast Cancer Association. It was a brilliant night, loads of fun. I was lucky enough to win the manipulated photo section with my "Jo-Mommie Dearest" image. I won a Canon camera worth over $2000. YAY! Now I have to learn how to use it, can't wait.

BECCY COLE SONGS & PICTURES ILLUSTRATIONS

My friend Beccy Cole recently released the most amazing album title "Songs & Pictures". I did the cover art & an illo for the CD booklet. It was something different for me & I haven't drawn a serious portrait in a long long time.

ELTON JOHN & GEOFFREY RUSH - 2011 ROTARY AWARDS
