Thanks Joy, I should give this a go this year. Although I haven't been doing much art lately.

It's been a while since I posted here or did much artwork really. We've recently had an abundance of rain where I live, perfect conditions for fungii, favourite subject and colour palette. A4 size, pen and acrylic ink.

Beautiful yellows, and yes that glass!

Some lovely tones there Joy.

Oh wow, I love this one Kay, excellent work.

Recent drawing of a raven - A4 - black fountain pen and ink washes. Deliberate, minimal use of colour.

Thanks for the reply Bethany, but it's really sad to hear that you are feeding native birds heavily processed foods which is very harmful to them, please stop this practice.

Thank you all for your comments. Arty - with regards to style I really have no control over this, it has a mind of it's own, be it painting or drawing. So yes totally not forced.

The dark lord of the Australian skies, do not mess with a magpie, particularly in the springtime. Black fountain pen with ink wash.

After painting birds for a few months it was time for a floral painting, familiar subject, very relaxing and fun to paint. A3 size, liquitex acrylic ink, some dry brushing in the background for a change.

Not sure what you're talking about Joy, can you repeat that please.

Fantastic painting, love how the leaves cross over.

Thanks for all your comments. There is definitely too much detail but I just can't help myself. 🤣

Latest drawing of a snail shell from the rainforest. Drawn with a recently purchased fountain pen - "Pinieder Amber Demonstrator" and Noodlers Ink - Walnut. A3 size and about 20 hours, absolutely delightful pen to use and the ink is superb. A combination of some very familiar cross hatching...

Lovely painting Joy.
