And just like that, another original is sold 🌿 This sambar stag has spent an entire year (nearly to the day) on the wall in my studio. I remember each and every single hair, leaf and highlight I added to his antlers, and I remember the excitement when I finally put the finishing touches on the leaves. As hard as it is seeing one of my pieces leave the studio (especially this one) I’m always so grateful to see them find their forever homes. “Caught a Glimpse (And Then Vanished)” 11x14 inches Coloured Pencil on Bristol Paper 🔴 Sold Limited Edition Prints Available

Autumn has finally hit Tasmania, which means crisp, cool mornings and gorgeous, warm afternoons. When the sun shines so brightly through my studio windows first thing in the morning. AKA my favourite time of the year, when I feel the most creative and driven to work on as many pieces as humanly possible 🖤

Oh, sweet Kobe, gone too soon ❤️ I'm so honoured to have had the change to create your memorial portrait ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ "Kobe" 11x14 inch Coloured Pencil on 300gsm Fabriano Artistico Watercolour Paper

So many shades of blue in this portrait of Kobe, and an excellent opportunity to break out my lush Luminance pencils! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ As I preach over and over again - Black is never just black, and is honestly one of my favourite colours to work with!

I am so, so pleased with Dexter’s finished portrait, and I’m so, so happy to finally share him with you ♥️ He’s a much loved, special little pup that’s for damn sure! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ "Dexter" 10x10 inch Coloured Pencil on 300gsm Fabriano Artistico Watercolour Paper

Little Dexter, still a work in progress in this photo - I can’t wait to share his finished portrait with you!

I’ve been quiet on social media as a war rages on in Ukraine. I needed a break. ​​​​​​​​ ​​​​​​​​ I’m an empathetic overthinker; as I sit here working quietly on a pack of wolves on my drawing desk I wonder about the hundreds of thousands of people fleeing a war-torn city. My heart broke this week as I read about dying children, bombed islands, and prisoners of war. ​​​​​​​​ ​​​​​​​​ It’s all so overwhelming and impossible to comprehend, and so I turn back to my work. ​​​​​​​​ ​​​​​​​​ And so here’s another sweet little portrait from last year I never had the chance to post. Little Dex came along beautifully, and I’m so excited to show you his final portrait ♥️
