Deadline looming

Today I have been working on a couple of paintings to enter into a competition being held at a local gallery. I haven't given myself much time, in fact just 2 days, and out of those 2 days I have to do other things like; cook dinner, washing, get hair cut, grocery shopping, the boring mundane things that take up my time. So in actual fact I probably have about 4 hours.



So with that in mind I'm going to enter 2 images, this is the first that I am still working on..


My studio: The kitchen floor

I thought I would add a beret for this photo just to show how cliche I can be. You know, artist working away, living off of coffee and chocolate...I feel a little sick.

Dress: Black shirt dress previously listed
Apron: Made myself

Calendar 2011

I studied Illustration for 4 years at University, 4 years and that was a long time ago.

I am always drawing or painting or creating images in some form or another, just not as a paid professional. I have been thinking of printing some calendars for 2011 with my Gocco along the lines of these portraits. I drew these as postcards to friends and I think they turned out OK.

Or maybe of people jumping!?
