A quick watercolour of our backyard just so you can see what a rotten place we live in. This is looking out from our back balcony.

wow, graeme, i'm not sure wether to be more jealous of you're backyard or the talent with which you captured it in watercolour! It reminds me of my uncles house...well, yurt, on the south coast somewhere....very nice indeed

Thanks Happy, I guess the coast is much the same up or down from Sydney especially where the mountains meet the coast. The big rock becomes a waterfall when it rains for a while.

Here's a new painting I've been working on and has taken up most of my time over the past month as well as our exhibition which finishes this Thursday.
It's of a friend of mine, Mini Mayhem who has posed before, she is the lead singer in a band called Eternal Mayhem.
The painting is called Little Red Riding Hood, oil on linnen 1200mm x 900mm

by **suer** » Tue Jul 17, 2007 2:25 pm

The colour of the background is really nice, which sets off the girl so impressivly!!
And I also admire the light on the girl's skin...hehe
Thank you for your effort graeme. :worship:

Manipulator, the ability of young woman to manipulate themsleves into barbie dolls or a goth chicks depending on their mood at the time.

Oil on canvas 900mm x 600mm

by **happy-gnome** » Sat Jul 28, 2007 1:44 am

Graeme, i love the 'little red riding hood'...the blue background against the red of her clothes is really effective...plus of course its simply a really well excecuted work.

Also, i love the girls face...it has character, which is nice in a painting

Excellent work anyway!

John

by **suer** » Sat Jul 28, 2007 4:02 am

Manipulator, full of humor and depth, and also very vivid.
Really nice!!

Etching on archival paper.
125mm x 250mm ( 5in x 10in )
This is a limited edition of 20 prints.
This etching is about the spirit of Autumn who goes around at night taking all the leaves of the trees, and of course she doses this totally nude just to make it interesting. Hope you like

Finally got around to doing something, been in a real slump lately hopefully on my way out of it now.

Can't think of a name for this but Wormwood keeps coming to mind.

Good one! glad your back...

Thanks mate it's good to be back, I love doing those sort of shadows the whole image changes with just the slightest bit sometimes.

Your work is wrought with ladies – all with adorable faces. You’re excellent at honing in on the details that make women “cute.”

I'm very lucky I have a live in model and she has friends so it just seems to happen but I love to draw them and the challenge is eagerly met and what better subject is there.
I have thousands of drawings from sketch clubs where I learnt to draw and my partner sells them on ebay which keeps us going.

Hi all I have been asked to do a exhibition on my trees so I have been rather busy of late, this is one of them.

by **waese** » Sun Nov 04, 2007 5:51 pm

that's amazing,
that you fund and fuel everything from sketches sold on EBAY
I wish I could do that!

That plus a few sales of good work Waese we manage to survive.

Out of curiosity Graemeb, if you don’t find my question intrusive – how long does it take you to complete a charcoal drawing, and a painting? And finally, how many hours a day do you work on art?
