More Journaling

The fact my sewing room is getting a much needed paint job has meant I have not been able to access much except for hand stitching and my pencils and art supplies.
Two more prompts in my Nature Journal...
3 - Tree
I settled on the Oak Tree...it still amazes me that such a huge tree comes from that little acorn.

4. - Owl
As you can see I chose a native owl, the Southern Boobook Owl. Most Australians know and love their distinct "Mopoke" call.
I have progress on the Undara Kookaburras......working on the branch.

 This week my art work had to be delivered to the local gallery for our upcoming Queensland Wildlife Artists Society Exhibition.
My Sister in law had told me of a wonderful artist featuring at the gallery that she had visited recently. I was so pleased to see it was still there....finishes today I think.
The artist is Miriam Innes

And she works on large swathes of paper with charcoal in continuous strips.....the detail was amazing. You felt you could walk down these New York streets! The cityscape unfolded right around the room! No photos were allowed but you can get a taste from the catalogue.
I feel so fortunate that I was able to experience it....wow!
I wish you a weekend doing that which pleases you.

Namaste and blessings Michelle xxx
