If you’re not a patient person waiting in airports is the hardest job ever. But you have a captive audience if you are a sketcher. It’s more important to get the feel of the pose rather than an exact likeness. Heads and faces are my biggest challenge when sketching people. So we arrived in DubaiContinue reading "Dubai"

Welcome readers. More followers this month as I spread the word of my residency in Scotland. It’s been a quiet month in July. Mainly preparing for my residency and time away from New Zealand.

Actually I hope it’s not going to be a mad March. We have already had earthquakes, floods and cyclones this year, and that’s just in little ole Waihi Beach. We have had beautiful days in March so far. Long may it continue. As I write this we have just come back from visiting friends atContinue reading "March Madness"

I was very pleasedContinue reading "December December."
