A blast from the past...

Lately I have been thinking more about getting back into my art, don't get me wrong I still do it :) but more on a needs must, or gifts basis than just for the pure pleasure. A friend found a guy nearby who is a well known artist Philip Farley, and I'm hoping to soon arrange to have some classes with him :) In preparation I dug up some of my old stuff (he likes to see your style) and I thought that I would share....

 'Gail Force' was a filler piece to expand my year 11 collection (age 17) I'm not a fan of pencil detail as its soo much work! lol

The Seagulls were a study for one of my paintings  - they're not correct in their angles but I like them nevertheless

This group is a collection that I drew on a pad while spending the afternoon in the Munch museum in Oslo Norway - it was electric, truly a spiritual experience. The top pic he made a few prints, my exchange sisters parents owned one! In the middle picture can you see a man cradling her neck? I didn't till years after drawing it...

This is a quick sketch done of the George Town Lighthouse (Tasmania) where I would go for both peace and inspiration I was on the steep slope in front and only the top peeked out over the bushes - its done in ink with a stick I found.
