Poppy flower seed packets




In the spirit of ANZAC day: poppy seed packets are now available in my etsy store.

The seed packets prices will vary.  This is because some seeds are harder to come by than others - for example, I am reliably informed that it is very hard to buy poppy seeds of this type.  We only have enough for a few packs so once these are gone, they are gone.

All seeds are grown in Yetholme, NSW at Hillandale Garden & Nursery.

Happy ANZAC day everyone.

New pictures





Him indoors has faithfully scanned nearly all of my pictures for the last 5 years or so which means we have hi-res scans of just about every image I've made since 2007.

This also means I can offer prints of my work - for details, please check out my Etsy store.  Prices start at $10.00.
Please note that only a few images are listed. To see a bigger selection, go to Flickr.

Happy Easter


Happy Easter everyone.

This year, I'm participating in an impromptu blog hop organised by my friend Chris Chun who is based in Chiang Mai, Thailand, when he's not travelling the world in search of beautiful and inspiring things.

Large format images



Since January, I have been working on two very large images (amongst other things).

These are both 115cm x 115cm and are watercolour, pencil and collage on sewn Arches paper, 300 gsm.

The top one, was entered into the Sulman Prize but sadly was not selected as a finalist.  The second one is a private commission which was approved on Sunday and is now getting framed.

I must admit it was extremely scary to work on these and at this size but I am very pleased with the results.
