Project book (mixed media) 2015

Terri has set our family each tasks to do in a project book.  The first is a self portrait. I haven't sketched for a while.

Terri

Drawing class again. This time the kids got to draw Terri, so I joined in.

Emma

One of my drawing class students.

Terri

...in thought.

William

Also known as Blanche. He's French - an old friend we haven't seen in ages.

Sian

Mother of five and Terri's sister. David in "This Big", Sharna and Aimee belong to her. She is married to John.

Terri

...from the side.

Terri

...with a doekie on.

Terri's Torso

Yup, another sketch of my Terri.

Sharna

A quick sketch in the back of the car while the moms go shopping. Sharna belongs to Sian. As you can see, she's also pleased to be sitting still for a drawing.

Sheth

Someone passed on one of those rubbishy Time Magazine give away digital cameras to me. I took a photo of Sheth, blew it up on screen and drew it. This is the result.

Self Portrait

A quick sketch of one of my hairy moments.

Pippa

This is my mom. She put up with me. Still does.

Pippa's Trim

I think Terri was giving my mom a hair cut at the time.

Self Portrait

The first comment most people make about this one is how much it doesn't look like me.

Self Portrait

This second attempt had the mirror propped against the wall - instead of in my shakey grasp - therefore a much more accurate rendition of my smile.

Pippa Reading

A.k.a. Mom, Pips, Granny Pips, Ma, etc.

Micaela

My little sis. Note that everyone I draw is grumpy. That's what happens when you have to sit still for those arty types so they can do something "important" like draw you.

Kim

Or, should I say, Yael? Depends what stage of her life you're referring to. A good friend of Terri's from Twee Riviere.

Aram

Aram is my red haired cousin from Italy. He's an architect.
