100th Post - Mint Tea

Welcome to my 100th post, I have been blogging for a while now, maybe two years and it has really helped with my creativity and regularity of drawing. If I don't draw every day it will be every other day. This first photo is of the summer in England, in the park making daisy chains with my little cute cousins- it was so lovely and warm with very long days - the sun rose at just after 3am and it didn't get dark until gone 10pm. My days were filled with laughing with family and drawing.


Above are a few antique cups that I illustrated on - they are part of a larger set of saucers and plates that will be exhibited in a newly opened cafe in England. Below is a lady pouring mint tea - she is inspired by my backpacking holiday to Morocco in my first year of uni. Ms Mint Tea is quite large in real life (A3), she adorns a cafe/bar in England - she is part of a series of Moroccan inspired ladies- I will be posting the rest of her friends in the near future.

Hello Sydney, Farewell England.



Hello! It's been a while since I last blogged. I had an absolutely amazing holiday in England - it was great to see my family and eat lots of yorkshire puddings and drink lots of yorkshire tea. I spent nearly every day drawing and have lots of new illustrations to decorate a bar and a coffee shop. It was so much fun!
We also had a stop over in Bangkok on the way back. We visited 3 temples - they were breathtakingly beautiful....the buddha statues were enormous (43m in length and as tall as a high rise building). It is definitely a place I will be going back to. So above are two new drawings which were private commissions completed during my holiday in England. Plenty more to show you all in the next few posts so stay tuned!
