Description: A gorgeous Kookaburra came to look for grubs in our Lockyer Valley farmyard this morning, so I stalked him with my camera. What else could I do, I mean he made such a beautiful sight. :-) Then of course I just had to draw him. Here is the result. Soft pastels on 18cm x 24.75cm watercolour card (Bockingford watercolour paper, acid free, 300g/m², CP)
Description: Memories of when I was a little girl Something I loved about my childhood was the chance to visit our friends place when the milking was on. ‘Helping’ and feeling like a very big girl doing it. A huge thrill when walking into the milking shed, awe at the large cows, fear of getting stood on (despite staying very close to mum) and excitement at getting to be so close to the action. Of course the much awaited treat was a glass of fresh warm milk.
