Hi Leith as I browse the Gallery I am so drawn to your work – very inspirational – I look forward to venturing to Melbourne Street to view your work.

Wow Leith I had no idea that your paintings were so huge. Your mug’s not that ugly, I am sure you have plenty of people willing to share a drink from it!

ps – is that a Smiths t-shirt you have on or is it my imagination? If you are having a maudlin monday or suffering a thorn in your side then I will know.

Not ugly at all, actually you look quiet nice. Also get to see how large your…um…canvas is. Large isn’t it? Love your art, must get up to South Melbourne to check it out. Belinda

A rare and intersting glimpse into the mind of the artist mid work near com,pletion… the satisfied calmness and confidence, the realisation that your vision has been transferred to canvas and youre happy with it!

Yes, I was happy in the haze of a painting hour, but heaven knows I’m miserable now :)

For a VERY long time… I thought you were a woman, guess because of your avatar. Oftentimes, I still forget that fact! So I must fav this as a helpful reminder to myself. It is so wonderful to see these images of the artist at work, thanks for posting this!
