Fairywren #2

These cute little birds bounce around my yard all day, and are ever-so distracting.

I decided that my male blue fairywren needed a mate, so here she is.

Acrylic and coloured pencil on an ink-stained board.

    Thanks mimi!!

    The circles took so long to do. And then they didn’t end up bright enough so I had to go over them all again! But it was still fun.

    Must be time to make a similar background again, if only I could find my circle stencil…

    Aw, gorgeous thing! I saw your work at the Curvy exhibition – it is beautiful in the flesh!!

    Thanks so much! Wow, I’ve been thinking that my work was lost in the post… Did you mean you saw my 3 originals on the walls, or the Tortoise in the Curvy book??

    Both :) The originals had a great spot in the show.

    Oh you totally just made my day! I thought they’d dropped off the face of the Australia Post earth.

    Just got my Curvy book. GREAT to see that you’re a feature artist! And the first one at that. So cool. Congrats :) I adore your artwork. And the stories behind each one.

    (My book arrived water-logged with a back-to-front cover, but I’m hoping for a replacement!)
