sharpie on bristol paper
I got sick of beakfaces and lizards momentarily and decided to paint some fishies – literally, goldfish…I’ve applied patches of gold leaf to their little heads. Despite being distracted by Eurovision I managed to finish it this weekend!! This one will probably be at Brunswick St Gallery in their small works show, June 6th. About 20×20cm, watercolour, chalk pastel etc on canvas. These enlargements are bigger than life size:

As a child, my treasured stuffed animal (as all children tend to have) was a little squirrel who went on every kind of adventure with me, and my favorite story was about a lil’ squirrel named “Miss Suzy” – written by Miriam Young, and illustrated by Arnold Lobel. I love the thought of the tiny leaf-boat capturing the attention of the denizens of the pond as it passes by en route to a wonderous place. January 10th, 2009 – WOW!! Thank you so much for the front page feature!!! I’m so delighted! If you like Columbus – you might enjoy some of my other little animal works!! / / /

This painting was rendered on cold press paper, at last 300 lb. I dont know for sure as it was a gift along with many other papers. I usually work on hot press watercolor or Clayboard, both smooth surfaces. This paper is very rough and absorbed water and pigment almost on contact, before it could plume. There was texture and a different absorbtion time to contend with. My usual technique, which requires large amounts of water and controlled pluming, wasn’t possible on this ground, as it was so thirsty! It was a pleasure working with the imagery and attempting to convey the shimmer and movement of koi. Text and image copyright Helena Nelson – Reed. Do not use without written permission.
I wanted to capture the steam flowing upward to the colder fall air.. The big Koi pond holds its heat longer than the others so this provided a chance to see the sun rays passing through it’s morning awake.. Resized 12-13-2007 / So proud of Kathy on this capture.. Mother Earth Does Breathe

As children, Dorothy and her brother, Charles, spent many happy hours by the koi pond on the chateau’s estate. Prologue: The Haunted Chateau
Experimenting with creating pop culture hybrids. / ‘Cry Baby’ is a famous John Waters movie starring Johnny Depp and koi are of course the large and friendly fish found in many Japanese garden ponds.

Hand-drawn design with colour pencil. Has been sitting on the back-burner for quite awhile. Was finally motivated to finish it for the T-Shirt Revolution Challenge… Here’s a brighter version of the tee: [printing by it’s nature is darker than what you see on screen, but the quality of the tees here at RB are great. I have my Muerte tee and the colour worked out great.]
trying something new
I drew the sketch of this Tee about 2 months ago but i never actually got down and vectorised it till now. As you can probably see the design is influenced by Japan. I actually got the idea for this from TBO’s Japanfluence group here on redbubble. So big up too you TBO!!!
II’ve always had a fascination with koi. Their longevity, beauty… everything. And since I don’t have a koi pond… I created this piece to reflect how lovely I think they are.
