Mondoodle 04-10-2010

By elise | Published: October 4, 2010

I was trawling through photos of our cat (and others) this evening on my return from Uni. Partly because I wanted to see what reference shots I had of our feline friends, and partly looking for inspiration for a Mondoodle. And so I came across one of our cat, taken through a window, after he [...]

Mondoodle 02-08-2010

By elise | Published: August 2, 2010

After three days alternating between couch and bed I’m feeling much better, if not sounding it! I don’t think I’m patient enough to ever get a long-term illness. I was sorry to miss the market and to not get out into the sun today. Winter can have some amazing weather and I saw it all [...]

Mondoodle 01-02-10

By elise | Published: February 2, 2010

I love seeing kids when they’ve obviously dressed themselves. Tutus, footy socks, odd hats and fairy wings. The boys do it too, I’m happy to say. I have yet to see a goth couple’s kid but I would hope they’d have access to even more outlandish garb. Brilliant! Reminds me of parties in my uni [...]

more workshops

By elise | Published: October 2, 2009

How brilliant are these artists? I taught a cat-drawing workshop at the East Melbourne Library yesterday – we had so much fun. Here are some of the wonderful creations by the kids, a great group of 12, playing with watercolour and pencils. Have a look at these beauties! Hey kids – If I’ve missed putting [...]

Free downloads… new stuff

By elise | Published: September 22, 2009

The downloads page on my website is updated now. So, all the links should be working for you to get the colouring-in sheets and The Night Garden word jumble (there’s an answer sheet too). And there’s a new thing… I know how hard it is to draw a character over and over again in the [...]

I’m having them printed tomorrow so, fingers crossed, they should be ready for the market on Sunday (at the Convent). I don’t know his story yet. But he certainly seems to have one…

What a market on the 7th! I sold some oils then had a brainwave when I got home… So now I’ve painted some new pieces especially for the cat-lovers out there… Ivanhoe yesterday was a bit quiet. That was my swan-song. (ooh – where does that come from? …I think I remember something about swans [...]

two cats

By elise | Published: March 13, 2008

I remember growing up loving Norman Lindsay’s cat illustrations. I never had a copy of them myself but would look at them when I visited my Grandpa’s house. They were all just black line work – not sure it they were pen or etchings. So expressive! Now that I have a cat of my own… [...]
