Dear Audy,
It's becoming a pattern that whenever things seem to settle a little or (heavens forbid!) get better, that the sky suddenly opens up, lightning strikes and the good is transformed into bad...POW!! Earlier this year my left hip got a little up close & personal with some surgical tools. Their union was peaceful, they agreed on the healing terms and the verdict was that hip would just get better.
Hip is not behaving. I thought I was well enough to sit on a tram (trolley for those of you who don't speak Oz ). Miss Independent took herself to her appointment. Miss Independent was an idiot. Hip went Ow. Hip went Ow bad and now it is the 5th day and it is not getting better so it's back to the doctor for us...again...we won't take the tram this time.
Things might be crappy, but I can still move my hands and thus I can still take little holidays to drawing land. I took a trip there yesterday...
Since I started drawing I have been determined to do it my way. The only truly original inspiration has to come from one's own life, things seen the way that only the artist can see. At the moment, I'm working on turning parts of my life, my observations and my thoughts into pictures.
I know this and that....
This one was inspired by Holly Throsby...she was singing Warm Jets and it was so pretty and the artist in me screamed to paint the moment. The urge grew until yesterday I sketched this...It's a portrait but even though that's what I was drawing it wasn't intended that way...I just want to keep a snapshot of that part in the performance that really moved me...it wants to be a painting...it doesn't want the harsh lines of a sketch...it wants to be soft and lightly colourful and a little hazy. I know what it wants but it might have to settle for being a sketch until I can sit back up at my easel....
How awesome would it be if you could just know what was wrong with any part of your body? Like you can see a cut on your arm...come on evolution...you're letting me down...
Love & Lullabies,
Caf

I agree with raider rider! you have a great art.

Pretty sketch..she looks so peaceful! I hope your hip feels better! Sitting too long on a jerky train is not the answer for you I guess!
Love the sketch! That's just what she looked like too! You should send it to her, I reckon she'd be stoked. (Sorry, picked up your daggy slang from the previous post...)
I really find your blog very nice!
