 Intro

Newtown Festival

 

Bierhimmel. The crowd queuing for the bar next to Kelly's

 

Some argumentative coppers looking for a fight, perhaps hoping to close down the Hub stage even earlier than planned. As it was a phalanx descended on the PA on the stroke of 5, or maybe 6. One of these guys(head at right) was verging on serious obesity. I saw another one the other day with a BMI of maybe 35

 

The stage near the courthouse hotel, with a portrait of Luke.

I'd forgotten this drawing, Luke swapped something nice for it, and I found this crappy photo on my phone, which has a damaged lens

Made and Lauren at Burning Man

Finished I think

 

A couple of studies of Lauren's head I found in my pad

Almost done

 

With the sky all blue - what remains is to finish skin, clothes and feathers

Below are drawings and earlier versions

latest version with Lauren's tatt blocked in

Previous version with Lauren's arm a bit too short, otherwise I want to put the top colours

and highlights on.

Here's the painting with the composition fairly complete - after a little bit more fiddling I'll let it dry a bit then finish it sometime in the next few days

Ok, I made a start on the painting

 

I'm starting a painting of Made and Lauren - these are from a slightly scratchy drawing I did yesterday

Martin Place continued

I started this painting of Martin Place ages ago but was interrupted by a council compliance guy. I've got a busking license now, not that he made an appearence

Simon's Party

I went down to Simon's 50th at the Eveleigh hotel in Chippendale - the old Berkeley - where he'd put on a keg of lazy yak - that's beer. Thanks for the party, hope you had a great day

Ben playing a couple of  excellent sets of covers,with a bunch of people around, I recognise Jon and Big Dan

Phil playing

A conversation at a table outside - I wish i could remember their names, perhaps someone can fill me in.

 

A few fragmentary heads - which is Simon? - I'll leave that to the reader
