Sketches from OZ

While visiting "home" this summer I have filled one sketch book and am about to start another. I thought I would post some sketches here for those interested. Sorry about the poor quality, I only have an  iphone and I have tried to crop for two hours and somehow lost all my work....Augh.

Julie's Unit Building

Sketch for watercolor of Julies building from a different angle

      Cronulla Beach

At Julie's school, Inaburra School, in Menai NSW (link here), the theme for the year in the library is "Bridges to Storyland", so she built a bridge for the students to walk over and I painted her a cmsh original for the library.

My interpretation.

Then later in the week I took the year 5 students and we created three works of art together for auction at the fundraiser dinner.
