moving house sketching

A very short post this week, as I have moved house over the past few days. There have been moment of waiting when I could sketch and have been able to document my move.

Man With a Van removalists

I sketched the removalists while sitting on the stairs waiting.

The night before the move – all the boxes lined up. I meant to add more detail, but ran out of time/ energy.

 

My bears in my backpack. 

Now that the absolute basic are in place in each room I can spend time organising my art cupboards, greeting card supplies, travel sketching class kits and everything else. Fun ! 

I have over 30 boxes of books to unpack at some time.

We strolled to Fitzroy Gardens and had a delicious lunch at Kere Kere Green cafe. I sketched the outdoor area while we relaxed for a while before going back home to unpack more boxes.

A house warming present of a nest that was found on the ground . It is tiny and from South East Queensland – does anyone know which bird it is from. This is now the smallest nest i have and will join my others in a display cabinet, when I unpack them.

If you like the idea of a nest housewarming gift , I have a series of greeting cards printing with my watercolour pencil drawings of feathers and nests available for purchase on my ETSY site
