Sometimes, there is an image, that just makes you need to sit still and keep looking right into it...this s that image for me.  It's quiet but present and almost surreal. 
This Australian Pelican used to sit with me for hours when I would go to a place called Cape Petterson near Inverloch in Victoria....I would sit there until I had all of my work done.....Every now and then he would look over his shoulder and almost check to see if was working.  One day I sat until the sun was setting and this is my memory of this beautiful bird, and that beautiful day.  kindly Karina xx

(hello again Sue! xx)
This is a 'redraw' of a previous work. The original
work sold to a family member to keep it in the family, sadly, they are a few
states away, and I was hopeful to enter it into a show....so, redraw!  It
has been very interesting to see how my drawing has evolved over 12
months.....more detail and smoother coverage.....it was a good exercise. 

Hope you're all well!  kindly karina xx

Here is the latest work, for a dear friend of mine, who wanted a drawing of her grandson as a gift.  She simply wanted the beauty and infectious innocence and joy of a child to be felt, as that is how she feels about her little Cooper.  We achieved that together, and what a wonderful joy it was to do some work for her!
