A Few More Before Melbourne

Though I'm hoping to get some people drawings done on Southbank or around Federation Square . . .

Some of these are finished, some not, some think they are but may be returned to.  The first one below, Ormiston, is an example of this; it has had various layers over the last 18 months.  This last incarnation is because the Studio 12 changeover is happening next Saturday and I hadn't anything new really that wasn't due for the exhibition.  So this, while not new, had not been exhibited before (mainly because I wasn't completely happy with the tonal range, which just seemed to lack something).  So I got some white and orange out yesterday and had a bit of a go. Needless to say it was an interesting journey in with it today, as white, especially if its put on a bit thickly, takes the longest of all colours to dry . . . and it looked like rain too, so I had to wrap it in a tarp (at 90 by 120cm its a bit big for behind the seats) before putting it in the tray.
