Here is a selection of the postcards from Mr Jinx and his big day out.

Heading out!

Enjoying some sunshine at Curtain Square

Num num!

And back home again hanging out with Freddy.

Our dear Olive is turning 12. When Olive was a tiny thing she was given a duck called Mr Jinx, and they have been almost inseparable ever since. For her birthday Mr Jinx has sent some postcards revealing some of his secret adventures. . .

Checking the coast is clear!

More pictures coming soon. . .

Our primary school has an art show each year and I have spent the last while creating these prints for the gift shop. I have also painted some original artworks for the show (some of which have been used to create the prints), and I will show you the paintings once they return from the framers this week, hopefully in time for the exhibition art recieval!

Fred is enjoying the Autumn sunlight this weekend. He is a friendly soul who loves a cuddle and is known to be up on the bench in a flash searching for crumbs at any opportunity. We say 'Oh Freddy!'

There is one more larger print that I have framed and will be on standby.

The title is 'The Unexpected Truth'

The month of April has been brought some lovely news. The CBCA shortlist was announced recently and to my surprise and delight, Peggy is in it! I can hardly believe she is there, but very happy to see her quietly sitting in the bunch.

This is my studio. A place to think, explore, reflect and draw. There is no washing staring at me here, or clothes to pick up. I have always worked in a studio, except when the children were tiny babies. I must admit I love having a studio. I know some illustrators work from home and are very happy, but for me being able to go to a studio and paint is wonderful. I thought you may like to see the view!

Speaking of illustrators and authors, this weekend there is a fabulous event on at the State Library! There are so many exciting people to see there. Its all happening on Sunday from 10am - 4pm and its free!
