Moreton Bay Fig trunk. (plein air sketch)


I went to Minipipi Parklands this afternoon. I drew/sketched from quarter to 4pm until 1/4 to 6 pm. Not without incident either. I was accosted by a couple of weird parents, who didn't like the fact I asked the little boy 3 times not to ride his scooter in front of me when I was drawing. Long story short, I told them I was going to ring the police, they were that bad.. sigh.

  3. Jeesh JJ, calling the cops? Such hardness from a painter, wow, it's confirmed then, you are teh hard case of the group.

    That's what you get for sketching a whole day early on me. I am still coming to terms with it being March 1, and you're posting tomorrow. I can't get used to this.

    As to the sketch, I really like this one, it has character.
