I’m presenting the Wellesley story at the Aviation Historical Society of Australia’s Melbourne meeting 7.30 on Wednesday night. It’s a great story, I’ll try and do it justice… If you’re able to join us, it’d be good to see you! Also available on Zoom for members: www.ahsa.org.au/wp/ahsa/ahsa...

Georges Seurat has drawn this laundress washing clothes on a river bank in three basic shapes of light and dark: head, blouse, and skirt against a shaded background. By eliminating gratuitous detail, he has given her a monumental stillness, as if fixed in time. The date is 1881.

Getting back to #DrawingAugust, #DrawingAugust2036, a quick and companionable sketch at the local Ecotherapy park with @bevlaing.bsky.social. She got the brushes out and did one lovely one, I rattled off a few quick ink notes. Individual art to follow!

Today I liked the contrasting shapes and solidity of colour between the birds and the tree. Another quick one laid down for review and later variations. #DrawingAugust / #DrawingAugust2026.

No question that jets are easier to draw than proper aircraft with props, wires and extra wings. Here’s the RAAF Museum’s Macchi jet trainer sketched today for #DrawingAugust / #DrawingAugust2026.

I just watched a young guy in a vintage suit move his vintage furniture around his vintage apartment to make enough room to dance an authentic Charleston to period music played on a vintage record player and THIS IS THE ENERGY WE NEED MORE OF IN THIS WORLD.

Such an effective block with potential to be very dramatic when you place it in a quilt.

The Holocaust was legal. We had a law prof teach a whole course on this. Ppl who conflate what is lawful with what is right are easy to manipulate and control.

It’s a cardigan, can’t you tell? #knitting #kddesigns #beginning
A looped cable / circular knitting needle with a thick loop of knitting. Just a few rows it looks like a small lumpy lasso. A completely unimpressed dog looks out the window behind the loop.

Aw, thank you! I wear the shirt a lot but the quilt needs to be basted - perhaps over the holidays I can do that and start hand quilting it.

I'm like this today, dreaming up ideas for a really inspiring education program that combines plants, conservation and science education. Best. Day.

#ArtAdventCalendar day 6, and species number 6: the dhole, also known as the Asiatic or Indian wild dog. They might resemble foxes with their colors, but are closer to wolves. Fun trivia: instead of howling or barking, they whistle. #SciArt #wildlifeart #dhole #traditionalart #realism
