ABSTRACTING COCONUTS

My walks along Sarina Beach were very rewarding. I got some much-needed exercise and I took a lot of photos, some of which have already realised some digital artworks.

The images I have posted today were inspired by two coconuts I found washed up on different beaches in my travels in Far North Queensland. Their husks had been split open and they looked rather interesting. What do you think?

I quite like digital drawing. It’s much easier for me to do than coloured pencil drawing while we are on the move. Besides being a complete change from coloured pencils, it’s also an opportunity for me to explore another art medium.

As I have discussed on this blog before, digital art offers exciting possibilities for artists although I’m I feel that the creation of original work may become a thing of the past if artists fail to recognise the value of an art school education.

As we are spending 4 weeks over Christmas at Hervey Bay, I may get inspired to get my coloured pencils out or open my Macbook Pro and draw.
