Blue, between violet and green on the spectrum of visible light. Watercolour, with a few strokes of yellow pencil to come. ‘Contemplating marble, stucco, velvet, and gilding, three views of a Koala (Phascolarctos cinereus), a Leadbeater’s possum (Gymnobelideus leadbeateri), and a Red kangaroo (Macropus rufus).’ (This work was produced with APW Printers at Australian Print Workshop, Melbourne, as part of Australian Print Workshop’s ‘French Connections’ project curated by APW Director Anne Virgo OAM.) #WIP #process #lithography #printmaking #handcolouring #FrenchConnectionsAPW
With little #RSPCA foster kitten, Lee (Shelter ID No. 912530), to my left, and Lenni to my right, the space on the couch for me is the crack between the fluffed-up pillows, but it is worth it when they look so content. Lee is staying with us until his next vet appointment, and he is doing really well. His favourite toy is a tiny felt chicken on a chord hanging from a plastic wand. The wand makes a tap-tap noise as he drags it around the room in the spirit of a lion with its prey. #cats #kittens #fostercare #gingertoms #catsofinstagram
‘Two views of a Gouldian finch (Erythrura gouldiae) before a combined view of the Hôtel de Soubise and Hôtel de Guénégaud’, receiving its watercolour wash. (Des Archives nationales is housed within the Hôtel de Soubise, and the Musée de la Chasse et de la Nature is housed within the grand Hôtel de Guénégaud.) (This work was produced with APW Printers at Australian Print Workshop, Melbourne, as part of Australian Print Workshop’s ‘French Connections’ project curated by APW Director Anne Virgo OAM.) #WIP #process #printmaking #handcolouring #FrenchConnectionsAPW
Acetate, taffeta, cotton, felt. Yesterday, we played, and we enjoyed it. Becoming a Salvaged Relative in a ‘Costume for an Oriental dancer to the Queen of Shemakhan’, c. 1937. “The Ballets Russes productions had been conceived in the context of powerful and emotional artistic collaboration, and their #costumes command attention as persuasive works of art in their own right, long after they ceased to be worn on stage. #Bakst re-imagined the richness of Russian #folklore and 18th-century France; #Goncharova’s seahorse costume evokes the fantastic underwater kingdom of Sadko; #Larionov turned the Chout dancers into Cubist sculptures; Tchelitchev and André Masson imagined the future in Ode and Les présages while the oriental splendour of #Matisse’s costumes for Le chant du rossignol were living calligraphy on stage.” — @nationalgalleryaus #ballet #collage #costume #balletrusse #SalvagedRelatives
Up close — twitch, twitch, grow tufted rabbit-like ears — amidst the lichen and meadow flowers, “soft and silent as a dream, a solitary Doe!” (before John William Inchbold’s ‘At Bolton (The white doe of Rylstone’, 1855). In the detail, a revelation: “there & then I saw that I had never painted in my life, but only fooled and slopped, & thenceforward attempted in a reasonable way to paint all I could see” (John Brett, ‘Glacier of Rosenlaui’, 1856). In the foreground for ‘Love and desire: Pre-Raphaelite Masterpieces from the Tate’, at @nationalgalleryaus. In that “lovely gleam”, for a day, to help restore some balance. #gleam #daytrip #minutiae #inthegallery #loveanddesire #thisissaturday
Hello friend. Lovely to see our @printcouncilofaustralia 2004 commission hanging on the wall. ‘A lament to the sleeping kingfisher’ 2004 Two color lithographic offset print hand-colored with pencil on BFK Rives white 250gsm Image size 48cm x 68cm Paper size 56cm x 76cm Printed by Redwood Prints Edition of 40 with bon à tirer and six artists' proofs CurrentIy on display as part of ‘Imprint: A Survey of the Print Council of Australia’ at Parliament House, Canberra, until the 12th of May, 2019 (open 9am to 5pm daily). “This special exhibition featuring prints from the Print Council of Australia’s archival collection includes some of the first prints created by significant Australian artists.... The Commission, which began in 1967, invites artists to submit a limited-edition print for consideration by the PCA and its members. This has resulted in an archive of more than 600 prints, illustrating the rich history of contemporary Australian printmaking.” Noel Counihan, Barbara Hanrahan, David Rose, Ray Beattie, Bea Maddock, Earle Backen, Ruth Faerber, Hertha Kluge-Pott, Olga Sankey, Judy Watson, Janet Dawson, Mary MacQueen, Raymond Arnold, G.W.

A softness of kitten and a parliament of owls. While fostering a little #RSPCA kitten, with a nerve damage at his tail base (Shelter ID No. 912530), we also colour a suite of owl specimens. Both print, ‘At the Musée d’Alfort, Winking owl (Ninox connivens) specimens oversaw the preparation of Honoré Fragonard’s “écorchés”’, and kitten are taking shape. (This work was produced with APW Printers at Australian Print Workshop, Melbourne, as part of Australian Print Workshop’s ‘French Connections’ project curated by APW Director Anne Virgo OAM.) #WIP #process #fostercare #winkingowl #printmaking

Tonight’s series of postage stamps, or pretty maids all in a row, courtesy of ‘Grande Perspective in the memory of a swan’. Our juvenile emu (Dromaius novaehollandiae), mount, before a memory of the ‘Lake of the Swans’, which existed during the reign of Louis XIII. In the distance, a gilded Apollo prepares to roar into placement (Apollo’s Fountain, Versailles). And around the corner, closer to home, a winking owl, of course. (Prints created as part of the Australian Print Workshop’s ‘French Connections’, printed by Martin King.) #WIP #wink #process #Versailles #FrenchConnections
A Superb parrot (Polytelis swainsonii) and two views of a Gouldian finch (Erythrura gouldiae) in the billiards room, bookended by Len Len and our newest #RSPCA foster kitten, Lee. Lee has a fracture at his tail base, sustained prior to entering the shelter, and his stay with us is to make sure he can function, flourish, and fly. Just like ‘On a perch of “cheval usure des dents”, chirping’. (Prints created as part of the Australian Print Workshop’s ‘French Connections’, printed by Martin King.) #WIP #home #process #fostercare #Gouldianfinch #catsofinstagram
Late last week, working side by side, on a Black swan and two views of a Spinifex hopping mouse (Notomys alexis). ‘Not a royal residence but a garrison fortress’, touched up with a little turquoise, tail after tail after tail. Though we collaborate, and finish the others sentences, it feels like it is not often that we get to work side by side, so this was a special treat. (Prints creates as part of the Australian Print Workshop’s ‘French Connections’, (beautifully) printed by Martin King (@artmartz).) #WIP #Louvre #process #handcolouring #FrenchConnections #spinifexhoppingmouse
Hazy Sunday, grateful for the extra hour. Our next door neighbours crashed about until 4.30am, so we decided to embark on a website overhaul in the small hours. Several hours later, and we may have bitten off more than we can chew. Little Lee (‘little-ee’), our new #RSPCA foster kitten, has decided that even though we are sitting still, slumped about the laptop and computer, we are more interesting than his safe house, but not quite as fun as a rolling toilet tube or scaling a shower curtain. Like many of our fosters, he is fond of chasing Lottie. He is taking it all in his kitten-bounce, a mere three-days-in. #home #gingertom #fostercare #thisissunday #catsofinstagram

Making space for a new RSPCA foster cat, a 9-month-old, with a coat the colour of champagne. 🐈 (Image credit: ‘Master of the Kitten’ (detail) (active Antwerp c. 1625–1649) Fruit, dairy, game in an overturned basket, wine in a façon de Venise and a cat on a draped table oil on panel 19 ½ x 36 5/8 in.) #cat #kitten #RSPCA #fostercare #catsinpaintings
By the afternoon, a roll of rodents, drying. By the afternoon, we, too, a prop on a rustic set. Hand-colouring ‘In the Trianon theatre, before a forest set, a Short-tailed spotted cuscus (Spilocuscuc maculatus), a Bennett’s tree-kangaroo (Dendrolagus bennettianus), a Herbert River ringtail possum (Pseudochirulus herbertensis), and a Dusky antechinus (Antechinus swainsonii) wound like a ball of twine.’ (Marie-Antoinette’s Queen’s Theatre, Versailles, “still has various items of scenery (including two full sets) produced in the nineteenth century by Pierre-Luc-Charles Cicéri and his workshop: a ‘rustic interior’, a forest, and fragments of a public square and ‘rich salon’.” [Versailles]) ⚪️ #WIP #process #lithograph #antechinus #watercolour
