☆ Driving my Digger [Friday art]

Tweet

This is just a really quick post today - the Night markets are on in town + this is my second last markets of 2014, and probably my biggest one.

It feels like the entire town comes to the party + they close the main street off to traffic, having all the stalls on the road. 

Last year was big, this year will be massive (I hope.)

Any way last week I shared with you the T-Rex Rider. A commission for a friend of mine. Well she asked me to do another one for her youngest boy.

He is obsessed with machinery + diggers are a favourite of his.

But since I am me, I decided on a quirky variation on the traditional caterpillar diggers!

Anyway, I know there will be two very excited little boys opening up their christmas presents this year + that makes me so extremely happy!

Have a great weekend everyone, and if your in the Cowra area, make sure you print off your voucher for 10% off everything at the markets!

I am continuing on the theme of boys this month.

A friend of mine asked me many months ago if I would paint something for her two boys.

When I was painting Fred's 'Scuba Boy' I was inspired to do the paintings for my friends boys.

Make sure you pop back next Friday for the second painting!

Have a great weekend.

Week 45: Friday 7th 2014 

I was asked by my nephew when I was going to paint him a new painting. Last year I painted this one to celebrate his brother's birth + he keeps asking me for a painting of him + his toothless.

But I was feeling a different type of painting for Fred.

He is a massive fan of the Octonauts. If you are unfamiliar with these guy, they are animal explorers of the ocean + are charged to protect, explore + rescue. (Is is sad I didn't have to look this up?)

Anyway, if you have children under the age of five, these are hugely popular characters for both boys + girls.

(It's not just for kids - Mac is a huge fan too by the way!!)

Fred loves the octonauts + his favourite toy is the red shark gup.

I had been thinking of painting Fred as an octonaut, but it wasn't until I started sketching that I finally figured out where I was going to go.

All I have this week is a work in progress shot for you as I am gathering everything + preparing for the Christmas Markets I am attending next weekend. 

Which by the way if you are in the Bathurst area I hope you will pop in + say hi.
