First Sketch

First Sketch

I finally started my sketchbook (that I mentioned in this post)! This sketch is of our first destination Greece! We are sitting on our favourite beach Trugonu on the island Rhodes. It is a stunning pebble beach (very different to the beaches in Australia). Many cruise boats visit there throughout summer, for tourists to swim in the beautiful water. It is so crystal clear that you have no idea how deep it is.

This was so much fun to sketch. I can't wait to keep going tomorrow.

It was so nice to escape the freezing winter weather in Adelaide and spend 10 days in gorgeous Cairns (one of my favourite places in Australia). Every day was like a perfect summer day. I think it will have to become a regular winter destination! I had a great time with family and friends, shopping, walking along the stunning beaches, exploring the rainforest around Mossman Gorge, fishing, Go-Kart racing and looking at galleries. I even found a gallery to sell my work while I was there. Does that mean the trip is tax deductible?? You can now find my work in the Cairns Regional Gallery gift shop (the main gallery in Cairns).

Below are some pictures from the trip:
