"Nap time" pen on paper. I have this lovely picture of my partner and baby taking a nap together. It's the most peaceful scene. I wanted to capture the calm and beauty of this moment.

"La tête ouverte" pencil on paper with digital editing.
I like the surrealism of an open head, showing thoughts literally. For some reason I keep drawing open heads. This was my first pencil sketch of the motif.

"Languish" Pen on paper.
The anguish of languishing.
It occupies her mind, colonises her brain.
Is what she languishes for something she wants? Or only something she's obsessing over.
While it feels like the former, she'll find out someday, it was in fact the latter.

"Witness" pen on paper.
She sees something. She's frozen between action and inaction. She wants to do something but what can she really do? Will it put her in danger? So she stares, unable to get her body to move.

"Dear" "Deer" pen on paper.
The dear man.
The deer man.
I felt like drawing a strange but intriguing deer man.

"Self portrait" pencil on paper. While it is admittedly an unfinished sketch, it's probably one of my favourite self portraits - maybe it's a bit narcissistic to have many self portraits, never mind a favourite, but ultimately I am my most available model - this shows a different style of drawing, that I haven't explored much in the past few years. Maybe I'll get back to it, or maybe it's behind me. The joy of creativity is letting your own mind surprise you.

"The woman" pen on paper.
The woman stares, unflinching.
This world is not built for her, She grows tired of trying
But she holds firm, and as always, lets go of rancour.

"A bird from down under" white ink on black paper. Honestly not a fan of the name I gave this when I drew this a few years ago, but I wrote it on the drawing so here we are. I just thought it looked like an upside down bird. Could I have turned the paper so it would look right side up? Yes, I definitely could have. Anyway, according to Wikipedia, there are over 11,000 known species of birds in the world, with perching birds (passerines) making up almost half of all birds. Australia has about 900 bird species.

Pair of sunflowers in my garden.

I struggle with not getting lost in detail. So this is an attempt to backup and try to focus less on the small things.
