The last safe patch.
(click to enlarge)
It’s the last day of September and I thought a good way to mark the day was to post a few of my recent polar bear drawings.
Where to now.
Other than drawing I've spent the last days wrapping orders, gluing journals, and folding cards. I was also able to sneak in time to watch the footy grand final.
My Sunday afternoon has now slipped away and night is here, so I'd best be off. There's a documentary on whale migration that I'm looking forward to watching and I have a long list of hammer & daisy jobs to complete before then. I’ll leave you now with a photo of two of Thelma’s stuffies in the window of Arthur’s Circus. It’s a new store in North Melbourne that’s just bought a whole family of stuffies, and pins, too. These two graced the front window on a very windy Friday.
Medium: watercolour and pencil on Fabriano 640gsm traditional white paper
Dimensions: 18 x 38cm and 8 X 12cm
I love the polar bears! Good to see them again... :)

Your polar bear paintings are so lovely, I *heart* how you use different colours for shading (so delicate and heart-warming).
Thelma's stuffies are full of character and so much fun!!

Hi Jac, Shari, Lisa, Inger, Andrea, Crust station, Comfies and Amisha,
Oh I’m glad the polar bears have made a come back as well. I’ve really enjoyed drawing them again. I spun past Arthur’s Circus again today and the stuffies were still sitting there in the window smiling away to the passing traffic. They still make me chuckle when I see them. There are some brand new ones that Gracia and I picked up today to photograph and sell. They seem to be getting better and better.
Cheers,
LJ
PS. Glad you found my blog and enjoyed my new drawings Inger, it’s exciting to be know for my Polars.
