The Hat

The hat I received as a farewell present from work seems to be very popular. It is a beauty, made of crocodile skin. I keep having to take it back.

It looks like I need to get used to the hat with corks!

Visit to the National Gallery Of Australia

CranesSketchSchool is not so bad the second time around!

Ash and I went to the National Gallery of Australia today to try our hands at sketching. I gave Alex the choice of era and culture, and he chose Asian Art. We found ourselves seated in front of a Japanese screen featuring cranes. (I cannot think of anything harder to sketch than Japanese cranes – give me Paul Klee anytime!)

CranesOriginalAsh’s work is covered by an embargo, so I can’t show it here yet. Anyway, when my boss checks this attempt out, he will write ‘Software – ONLY software” on my employment file!
