This week I listened to the story of Peter and the Wolf with a group of my students. I was inspired to draw these little characters. Maybe I will use these to do some story-telling of my own.

I haven’t drawn the hunters yet, but no time now. My washing and housework eagerly awaits!

I found a selection of these old readers at work today. They were written by Selma and Jack Wassermann and illustrated by George Rohrer.

They were first published nearly forty years ago.

The illustrations are just wonderful.

It’s funny how the way you view things changes. A few years ago I would’ve thought how old and out dated these were, time to get rid of them. But now I view them as ‘a real find’ that needs to be kept safely. I also think what can I learn from these illustrations to bring into my own work? I might just have to search a little more and see what other treasures I can find?

The children had crazy hair day at school. Note the lovely art work in the background. I am not the only person in this family who likes to draw. So today I am going to feature some of Scott, Jessica and Chloe’s art work.

Now it’s my turn. I wanted to make a simple and colourful illustration. My starting point was these ducks I took a photo of last week out at Warrandyte.

I am not sure what he has done wrong but this little panda sure looks sorry.

I have come to note that rarely do koalas smile. So these pictures show the grumpy look!

Here is the finished picture.

This is half of the picture that I’m working on at the moment. I will update it tomorrow.

P.S. Adriana, a friend of mine has just started a blog called knittinggold.  She wrote an entry on the Beaconsfield miners that is well worth a read.  Keep up the great knitting Adriana.
