First time entering the Cossack Awards

Sunday July 22 - Sunday August 12 2018

The Cossack Art Awards are held north of Karratha in Roeburne in Western Australia. It is now a ghost town but still has the beautiful old stone heritage listed buildings where they have been transformed into an Art Gallery.

"GLULP, where's your mother?"
by Debra Scidone


Can’t you just hear his despair as he realises the job ahead tending his energetic brood.

Australian Emus – After their courtship the male becomes aggressive to the female and she wanders away and leaves the male to incubate the eggs without leaving the nest and rear the chicks for four months.



The process, before and after

This paintings beginnings were as a result of a mishap while painting "Pilbara Red I & II"
The dropper lid became lodged in the cap of the acrylic ink bottle this is something I am always warning people about and the resulting spill was quickly mopped up by placing another sheet of watercolour paper over the spill.  It was then put aside to dry.
When I next had a chance to look at it I could make out the shapes of several emu chicks.
Can you spot them in the image below?

"You Ruffle My Feathers"

Picture
This is my entry for 2018,

Two Osprey perched  high to oversee the activity below, a little ruffled by the winds coming off the Estuary.

They began once again with abstract washes of watercolour and acrylic inks and then the bird shapes emerged from the paper.

Image size 400mm x 920mm.
Framed 650mm x 1170mm

For those of you that can see more or "Can see what I see?" there are elements of a Darter and some Dolphins as well!


View the slide show below, showing the process from beginning to end.
