Hornsby Art Prize Entry

After much uhmming and awhing, decided to enter the image of the hunched seated model in the Hornsby Art Prize this year.

I considered this one – which is my preference but it just didn’t have it in the frame. Needs a background colour to push it out, I think?

Jane Austere and Fred Little

I have no idea what their real names are but I know which one is probably the more relaxed.

Brolly Boy (Pen & Ink)

Midweek evening, flowers in hand. Love token? Peace offering? Commiserations? There is confidence in the posture but the umbrella suggests that this is someone who arrives prepared for a sudden turn in the weather.

Black Combat Bag and Book (Pen & Ink)

This lady had a lot of presence. She dresses entirely in black, most of the time.

Dressed for the plains (pen & ink)

Spotted this man on the train last week. Great face, lots of character and the hat was cool. Not sure I quite captured the face and what looks (in the sketch), like a bandanna around his neck, was actually the collar of his tee-shirt. It’s not often you spot someone wearing a hat like this and a tracksuit but today was my day.
