Inktober #1 'Gum'
Sold out
Original Inktober Artwork 2021
Gum
5x7 inches (12.5cm x 18cm)
Gouache on Fabriano 100% cotton paper
The prompt for the first day of Inktober is 'Crystal,' which only really got me thinking about light. So I've painted a wall of bush where the trees are differentiated by the light that touches their top leaves. This area of bush is just above Hanson Street in Newtown, and features some glints of pink gum flowers.

Marbled
5x7 inches (12.5cm x 18cm)
Coloured pencil on black Fabriano 300gsm paper
I'm using the prompt from Furry Little Peach today, which is 'Smoke.' Gums are one of my favourite trees for their smokey, ghostly bark patterns, and how they almost seem to glow in the dark.

Sold out
Original Inktober Artwork 2021
Tunnel
5x7 inches (12.5cm x 18cm)
White pencil on black Fabriano paper
The prompt for the fourth day of Inktober is 'Knot,' which made me remember all the knotty Pōhutukawa trees tangled together on Auckland's west coast beaches, and how we'd walk through the tunnels they create to shelter from the sea winds 🌊 They also do an amazing job clinging to those cliffs.

Horoeka
5x7 inches (12.5cm x 18cm)
Gouache on Fabriano 100% cotton paper
The prompt for the sixth day of Inktober from Furrylittlepeach is 'Fall,' which I've interpreted as Autumn. So here's a little warm scene of some bush in The Ruahine Range, featuring Horokea (Lancewood) in the foreground. Turns out I also love painting Horoeka and their cool jagged leaves.

Nīkau
5x7 inches (12.5cm x 18cm)
Gouache on Fabriano 100% cotton paper
The prompt for the eighth day of Inktober from Furrylittlepeach is 'Crown.' The way the fronds of a Nīkau palm stand up strong together remind me of a crown. So I've painted some particularly beautiful ones I saw on a walk out near Karekare beach earlier this year. So lush, and so so precious.

Inktober #9 'Southerly'
Sold out
Original Inktober Artwork 2021
Southerly
A5 size
Pen on handmade paper
The prompt for the ninth day of Inktober from Furrylittlepeach is 'Thunder.' I took a break from painting today to draw this impressively flexible gum standing up to a stormy Wellington southerly. How can they bend so much without breaking?! I haven't drawn in this style for a little while, it's nice to revisit it.

Pepeketua
5x7 inches (12.5cm x 18cm)
Gouache on Fabriano 100% cotton paper
We've made it through ten days of Inktober! The prompt for today from Furrylittlepeach is 'Frog.' We don't have many frogs left in NZ today, so we absolutely have to look after the ones we do have! Including their habitats. So today I have painted a teeny tiny endemic Pepeketua (Hochstetter's frog) in the Waitākere ranges, hanging out on a Harakeke leaf.

Original Inktober Artwork 2021
Poppies
5x7 inches (12.5cm x 18cm)
Gouache on Fabriano 100% cotton paper
The prompt for the twelfth day of Inktober from Furrylittlepeach is 'Honey.' That only made me think of bees, because bees are the best, and where they like to hang out. So I've painted a bunch of bright wildflowers and lavenders that the bees love. Something cheerful to brighten up these stupidly cold and windy spring days. Not usually a flower painter, but here we are. Took me ages, hence why I'm posting this morning instead of last night!
