Textile art in oil paint: 2nd installment from an all-thumbs knitter🧵🧶🦠🎨 . Another three squares of the 16 quilt-patterned ‘textile artwork’ entitled Encounterpane. . Each of these squares contains an impression of a Northrop Loom Dropper Drive. The actual piece is stuck to the painting (3rd image). Encounterpane features 16 impressions of the decades old, unsung dropper drive mechanism without which, the highly commended Onkaparinga blankets simply would not exist. . . . . . . . #loomweaving #weavinghistory #onkaparingawoollenmill #kendreart #adelaidehillsart #hillsartau #textileart #lobethalwoollenmill #squares #abstractarts #fabrik #sala2016 #sala #textiles #oilpainting Textile art in oil. This is what you do when you can’t sew or knit 🧵🧶🦠🎨 but you desperately want to join a textile exhibition 😬. Three squares of the 16 quilt-patterned ‘textile artwork’ entitled Encounterpane; lovingly woven with oil paints for SALA at the Woollen Mill. The Lobethal Woollen Mill is a conduit of creativity and for over 120 years, artists, crafts people, workers and communities have employed many mediums to bring their ideas to life. It all started with the humble Onkaparinga Woollen blanket, hence ‘Encounterpane’ in oil. #kendreart #adelaidehillsart #hillsartau #textileart #lobethalwoollenmill #squares #abstractarts #fabrik #sala ‘Water shortage’. An oil painting using a limited palette and Pixaloop ➰. This painting nearly made it to an exhibition this year.. . Scroll through the pictures to see what happened! . The painting was in the back of my car about to be delivered to the exhibition at the Mill. . I picked up my son on the way and without looking, he threw his skateboard into the back of the car. Image 2 is the result 😱.. . Devastated, I took the painting in to my painting guru. I was shocked when she said, we can just about fix that 😬.. . So my son and my guru worked together with water, canvas, PVA glue and many magazines (ballast).. . To my relief it worked - not necessarily to exhibition standard, but definitely to my kitchen standard 🚰👏♥️. Now this nearly exhibited painting bares the scars of life, but tells a tale of remorse and collaboration and forgiveness 🦋. .

I discovered that I have more than one artist residing within. My left and right handed approaches are so different that I must identify them as separate entities; it’s not just me drawing anymore.. . My left handed artist statement appeared on the paper, without conscious thought.. . Then the chatterbox right hand snatched the pen to dominate the situation. A Cinderella moment to be sure, as words spewed out all over the page. . This realization is a gift revealed by The International Big Draw Festival - thank you 🙏🏻🔆❤️. . . . . #kendreart #hillsartAU #lobethalwoollenmill #adelaidehillsart #hillsart #30Daysofdrawing #bigdraw #thebigdraw #illustrativeart #adelaidehills #woollenmill #communityarts #southaustralia #ambidextrous #leftandright Sunday Morning Cuppa - a right hand drawing for the International Big Draw Festival. . Taking the theme of ‘play’ quite seriously, I decided to experiment with my left-hand as well as my right. And in doing so I have truly discovered a gift: my split personality. ✏️✍🏻 . . . My right hand has utterly different thoughts to my left. The right is intellectual, analytical, somewhat manipulative and precise. My left hand insists on flaws, flow and freedom. Even the subjects that choose to be drawn (nothing like a little personification) make a subtle second decision on the hand that will represent them best. . Come see the exhibition at the Woollen Mill in Lobethal, South Australia. Join in and draw your heart out!

Anzac Day March Melbourne 2018. Flinders Street Station in the background.. . This part of Melbourne holds a special place in my heart - my grandfather (Pa) was abandoned in the pub over the road from the station. It’s most likely that his mother caught the train with the seven children to Flinders St, leaving them at the Young and Jackson Hotel in June 1924.. . . . . . . . . . #kendreart #30daysofdrawing #thebigdraw #ilustration #illustrativeart #thebigdraw2018 #hillsartAU #adelaidehillsart #adelaidehills #australia #aussieart #lobethalwoollenmill #flindersstreetstation #draw #lefthanded #leftdraws #anzacday #anzacday2018 Left hand drawing for the International Big Draw Festival. Our two beloved chooks, with characters and behaviors that will make you swear they have thoughts beyond food.. . Once there was 17, but a fox has been and now there are 2. Nothing left to do. The older girl (in the background) hid for two whole days after the fox attack. She came home eventually and sat on the kitchen steps until I fell over her! . . . . . . . . #kendreart #30daysofdrawing #thebigdraw #ilustration #illustrativeart #thebigdraw2018 #hillsartAU #adelaidehillsart #adelaidehills #australia #aussieart #lobethalwoollenmill #chickenart #draw #lefthanded #leftdraws #chooks R E S P E C T - Aretha. .

Drawn left-handed and upside down for the International Big Draw Festival.. . With the theme of ‘play’ I knew that Katie wouldn’t mind as she was never an old dog, playing continuously right to the end.. . My contribution to the theme was to play with my non-dominant left hand and start with her ears at the bottom of the page. Can you imagine my glee when I turned the page at the end and Katie appeared! . Thank you my dear beautiful companion.
