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! Exhibition closes on Oct 15. . . . . . #kendreart #30daysofdrawing #thebigdraw #illustration #illustrativeart #thebigdraw2018 #hillsartAU #adelaidehillsart #adelaidehills #australia #aussieart #lobethalwoollenmill #bigdraw #draw #sunday #sundaymornings #relaxing #weekends #coffee

Left hand drawing for the International Big Draw Festival. 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

My best friend, Katie. 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. Miss you 🙏🏻 . . . . . . . #thebigdraw #kendreart #dogart #hillsartAU #dogillustration #kelpie #kelpiecollie #30daysofdrawing #australianart #lobethalwoollenmill #aussieart #adelaidehillsart #draw #mansbestfriend #southaustralian #illustrativeart #dogs #goolwabeach #adelaidehills

Agnes’s Shoes, an oil painting by Kendrea. Inspired by the journey of author, Hannah Kent, culminating in her debut novel ‘Burial Rites’. In 1830, Agnes Magnúsdóttir was the last person to be executed in Iceland. Hannah stepped into her shoes and through poignant storytelling portrays common human traits of prejudice, love and subservience. Cool colours were deliberately chosen to convey the cold, dark winters in Iceland. The greys elicit a sense of dread that Agnes may have felt as her execution drew closer. . . This painting was on exhibition at the Lobethal Woollen Mill at the h.ART ‘In These Shoes’ exhibition for the Adelaide Fringe Festival. . . . #burialrites #hannahkent #adelaidefringe2018 #adelaidehillsart #kendreart #lobethalwoollenmill #iceland #agnesmagnusdottir #agnesmagnúsdóttir #historicalfiction #oilpaintings #snowpainting #southaustralianartist #southaustralia #contemporaryart #modernart
