March 21, 2011 | Loraine

Should you feel inclined to help yourself…

Update – Go read Brendan I. Koerner’s recent post – A Pocketful of Eels for enlightening facts on eels as currency and changing tastes.

My dear pal @barbhughes777 - exemplary director and all round most excellent person on the stage of A Man of No Importance @wlt19462016 . Last nights for a beautiful show can be bittersweet!

Fun to be working in a larger format, even if technically the large format is a very special Little Theatre. Thanks @barbhughes777 and @wlt19462016 for the opportunity to help bring the set of A Man of No Importance to life. The attention to detail and the amazing work that the whole team bring to the production is awe inspiring. #setpainting #setdesign #localtheatre

Lots of wonderful things to see and do (and eat!) in beautiful Castlemaine. The festival program is stacked with music, theatre, art, talks, walks and a million other things to discover. Highly recommended. #castlemaine #castlemainestatefestival2019

After the Begonia Festival these beauties shine on. Pop into the Ballarat Botanical Gardens Conservatory. If you can’t make it to Ballarat just swipe across here for a personal flower festival! #bganz

Shhh... the beautiful begonias are resting after their huge weekend at the Ballarat Botanical Gardens Begonia Festival. Thanks to the wonderful staff at BBG for the fascinating back of house tour. #bganz

Ahh Melbourne, you are a fickle creature. 38C for days and days and now feels like 12C... just saying.

Pretty light at Queenscliff. Perfect spot for a little dinner with @uaruvelo.

Here are a few more ladies in black. Swipe for the rest. :) They start out with a very loose, abstracted shapes then somehow they turn into people. Fun for loosening up and letting some happenstance in. Acrylic ink and watercolour. #doodling #illustration #playingwithpaint #lorainecallowdesigns

This could be my “I am not amused “ face when contemplating the fact that it’s 30 something degrees Celsius at midnight again...doodling in acrylic ink and watercolour. #painteveryday #lorainecallowdesigns #illustration

Some of the seaside elements I built my @thesketchbookproject sketchbook out of. A mix of gouache and watercolour and a print I made using a styrene oyster tray. Swipe for a few details if you’re inclined. :) #sketchbooklibrary #brooklynsketchbookproject #tathra #lorainecallowdesigns

These two. Rescue a greyhound, better still, get a pair. You won’t regret it. #greyhoundsofinstagram #bestdogsever #rescuedog

More pared back journal design, printing with real leaves. I’m loving the slightly mid century modernist feel of these. :) #matsbootcamp # lorainecallowdesigns

A couple of pared back journal designs featuring geraniums. Acrylic ink print with acrylic paint background. #matsbootcamp

Exploring imaginary landscapes - playing about with pastel, pencils, charcoal and graphite. Messy here! #draweveryday # lorainecallowdesign #getmessy

Another page from my @thesketchbookproject sketchbook. An impression of burnt out coastal trees in Tathra, NSW. A terrible bushfire roared through the town in March 2018. We saw lots of signs of recovery amidst strangely beautiful landscapes. Gouache on paper. #lorainecallowdesigns#australianart #australianartists

“Limpet” pattern in gouache. I’m a bit taken with this palette. This is a page from my recently completed @thesketchbookproject - I made it about beautiful Tathra NSW. Gouache on paper. #textiledesign #surfacepatterndesign #australia #lorainecallowdesigns

A few patterns from watercolour paintings - I see tea towels soon! I’d like to produce things that are useful. We all have so much stuff! #textiledesign #interiordesign #australiandesign #lorainecallowdesign

This cheeky girl Molly makes me laugh everyday with her darling badger face and funny antics. If you’re looking for a canine pal please consider adopting a rescue greyhound. They are the loveliest creatures. #greyhoundsofinstagram #rescuedog

The lovely Jawbone Marine Reserve - lucky to have this little gem close by. Watercolour and gouache. #lorainecallowdesigns #painteveryday #australianart

Madly working in my @thesketchbookproject @sketchbooklibrary sketchbook - every available surface (and there’s not much of it!) is covered in paint and palettes and stuff... might be time for a quick clean up! #sketchbookproject2019 #lorainecallowdesigns #painteveryday #sketchbookproject
