Update On My Work

I've been so focused on my portrait lately that every time I work on it, it changes so much. So here are some more photos of it since the last time you saw it.


I put this outside to see what kind of light I could get on them. And found it picked up colours in the painting!


Most recent photo of my portrait... got a long way to go.

I'm currently working on the hair and adding more detail to the mouth, cheeks and chin; otherwise I'm hoping to get it finished in the next few weeks.

coming along really nicely! I wonder if that bottom lip juts out just ever so slightly, or are you happy with this? has a thoughtful look- expressive thoughtful eyes! I like!

Paintings, Yarn Bombing, Outsider Work and Other Interesting Things

Hi there and welcome to used to be 'A Natural Background' and is now 'Crafty Pegs'. This is an art blog which I hope will pique your interest in many diverse areas in the art world. I've opened a small hobby business which has spilled over into Facebook and onto my website - which you will find on the sidebar.

I'm a volunteer at the Logan Art Gallery and have been there for almost 20 years; so I have seen many different styles of art come through its doors, met some great artists and a few collectors as well. However, I'm also an artist in my spare time. I use acrylic paints and have been attempting to find my style for the past few years.

Not only will you see my work up here on my blog (through links I put up inside the blogs themselves), but you will also see links to photos of outsider work which is not my own. This work is from around Logan City and Brisbane. Some of it is little more than graffiti while others will be public murals and great works of art by some community groups.

I hope to keep you up-to-date with other artists such as Anthony Lister and Chris Trotter. So, please enjoy this little blog... peruse and comment and please do follow; as you never know what I may find out there to put up here.
