Some recent drawings of You Yangs

from w
I took a sketchbook with me last week, one a drive to the Barrabool Hills area and on Saturday to the You Yangs. They were quick, not detailed and on A4 size pages. Apparently this year is International Year of Forests and that is certainly a good thing. There are many beautiful places in the vicinity of Geelong - just a drive of twenty minutes and there is green countryside, hills, forests.

More pictures of You Yangs

from w
I chopped up the weekend magazine that comes with the Age newspaper to make a cut and torn paper picture of the You Yangs and here are a few more variations from the photos. The You Yangs hills make a well-known shape seen across the bay from Geelong and also on the train or road to Melbourne and at times it seems that islands are rising from the sea. Peceli is reminded of the view from Nukutatava of Vorovoro and Mali Islands.

The You Yangs

from w
When returning from Melbourne you see the You Yangs and it means that home is about 20 minutes away. The light changes according to the time of day, weather, fog, storms around. The other day fog made it look like a Chinese painting. Here are a few variations.

Never satisfied with just one picture

from w
Using Picasa and also Photo-edit i played about with variations which started from the two halves of the painting I made yesterday. I probably like the bushfire effect on the negative pics.
