Rocky hilltop at You Yangs

More reworking of early drawings. Top is part of the pastel and feltpen sketch made on the site using cheap paper, others are mismatched halves of the new pic I made yesterday using acrylic paint and pencil. It was too big to scan as one picture. My obsession with rocks as you see continues!

Variations of pictures of You Yangs

Here are a few different ways of treating the original pictures I made of rocks and trees at the nearby You Yang hills.

You Yangs near Geelong

About half an hour's drive from Geelong the You Yangs rise in the flat plain and these small hills have interesting picnic spots amidst large rock formations. We used to go there for a bit of respite and also for sunrise church services with youth. I found two sketches I once did and copied them this afternoon instead of going to a writers' gig. One in pencil, the other in pastel, then using Picasa I made a B and W pic of it.

I still have a puppy kind of bark but not the bad bronchitus of the past weeks. While I was in the middle of playing music this morning at Geelong East Uniting, a grandma came over and told me to forget the antibiotics, just buy some Lemsip, add lemonade and hot water. It had cured her after six weeks of coughing! Okay, I'll try anything but stick with the pills though!
