Laughing Dove

Art washes away from the soul the dust of everyday life.
- Pablo Picasso

A daily practice of sketching and painting gives you a chance to exercise the big three P's - practice, practice, practice!


"Laughing Dove" pencil sketch with watercolour in Moleskine watercolour sketch-book- Maree

This is Flutterby, a Laughing Dove I was blessed enough to have in my life for 6 months, kind enough to roost contentedly on a rock in my garden while I sketched her.

  2. Hi Kelly, thanks for the compliments. Yea, that's what it's all about - inspiration! Red and the Peanut is very inspirational and I'd love to sketch some of those Ibises!
