Kat MacLeod's Process from Jacky Winter on Vimeo


I was amazed to come by this on Vimeo.


Playing on a loop at Kat Macleod's solo show opening at 
Lamington Drive, this video documents her working process
over the period of a month in her studio.


Liss and I watched this together,
completely absorbed as each tiny girl emerged from the paper.


It's so special. Watch.

p.s the first girl to emerge is soon to be living on my wall :)

Betty Jean - 1922

I did this portrait from an old photograph titled 'Betty Jean - 1922.' She was just too cute not to draw.




Happy Thanksgiving!!

Henry

For his mother's birthday, I did two portraits of Henry- one baby and one current. I am very happy with how they turned out. Isn't he handsome?

It has been pouring with rain all day today.
I have watched an entire season of The Hills on dvd.

Avery

Avery is a gorgeous little girl that I completely adore. For her third birthday I did three portraits capturing her at different ages. Sadly, my camera wasn't cooperating so the pictures are a bit dark.

Welcome!

I've never considered myself a portrait artist, those are people who spend years and years at the best art schools. For me, it's something different, something that's been brewing under the surface for over 24 years. My budding interest began at the age of three with my infamous self portraits. Blond hair, red dress, red nails, and red shoes. Of course I didn't own red shoes, nor was I allowed to wear nail polish that young, but my imagination was already working and drawing brought my imaginary world to life.

Fast forward to the present, where my inspiration arrived from not the color red, but from my beloved pug, Wellington. He is, without a doubt, my muse. I find endless enjoyment in drawing his expressive face with it's many folds and wrinkles while trying to capture his infinite wisdom.




This blog will be for posting finished portraits, works in progress, and many, many portraits of Wellie.

Enjoy and stop by often.

VOGUE

I don't do secrets very well....especially when they're exciting!
But now I can burst openly with excitement about THIS:



Vogue writer, Clare Press, has written the most amazing article about my
work and my upcoming solo show, 'Where the Wild Things Are' at 696.
After all of the hyperventilating I've done this week,
it's still all a bit surreal!

The article is in the current issue of Australian Vogue (Dec 08)
with the most beautiful shot of Lily Donaldson on the cover.

To read the article in full click on the image below for a bigger view.
Or - alternatively you could go buy the mag - you get a free lipgloss! :)
