Early 2008, felt tip marker on paper
A day spent at a local National Park became an opportunity to draw. I packed a mini-sketchbook and some markers, and tried my hand at representing the local sights. Well, it’s a change from drawing horses!

Hey this is great kitten. It has shades of the Neil Douglas style. He did most of his work on the Australian bush & fauna & captured all the different colours whereas many just see green. Well done
Love dad

Interesting. I tried looking up Neil Douglas and information is hard to find. I found a few links, this one the most relevant:

Hey yeah, it does look a bit Neil Douglassy!
Dad’s got a book or two of ND’s at home. They’re lovely.
