John de Burgh Perceval (1 February 1923 – 15 October 2000) was a well-known Australian artist. He was the last surviving member of a group known as the Angry Penguins who redefined Australian art in the 1940s. This sketch is inspired by his self-portrait from 1946.

Annette and I circumnavigated the Santa Monica Mountains today, scouting possible locations for future Nature Journal Club meetups. We found several strong contenders, a couple of maybes, and we crossed a few off our list. A productive and fun day! (Sketched from a photo taken while hiking the day before.)

My dear friend Georgia and her mum are spending the week at Scarborough (UK). She sent me a photo of their “windswept joyfulness”, and I just had to capture it in a loose sketch.

Gouache, watercolour, crayon and ink on toned paper. Inspired by Study of a head: self-portrait (1916) by Grace Cossington Smith.
