Community Gardens Illustrated

I sat by the window and drew little community garden scenes. Those little snippets of life within a garden that we all love. Piles of collected fruit, colourful windmills, spiralling beans and cheeky frogs.
I'm paid for this?

I scatter them over the paving stones to photograph them so I could bring them into my computer. It's there that I will turn them into an illustration based website for the Community Gardens Network, Western Australia.
I'm paid for this?

I brought the community garden scene to life by bringing the elements into the landscape of a page. I filled them with blocks of colour and let them hang off the edges of the site... because they can!
and I'm paid for this?

I placed my photographs underneath some images, to add a layer of the real juicy garden life. A life I'm experiencing NOW in Queensland. I'm picking and eating my food, I'm planting fruit for my future, I'm grounded when my hands are dirty.

So I'm happy, my client is happy and best of all, I'm paid for this!

We have recently had a similar experience in visiting our luscious incredible block of land in Tassie - so much potential for growing, and grounding and delightful dirt encounters :)
