Experiences At The Hospital

Experiences At The Hospital. 5th May 2023
This work is more or less a conceptual work about the goings in and goings out of the patients in the hospital. Some get to go home, others turn into angels, while others have to face their fears and have to face them. Hospitals are not the nicest of places to visit for time off. Really. :-/ Still, they are places where many and most people do get to go home, all clean and patched up. Ink on A4 acid free card.

In The Hospital Again

In Hospital Again 4 May 2023 was drawn in my hospital stay in May 2023.
A cartoon explaining some of the ins and outs that had been going on at the time, my views and feelings. .
The drawing was coloured by copic inks at a later stage and then presented here, and on my Instagram page- annaborosartist
The Instagram page mostly shows my ongoing work and is up to date. A4 in size.

Pole Dancing Iris

Pole Dancing Iris is an A4 drawing that was done at my stay in a local hospital. I did a series of several drawing in my 3 week there.

Have you ever watched irises in their large pot dancing in the breeze? I have. They sway ever so gently, and like a gentle dance, there time to shine is fleeting. So it’s best to notice.

I find drawing is very good for the soul whenever I am in hospital. For me, arting is my life so my soul must be pretty good these days! 🙂

Cats In My Loungeroom. Completed 8 December 2022

A rather whimsical work, though the truth of the matter is that I have had 13 cats in my loungeroom, though quite some years ago. I used to rescue cats, but I do not do it on such a large scale these days. Unfortunately, people in my area who were renting that could not afford to rent anymore, left their animals behind for other people to take care of the homeless. Its quite the disgusting part about human nature isn’t it, right?

I Love Meow

I Love Meow. 1st Jan2022. ink on 220gsm on acid free card. A3 in size.


I Love Meow is a whimsical piece done in the cartoon style. As you can see, the work is drawn about an old cat lady who loves her 4 cats. The page has many banners saying the title of the work in glyphs- just like a little coded message.
There are many different types of pots scattered around this world. Pots off fur, cat poo smells, whiskers, playtime, pat cats pats, purrs, fur balls, cat scratches, claw stabs, whiskers, and above all, love. The 4 cats all have something to say which are so typical of cats being their own unique personalities. Reading them you will be heartened.
This small collection of in situs below can give you an idea of where the original can be placed and also where a large print of the work can be utilised as well. Original A3. Prints from A4 to poster size.

I enjoy using cartooning to come up with colourful, sometimes childish, artwork. Some cartooning is necessary for a particular concept etc, but drawing these can be so soothing for me, because i can just let go and doodle away- like this one. Serious thought can be used for my more serious works, but i do believe joy can be passed on with the almost silliness and wonder of these particular types of works.

In a smaller area which can draw a person in to read it.

A large poster print in a larger setting which a couple or more diners can use as a conversation piece. Or, a large print could quite well modernise and brighten a child’s room.

You Wanted More Cats.

You Wanted More Cats. 30 December 2021.

Just before the end of a passing year, I endeavour to keep to a tradition of making a drawing before the year goes out . Sometimes, it is not possible, but this time it was, and it is probably because most of us are at home having a quiet time in, not venturing out for parties so much, due to the new Omicron Virus. So before I entered into 2022, I drew this A3 sized work as something amusing to bide the time away. I do like a few easier works before I set out on a major work again. The inspiration for this was that recently, a fellow artist told me that ‘ You do love your cats’ due to me having quite a few drawings and some paintings of them. So I had a giggle, and called the bluff, and did this particular drawing of which another was added in 2022 titled ‘ I Love Meow’ in the January 2022.

This original is an A3 size on 220 GSM Acid Free Card. Drawn Comic style in ink outlining, and Derwent coloured pencils which gives it a ‘young feel’ about it. The texture in the work is made obvious for this reason. I guess it could go well, enlarged for a children’s room, or just a fun animal lovers abode.
It is colourful and some of the individual cat drawings are quite funny: ie. The drooling kitty, the anime kitty, the toothy kitty, and so on.

You Wanted More Cats. Original A3 in size, but can be enlarged to a similar sized poster sized print as shown below.

This is a conceptual work. It is about bringing incongruent styles together to form balance and harmony. Often we think that certain aspects may not fit or may not complement the other. Certain things certainly can but often it’s up to the artist to think outside the box…Often, this is where one can find these in. This is where we can make new art, new fashion. New styles, and even break rules. Ultimately, in the end, it is the vote of the many that will take a new ideal under its wing. This of course is whether it can serve the need of many, or otherwise, wait until time changes it.

Untitled Abstract 30 August 2021

Untitled Abstract 30 August 2021
Medium: Acrylic Paint, Metallic acrylics, and permanent ink.
Concept: It is the antithesis of Covid 19.

Untitled Abstract is seen here in an ideal setting. The original is
canvas on canvas frame only. It is not framed.

If you can imagine the room being darker and there would be an Ultraviolet light turned on, the fluorescent paint would show up so brightly. The painting itself was taken with the UV torch on it to produce this painting’s display.

Wedding

This work was completed on the 17th of June 2021 Its medium is acrylic on canvas. The work canvas measures 60cms x 50 cms.
The wedding took place in October 2019 at the Japanese Gardens in Auburn NSW Australia.
This is painted using a photograph as reference. The venue has beautiful gardens with lots of different sections, some with beautiful green lakes and romantic curved bridges. So many trees everywhere. Just gorgeous! In this area where they are here, there were lots of geese, and no more peacocks to be seen in this section. There were lots of large standing rocks and fenced in areas of bright orange stained fencing. It is a rather quirky situation I am sure you would agree, but it surely fits with this pair of lovebirds, with their love for all life, birds and animals.

Impression of ideal setting.
This work has been gifted to the couple.
