I was so surprised this morning when I woke to see that the sun was up and the predicted rain and thunder storms were not present. So it was with great delight that after breakfast we made our way to the Ferry at the Paihia wharf. Sharron calls us kittens as she tries to herdContinue reading "April Adventures. Day6."
April Adventures. Day 5.
We have superb accomodation in Paihia. The hotel is across the road from the sea. Vistas out to the Bay of Islands . This morning I did a demonstration for the group and then they went away and painted on their individual balconies as the rain came down. I divided the paper in half withContinue reading "April Adventures. Day 5."
April Adventures. Day 4.
Just a quiet start to the day today. It didn’t stay that way though. At 9am we were out on the street with our bags and painting gear ready for Sharron to take us all to breakfast. Sharron was full of apologies that she couldn’t take us to the original restaurant for breakfast as againContinue reading "April Adventures. Day 4."
April Adventures. Day 3.
So the day has finally arrived. Sharron and I have been planning this art tour since August last year! It started off quite funny really when Sharron arrived to pick everyone up in the bus and no one was waiting. Unfortunately she had missed adjusting her watch to daylight savings time and arrived an hourContinue reading "April Adventures. Day 3."

December delight
Another trip to Hawera where we dismantled my watercolour exhibition. Beautiful gallery, beautiful people and I’m so pleased that I did it. Part of the weekend was also spent painting outdoors with the Watercolour NZ artists at the paintaway weekend in Oakura, Taranaki. It rained most of the time but most people were able toContinue reading "December delight"
Sunny November
I have often wondered how good it would be to have a solo exhibition. Now I know. It’s a lot of work but so rewarding, especially when it’s held in Hawera, the town of my birth. Monday night 8th November was opening night for my Watercolour Reflections, Past and Present exhibition. I have been preparingContinue reading "Sunny November"
