This time quite a lot brighter – but the same size and format.
And still looking at the Tuscan landscape.

One painting totally finished
One done and dusted. Part of a series of five on Italy; mainly the Tuscany area. This is 45cm wide by, umm, quite a lot high – I did know the measurement at one stage!Share this:

Preparing for a new exhibition
I have an exhibition coming up at the Albany Garden Centre in Auckland in December/January in their Cafe area. I need 5 quite large paintings, much larger than I normally do. The owners prefer reds and wood tones, and if at all possible an Italian theme. Hmm, okay…So I tracked down some photos of the Tuscany region, printed them out as “brain food” and got Tony to help me sift through my canvas stocks till we found some the right size. This afternoon I got into my art room and really went for it. I am really pleased with the result – it’s red, it’s Tuscan and it’s done! (okay, except for the edges, the signature, the sealant…)

The All Blacks LOST
I am not a huge rugby fan, but I do try to watch the All Blacks big games.
We lost the World Rugby Cup quarter final against France this morning. France were better than us today, simple as that.It’s a big thing for New Zealand, our tourism board has put huge $ into promoting us in France over the last 2 weeks of the Cup – hope the investment still pays off. This is a great place to visit…

Bush fires
The fire season has only just started in Australia, our nearest neighbour, and the bush fires have begun. Awful, scary stuff. I feel so sorry for the farmers, the animals, the fire fighters who must get so exhausted, their families who are left alone so much of the time, worrying about their loved one out there working hard in the heat and danger.Thank goodness we don’t normally have those sorts of fires here in NZ, and certainly not where we live. I think they would terrify me.Watching the news the other night about the bush fires got my imagination all stirred up, and this is what popped out.Share this:
