I’ve been busy creating some works for an exhibition in Manapouri. The theme, being “flight” sat perfectly with my style and critters. It’s great to have a focus, it puts a little pressure on and a definite date for completion.

It all means a period of frantic busyness but great to get the works all coming together at the end.

There’s something wonderful about small town art exhibitions, usually held in the local multi-purpose hall, put together by an enthusiastic group of volunteers. I walk into a hall like that and it triggers great memories of flower shows, baking competitions, knitting, school fairs, school concerts, chocolate wheels, friendly people………….

The work got completed, packed up (Birdwoman fit right into the theme so went too), and off we went, car filled to the brim.
