Art Prints and the Coffee Club

The first of dad's large art prints are out for $98.50 each. We have had a fantastic response but can hardly hear ourselves think. They are building The Coffee Club upstairs, replacing Starbucks. It will be great when it is finished.

Additions to our Gallery

There have been some recent stands added to our gallery, which take up the whole of the middle of our gallery. Dad made them by hand. It is the first time that people can see a proper representation of dad's work. People are browsing through and looking at the prints, block-mounted prints small and large, silk screen prints, drawings, small paintings. Dad's going to have new posters of his work in here by the weekend.

I Remember

We are getting dad's Fox Glacier series prints made and also prints from his previous paintings.
One of the prints will be "I Remember". It's a beautiful painting of freishas with dad's wallpaper background. He painted it when his mother was dying with alzheimers. She died at 57 years. The collector who bought the painting a few years ago for $10,000 recently had it valued at Dunbar Sloan auctions in Wellington. It was valued at $36,000.
