Successful Christmas Exhibition

We sold paintings, silkscreen prints and prints, and limited edition prints are winging their way around the world to Denmark and Ireland, from the Christmas exhibition opening. There will be eight new paintings on our website tomorrow and two new drawings. Dad doesn't put all of his paintings on line. Remember that the Artfind calendar out around New Zealand has Marikihau (Mermaid) on it. We have beautiful new art cards around New Zealand. Look out for them.

Gallery Christmas Party in Four Days

We are all very busy preparing for the Christmas Party. Don't forget that the Art Find calendar is out all around New Zealand, and dad has Marakihau for the month of May. He has art cards all around New Zealand now also. Not only does dad have some beautiful new paintings and drawings, but he has some exquisite coloured sketches being shown at the opening for the first time.

Christmas Blog

We are having our Christmas Party on 12 December. Dad is working hard as always, finishing off some paintings for it. I always enjoy the opportunity of talking to lots of people. On another subject, we are getting travellers in from all over the world at the moment. Yesterday we had our first people in from Namibia.

Dawn Arrival and Parnell Market Day

Dad has just finished "Dawn Arrival". He used to sit on his mother's lap when he was little, when she was sitting on one of the boulders. They had a family farm at Oamaru. We had a terrific market day on Saturday here at Parnell. There were 20,000 people through. We sold some prints and a painting.

Dad's Paintings For Auckland Art Week

Dad is finishing off some paintings for his "Real New Zealand Exhibition" for the first ever Auckland Art Week 2010. The art week is organised by the NZ Contemporary Arts Trust. There is going to be a really interesting programme from 4-15 November. There will be all sorts of different exhibitions, programmes and surprises all over Auckland.

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.
