Kia Ora from New Zealand - latest work

November 24th, 2009

Hi everyone..

Lots of nice comments coming to my Blog… I dont reply so dont be offended please… just keep writing, it gives me a fuzzy feeling.

My art is going ok, bit slower this year than two years ago but better than last year

.. I appreciate the support of my clients and friends from all over the world.. Christmas is coming so dont forget to buy an original or print for your loved-ones.. some of my prints are on special right now.. I will attach a couple of this blog.

Am finished the stock for summer, so no painting now until next April when Im probably going to South France for our Winter.  Will get a little villa for a few months and soak up the history of famous painters before me.  Imagine the influence that will have on my work.. I have been to Europe before but was too young to absorb the history and talent of the Great Masters.

No more new work coming out until after Europe next year unless its  commissioned.. I may have time to do a couple before then.

The weather in Christchurch New Zealand is warming up with our Nor Westerly winds lapping the fields of Canterbury… Tourists are starting to arrive, cruiseboat arrivals are down this year to around half of last year. Found a whole heap of older works in my studio which I cleaned out last week.. if anyone is interested to look at it let me know.

Well, thats it from me in New Zealand.. nice to hear from you all… kind regards, lots of love till next time

Hi all,

Ive been working on two 5 foot paintings - Ceroc Dance - one of which is going to Edinburgh Scotland next week.. this one is still available for sale..

Doing commissions

September 8th, 2009

Am working on large commissions at the moment, so not many new paintings yet, but after the two big canvases should have time to do something before Xmas.. in case anyone is watching for new work.

Also, I am open to more commissions if someone is wanting a personal painting.

regards rhonda
