Eleven follows Decade. This painting was completed during February for the Raglan Festival of Art. Eleven is my first painting for sale in over ten years and can be viewed at my Raglan Art Studio.
Surfing in Raglan is a fairly popular sport, but today Manu Bay was for ’spectators only’ as this big wave swell was pouring into the points. Big enough I thought to warrant getting my camera out and taking a few photos. There is actually a jetski out in this shot, the waves were so big towing in was about your only hope of getting a ride. You can also spot the Raglan Surf School bus parked up by the boat ramp.
I am submitting a new painting in the Raglan Festival of Art, which runs from the 1st – 3rd of March 2008. I will post it up here once its completed, it will be for sale at the festival and I hope to have some work on display at my new studio that same weekend. You can preview all artists work submitted on Friday 29th February, 7:30pm at the Raglan Town Hall on Bow Street – most of the artists will be there and you can buy art at this point. Saturday 1st March – both venues open from 9am to 5pm. Sunday 2nd March – both venues open from 10am to 4pm. Monday 3rd March – Town Hall open for viewing from 10am to 2pm when the exhibition closes. The other venue is the Old School Hall on Stewart Street.
This month I am opening up a studio space with local Raglan painter Amanda Green. The studio space is right on the corner of Wainui Road & Bankart Street in Raglan, New Zealand (behind the new design store). I will be working from there most days running my graphic design and website business but I’ll also be producing paintings and digitial photographic prints, these will all be on display. I’ll post photos and more details once we’re up and running, at the moment there’s still walls to paint and fences to demolish!
