Paraparaumu Tenth Annual Art Show
Last night we attended the opening night of the Paraparaumu Tenth Annual Art Show.
Although it is very much a local art show for the Kapiti Coast, there was a surprising level of good quality realist art among the over 300 paintings on show.
I was honoured to receive two awards.
Merit Award for 'Best Representation of the Kapiti Coast' for "Kapiti"
Best Oil Painting of the Show for "Forest"
The Show runs through the three days of Labour Day weekend (20th, 21st and 22nd October) and is at the Southwards Car Museum Auditorium.

Web Site
I have now added the painting size to the title of paintings on the 'Works for Sale' page of my website.
My paintings vary in size a great deal and without knowing the size it is difficult to get a real sense of the work, from the screen image alone.
Also after a great deal of thought and investigation I have decided to include prices on the 'Works for Sale' page of my website.

The Big Wai-Art Sale is open over the next three days, at the Carterton Event Centre.
My painting "Kapiti" can be seen in the window.
I have a wall display, well positioned, immediately to the left as you enter the exhibition space.
Interest was high on Opening Night, and three of my paintings were sold.
Both Landscape diptych works to the left were sold, and also the small yellow rose painting.
The exhibition is open for Fiday 7th, Saturday 8th and Sunday 9th, and coincides with the Daffodil Carnival in Carterton.

ROSE PORTRAITS
I have completed six small rose paintings.
Theses are 10 inches by 8 inches and could be considered as flower portraits.
I use these as exercises in colour practise. They are fun to do and will be included in the upcoming Wai Art Sale.
